Thank you Arimah, Phoenix, Loupy, Rhichichi, Lilias, Curly, Sconeonamission, muminalice... I just wanted to say that each of you had something to say that I really took in, so thanks so much.

Yes - hormones, the body, pregnancy oh my! I guess the hard thing me, for all of us, is all the complexity of information that we now have, all the dos and don'ts, the statistics, the what to expect... In my mums age (I'm 37 and she had me when she was 19) there was just - "hey your pregnant, eat healthy and rest.. and wait for the Dr to tell you anything you need to know" although we are so much more empowered today.. a little ignorance can be blissful

As you guys were saying were all different aren't we and as some of you have pointed out, through experience or insight, Overweight doesn't always lead to Gestational Diabetes.. well hope not I was supposed to have my appt last night but it OB had an emergency, so will find out next week
