Hey, thanks hun. Not too bad today, just don't think my body liked that amount of glucose!!

Lunch I had salad, chip and garlic chicken wrapped in bacon. Hmmm!

Dinner is either a chicken or ham salad. Cottage cheese jacket potato or a quiche. Not sure yet as Rob is on lates this week so it's more of a lighter easy meal just for me.

Dessert of course is pancakes!!!!!

 

[Jess<3]

Well I'm starving!!! Think I shall go make my tea. **off to rummage though the fridge!**

Hi I used 4 eggs, 1egg = 1 pancake....

Seperate eggs,
Mix vanilla, lemon or almond eccense to the yokes and 2tbsp sweetener

Whisk egg white until stiff.

Fold the yokes into the whites.

Fry in frylight! Don't turn for a little while, and cook on low so doednt burn. Xx

Well ive just been to see the midwife.

Glucose test results were great apparently, and stayed the same of 4.8 after 2 hours? I have no clue what it means lol.

Had a listen into baby again which i love, heartbeat 135-150bpm...
I had a student midwife there too who was lovely, baby is laying head down, back to my right-hand size which i knew he was on that size as can feel him lol.

Also it appears im measuring bigger than should be. Shes not worried, im seeing consultant next week due to high BP in last pregnancy so just routine and to have my 28w bloods there... Im back to see midwife on the 8th April and said if im still measuring bigger then will pop me to hospital for a scan to just check him

 

[Dubchick81]

Can't help much but I know results of 10+ a concern so ur way under
Great news. Keep us posted on the measuring big. Bout if she's not worried, u shudnt b either xxx

 

[sarah_lou1981]

When I had the GTT bloods of 7.8 or over was classed as GD. Mine was 7.9....typical!! But when I started checking it regularly it was up in double figures some days which is why I ended up on Metformin and two different lots of insulin. It had to be less than 5.8 first thing in the morning, so like a fasting test, so yours of 4.8 before and after is brilliant and nowhere near GD levels. X

ohhh thanks for that i understand now! I know with Jacob it was close but wasnt told anything else.

Im not worried about measuring big or not. As im big myself as it is so... yeh lol.
Be good if i do get another scan though love to see how hes growing! xx

 

[Dubchick81]

Oh that's weird Sarah isn't it.. Coz they told me over 10 was high... Anyway.. You're clear Jess so its OK

 

[Jess<3]

I guess its slightly different in different areas?

yeah all is good so no worry there! BP still great which should be as on asprin. (which i can tell my body is addicted to already! I ran out last month for 2 days and by heck i had awful headaches :/ )
