28w 5d

So since my shock diagnoses I have been trying extra hard to watch what I eat - while I wasn't stuffing myself with crap food before I found out I have GD, I obviously need to make changes somewhere so im trying. Tomorrow im meeting with the specialist midwife and dietitian at women's hospital. I will learn how to do my own blood sugar levels, what I should be eating, risks etc... and I guess just any other general education about what this all means for me and our baby. My understanding is that following all this I will meet with the specialist obstetrician next week. I guess from tomorrow I will know more.


Had a midwife appointment on Monday - our wee girl is breech, she is sure keeping us on our toes!!! For now it doesn't mean too much, she has time to move into the correct position. If by 36weeks she is still breech will need to look at options such as attempting to physically turn her or opt for a cesarean. Not too worried about this at this point in time. Otherwise all was well. Have only put on 6kgs so im quite happy with that. She is only measuring a few days ahead so thats fine. All other checks were normal, just need to start taking an iron supplement as my levels were a little low.


Had our second antenatal class last night. So far im not seeing benefit from them as they haven't told me anything I didn't already know! We were hoping to use the classes as a means of meeting others due around the same time as us however so far it hasn't been all that social. Anyways, 4 more weeks of it so there is still time for people to come out of their shells!! Our educator isn't all that great to be honest either, she is very disorganised and dithery. She also has said a few things to get our backs up like how being pregnant is the most physiological normal thing and that every woman can do it.... a little wrong given it took science to help this baby be made! I just feel she should be a little more open to the ways in which some babies are made and not be so presumptuous!!!


My belly is moving so so much more now!!! Very large movements, some that actually catch me by surprise!! She is moving all the time now and even keeps me from going to sleep. I think my belly is rounding out more now too, sitting high... but to be honest I can't really tell ha ha!!! Just glad that all is well despite everything going on xx
