I think 5cm is a more than sufficient to be safe, so I don't know where the tech was coming from there :-/ As you said, it's 2cm or lower where "they" start worrying, really.
My scan on Monday was all good too, finally got a few pictures where baby looks like a baby Still on that annoying X-ray film though, so to share it I've had to hold it up to the light and take photos that way. We even went to a different radiology place for them! The staff were much nicer though, so that was good
All plodding along nicely here, still a couple of weeks until my next appointment. The new bed/mattress has helped my hip pain, now it's just groin pain :-/
Congratulations on your little girl!!!! What a wonderful little group of sisters they will be
Ugh at the risk stuff!!! An internal scan at 19 weeks to check the cervix on a 3rd time mother??? WTF? And I *love* how he's talking about making the "high risk" banner bigger with the 5cm clearance. More and more women keep being declared 'high risk' when they keep moving the goal posts closer and closer in.
Jenn- Congrats on your 3rd girl!!! We are having 3 girls as well!
I had my midwife appt today and we had a long discussion about homebirth. She told me all of the procedures for IF there is an emergency and it made me feel SO much better. This sounds horrible but I kind of thought if there was an emergency you were just screwed o.O She put all my worries aside and even told me she has birthing tubs she brings so I dont have to rent one! Im getting so excited! We discussed pain and I asked the golden question " What happens if Im in pain and start to wimp out" and she said something that has empowered me " Than I know you are about ready to have that baby". <3
Sorry haven't replied/acknowledged everyone's reply to my question about the GTT, haven't been in the best place lately.
Anyway just gave in and did it this morning as I hadn't been feeling the greatest despite other things being ok so blood sugars were the next thing to check. What a horrible test, blah! I still feel sick after drinking that stuff! Question (I should know this!) oes anyone know what fasting BGL should be? They did a test strip as well as taking blood and from what I could see (was distracted by DS) it was 6.0mmol I'm thinking that would be borderline for fasting levels but I'm not sure...
Still on that annoying X-ray film though, so to share it I've had to hold it up to the light and take photos that way. We even went to a different radiology place for them! The staff were much nicer though, so that was good
