@sweetooth: I did see that. I almost asked them to do the 3 hour for me, because I didn't believe I have as severe a problem as they initially thought. But I met with an endocrinologist last night and she thinks the Metformin I've been on is keeping my blood sugar in check, and I can't take it the entire pregnancy. So they expect it to get worse soon :(.
-
@MrsCB:
Well, at least you're getting answers. But maybe you'll be superwoman and even if they "expect" it to get worse - you'll prove them wrong 
-
@sweetooth: I am a November baby too
My bday is Nov 6.
-
@MrsCB: Have you heard anything about inositol (it's a B vitamin) for treating high blood sugar? I'm taking it for something entirely different, but I've been reading up on it a lot lately and there are some studies that show good results in using it to treat GD and other blood sugar issues in pregnant women.
-
@shellio: *High-five* my fellow Scorpio
-
@FarmWifeGina: I actually just looked it up this morning because I remembered @smarties mentioned it in her recent blog. But once source said it was a category C. Metformin is category B and they told me I need to stop taking it :-S. Do you have anything saying it's safe in pregnancy?
-
@MrsCB: https://sites.google.com/site/miscarriageresearch/supplements-and-miscarriage/d-chiro-inositol This is what I came up with after some quick googling. Where did you see that it's a category C? Everything I'm finding says that it's a good thing to take during pregnancy, although probably not in high doses. I think maybe something to do with seratonin poisoning? But you have to take a LOT for that to happen (I was reading a study where they were giving depression patients 12 g a day and having remarkable success). It's something that's widely available in foods, so I'm not sure why it would be a category C.
ETA: not questioning that you found something saying it was a category C, just not at all understanding why, from the reading I've done.
-
@FarmWifeGina: You know what I mispoke about it being category C, I was also looking up Chromium (which smarties mentioned also) and that is C. Sorry, too much research in one morning!. But I did read on WebMD that it is, "Not enough is known about the use of inositol during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use."
-
@MrsCB: Oh, ok. I have no idea how many studies have been done, but both a nutritional counselor and a naturopath said it should be ok. I've been taking it in an effort to trigger the growth of more mammary tissue since I have been blessed with a lovely condition that means I literally don't have enough tissue to produce an adequate milk supply.

I had my 1st trimester screening appointment today. Things are looking good
And I have to say, this was by far the most amazing ultrasound I've ever experienced. I'm really beginning to feel like there's a little person in there -

@sweetooth: Isn't the ~12 week ultrasound amazing?! I was just staring at the screen in awe of the fact that there is a small person growing inside me!
-
@Cara M. 17: TOTALLY amazing! I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen! I wish they would send you home with a video instead of a printed picture
-
OK, I suck, I've been gone over the long weekend in D.C. so I'm just getting caught up today! @sweetooth: Awesome news that you had a kick ass ultrasound! Yay!
My next appointment is June 24th for the anatomy scan!!! Cannot WAIT. It was supposed to be on the 14th but I have a work trip that week and then they were booked the following week...boooo. Anyway, so I have that on the 24th, and then a boring appointment on the 28th. I am seriously DYING to know what it is!!!
-
@ms.janedoe: Yay, that's less than a month away!!!!
My anatomy scan is in exactly 2 weeks. We already know he is a boy, but I'm still super excited to see him again!!! This week and next week are my last 2 weeks of school, so that should go by pretty fast (I hope!) and then we'll get to see little Nathan again!
-
My anatomy scan is June 24th and my next OB appointment is June 25th!!
Appointment went well today. Got my goodie bag they give for 2nd tri
She is rechecking my B12 in 2 weeks and running a CMP.

@anbanan15: A goodie bag? How exciting!! YAY for a good appointment!!!
-
@Ash: haha yea we get one each tri. I didn't look at it yet though so no clue what's in there! I think I saw a stroller book!
-
@anbanan15: That's so fun!! :))
-
@anbanan15: Anatomy scan is right around the corner!! What's in the goodie bag?
-
@Cara M. 17: nothing real exciting...stroller book, bottle bag, samples and info.
-
I had my second appointment today (around 16.5 weeks) and it went so much better than the last one! Everything seems to be good. We're heading in for the anatomy scan sometime between June 10 & 20; they're supposed to call today to confirm.
-
Squeeeeeeeeee! Anatomy scan is set for July 3rd! Cannot WAIT!
-
Just updating about my appointment today--regular monthly one. I got the results from my quad screening, and everything was negative--yay! Also got to hear the heartbeat again, and baby kicked the doppler a few times and was very squirmy. Awesome!

It looks like the 24th will be an exciting day for anatomy scans! Only 18 more days @ms.janedoe: @MrsCB:!!! I wrote our names in order of appointment time
-
@anbanan15: Duuuude, seriously cannot wait.
Because I'm lazy, is there any way we can update the list with who is having what (I know it's on one of the other boards (maybe it's this one...I guess I should scroll up...hmm) after their anatomy scans? I know 3 of y'all know you're having boys but are still going in for the anatomy scans...right?
-
ETA: OK, I think this is where we're all at with sex updated--feel free to fix it/bold it/ignore it/whatever it. @anbanan15: your list looked way nicer than mine...I feel inferior...

Sorry I haven't been around the November boards lately. I had my level 2 ultrasound today and found out we are having a boy! Very exciting. Hope DS wants a little brother.

So many boys!!!
Anatomy scan tomorrow! I'm super excited! We have lots of fun appointments coming up in the next couple weeks for all of us!
