Homebirth General Discussion #15

They did a similar thing with GD, when they lowered the threshold from which women were declared to have GD.

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

Jan 6 is a good day to have a baby Jen

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...

From what dh has told me, fasting levels (this is before eating and drinking anything in the morning when you wake up) should be between 3.5 and 5.5.

i think 5.5 to 7 is borderline.
