So they make you do the diabetes testing at the beginning of your pregnancy now?! I have to collect my urine for 24hrs, then go do my glucose test... 🤔
I DIDN’T have gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy. They said they make you do it early if your BMI is over 40. Mine is 41. I had a lot of sac fluid with my first && they thought I would have GD, but I didn’t. So I guess the only logical reason is because my BMI is over 40.
@zoeysmom28 yep. That's exactly it. Not sure on the 24hr protein though, that's odd. Good luck on both!!
No. All 3 I did it at 28w. Are you at high risk for developing GD?

I did mine around 30 weeks. But I didn’t have to collect my urine for 24 hours I had to drink some nasty drink sit there for an hour then they took my blood
Did you have gd with your first? If so they make you test at 13 weeks to just see it you show signs.

I had to do that too at 13 weeks. I didn't understand why bc if you develop GD, you won't develop it until after 20 weeks. Did u have GD before? I had it with my son and I figured they tested me early with this pregnancy bc I had it with my last.

@zoeysmom28 that must be something new then. I thought they tested for early bc I DID have GD with my last full-term pregnancy. My BMI is also high too and it was with my son but they didn't test me with him til 28 weeks.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
AF due 29th, anyone else?
Hi all AF is due 29th Sept for me feels like forever away. Has anyone tested yet or when do you plan on testing x
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
They make me do it because of my BMI. I asked last time and they said it was bc I am over 200 lbs which puts me in a higher BMI for my height. The 24hr thing is protein, I did that for my pre-e at the end of my pregnancy with my daughter, not sure what it tells you this early but you have my sympathy!
