Pregnancy and Slimming World

[cloud*]

Just try chill as much as you can and get medical advice if its nor better soon xx

Pregnancy headaches suck but as you have said go to hospital if its still as bad tomorrow maybe they can give you something stronger than paracetemol x

I'm off to the doctor's this afternoon as it really isn't easing. My head is just splitting even with paracetamol & lots of water. Hoping it's nothing serious & they can give me something to relieve it.

Anyone else having ridiculous dreams?!? I dreamt that I have birth to a 5 foot rhino last night ! The other night it was an ailien with a huge set of teeth smiling at me! Think I must have a little anxiety but I've guy about 8 weeks to go yet!

With my first I had very vivid dreams that meant I lost my love of horror films, still can't watch them. Later in the pregnancy I kept having sex dreams which were really weird! I think it's normal depending on what hormones are surging round. I don't remember having any with my second & so far this time I've not had anything to strange.

Has any1 had gestural diabetes or know anyone who has? I'm gutted that I have it, I've read all sorts of scary stuff on google especially with having a low lying placenta too! I worry that when she turns it could put pressure on the placenta seen as its laying on top of my cervix! The more I think about the more freaked out in getting arghh

I haven't but just wanted to say try not to worry.Talk with your midwife or doctor if you need advice xo

Well I'm back from my diabetes check, my sugars were fine today however still have to prove myself 6 times a day! Have no more than 70 grams of carbs per day and give up chocolate completely! My little girl weighs 3ibs 9 at 29weeks and 5 days so they said she is right on track! She's so much bigger than the last scan! 39cms! I've been given a diet to do but only really have to limit my carbs especially at night! Go back in two weeks to see if its worked do hopefully I won't have to take medication!

I was relieved to know that it can't be passed into the baby, that was a worry I'm not googling anything like that any more the stories on there were shocking, like a lady in Canada gave birth to a 14.6 baby! I mean gosh could you imagine!!!!

Back from the docs, had tests but need to go back next week for more. Blood pressure fine, chest fine but a few things came up in the urine so I've to keep on with the water & paracetamol until next week. I'll get today's results from the lab tests as well as new tests done. Just wish this headache would go away but the doc didn't want to prescribe anything stronger than the paracetamol I'm taking.

Hope everyone else is doing ok xo

Wow that's brilliant isn't it! Has he had to change his diet much then? Mines mainly cutting out the sweet stuff I've always had a sweet tooth and pregnancy has magnified it! But they said if I'm desperate I can have diabetic chocolate or that 70% coco stuff that's tastes rank! X

Yeah true! I did my bloods this morning and it was 5.2 it should be between 3.5-5.5 so is defo closer to the top range! I have to do it again at 1.11 to see how my bloods are after my breakfast! I suppose healthy eating now for the next 8 weeks or so may help me just continue straight on after I've given birth hopefully! I've gained just over 3 stone since finding out I was pregnant! That's alot to gain, especially for my height I waddle now ha!
