Today is our due date!

Wow, our due date is here, finally, but it doesn’t feel as long as I thought it would when I tested for the first time early Sunday morning on the 10th of April.  According to several websites, I see that 5% of babies are born on their due dates.  So statistically the chances of our [...]

39 Weeks Pregnant:

Gosh, this past week my patience has been truly tested.  I really hoped this baby would come.  And then I realized that there is nothing I can do to make it happen, I can just as well relax and enjoy the last bit of my pregnancy.  But it was not easy to come to that [...]

38 Weeks Pregnant:

Wow, I can’t believe we’re at 38 weeks…  I am so ready for this baby to come now.  Every day I hope that it is soon.  The main reason is because DH is off this month and I would love it if he can spend as much time as possible with our son, before he [...]

37 Weeks pregnant:

First of all the good news is that I don’t have Gestational Diabetes! That glucose challenge test is unpleasant! I failed the 2hr test, but just – my reading was 8.6 and that is the level it should be or above to indicate a problem, so that means my body has a problem processing the [...]

36 Weeks Pregnant:

So today was time for a check-up again and from now on it will be weekly check-ups. Right at the start the midwife noticed that my glucose levels were way too high again in my urine. She said it might have been my breakfast, because it sounded a bit sweet to her (muesli, yogurt, rooibos [...]

34 Weeks Pregnant:

We had our first visit to the backup Obgyn today and it went well. Almost everything was once again perfect. I must say she did a very thorough check on baby and me, and she said the main purpose was for her to assess whether I still have a low risk pregnancy and we got [...]

33 Weeks Pregnant:

Firstly I want to apologize because I promised a post last week and I still haven’t finished it. Hopefully I will be able to post it soon. I’m 33 weeks today and boy, am I tired all the time! I feel like I have absolutely no energy, even though the weather is a bit cooler [...]

32 Weeks Pregnant:

The last week was a good week. The heartburn is better, I’ve only needed the Gaviscon about three times so far, and my back is also better, but I think it’s got to do with the fact that I’m not walking as much anymore. I’ve completely stopped walking at the gym and I can feel [...]

Check up at almost 31 weeks:

We had another check up at the midwife again today. It was the same one we saw the last 2 times and I was quite disappointed. Not that I don’t like her, I do, but I want to get to know the others better too. But there are still plenty of appointments where I’m sure [...]
