Hi Guys.
Well I'm going to be induce on 31st July at 38 weeks exactly. I may have to go in hte night before for gels though if I haven't started dilating.
Dr was happy with me. Not overly concerned with my BP just said to keep monitoring.
She said the same thing as you Tenny. Bubs is big all over which lends her to think that he's mainly big naturally, but the fat layer is probably from the GD.
She said that she would be more concerned if his head was smaller but his belly was bigger.
I was never tested for GD with ds so have no ide if I had it with him or not.
So I see my normal GP (who's still going to be away so will see then new one) next thursday, he will examine me and if I have started dilating then I go in on the following thursday morning. If I haven't started dilating then I go in on the wed night. No mention of if I start dilating inbetween though lol.
Anethesist made a good case for having an epi though. I know I am at greater risk of having a c/s for various reasons, but was hoping to wait til later in my labor to decide on epi or not, not too late obviously though. But he is encouraging me to have one early if I want to have one. He has made some very good points so will have to mull that one over.
Registra has increased my protaphane. Have bumped it up by 1 unit to 7 units at night. WooHoo huge amounts! I need to bump it up by 2 units every 4 days until my bsl stays under 5 at fasting. She wants to limit the amount of fattening up that bubs does between now and getting induced.
She has also put my on Novarapid at dinner time. 4 units and bumpup by 2 units every 2 days until bsl is under 6 units post dinner.
So now I have two needles every night. Oh well only 12 more sleeps to go!
Dr also said that I am 4/5ths above brim, so at least he has started to drop now.
Mum and I got some great bargains, particularly at ToysRUs yesterday. We got the Barn Yard Animals quilt set for $50! It was reduced because someone had returned it without the packaging. Nothing wring with it though. Also got sets of 2 leggins, tops and body suits by OshKosh for $5 a set. Normally would have cost $75 but I payed $15. We didn't really need them but I couldn't pass it up.
We have sooooo many clothes now. Plus my boss dropped over a huge basket full of stuff the girls have all put together and there were more clothes in there too.
I tell you this bubs is going to be the best dressed bubs in Victor!
Anyway enought of a ramble.
How are you feeling Tenny. No movement at the station yet!?!
I was getting BH every couple of minutes walking around the shopping centre yesterday. Mum was all concerned. But they were only BH. As soon as I sat down inhte car and rested they went.
Hope everyone's doing well today.
