So this week has been an all over the place week really. I had the hospital and growth scan on Wednesday which left me feeling a bit emotional if I'm honest so I think I'm gonna get straight into that and get that over and done with, first off baby girl is doing great and according to measurements is weighing in a 2lbs 3oz which is following the average nicely, so that's the good news. All my stats I think that's what they call them are all fine it's when it came to everything else, my midwife at my GP surgery had told me that I didn't need my bloods doing at 28 weeks but when I went to the hospital they asked why I hadn't had them done so I ended up getting sent over to get those done, we also spoke about my GTT and how I've been too sick to do it and was told as I had GD in my pregnancy with Ollie I was supposed to of started testing straight away my midwife at the GP hadn't told me that either and had just referred me to have the test at 28 weeks but thankfully all that's been sorted I've got an appointment at 29 weeks to see the diabetes team at the hospital to start testing my blood and I don't have to have the test and make myself poorly. I tick a few of the boxes when it comes to the GTT as my mum has type 2 diabetes, my BMI is high and due to my PCOS can cause insulin resistance so I ended up getting quite stressed and practically breaking down and having a cry. When it came to seeing my consultant she was lovely and told me not to stress although she told me to be extra careful due to the positioning of my placenta and told me that first sign of any bleeding or pain I was to get to the hospital and be checked over an that we would discuss my birth options once I've had another scan a 34 weeks to check to see if my placenta has moved any more or not. In all honesty I don't really care how Luna enters this world as long as she's safe and healthy I think I'm more stressed over the recovery from a section when Ben goes back to work and I'm left with both the kids. I think that's about everything in regards to appointments so on to how I'm feeling otherwise! Well little lady is playing the engaging in and out game and boy don't I know about it! I literally feel as if I'm walking with something between my legs all the time! Some days also feel like she's trying to kick her way out. I'm still sick and nauseous but I'm just trying my best to soilder on with it and not let it get the best of me. My sleeping patterns are also completely screwed too and I'm just so exhausted all the time and a bit groggy! Ben can vouch for that one! I'm sorry I'm not very nice to be around at the moment!
I think that's everything for this week so I shall leave you all with my 28 week belly which if I'm honest I feel utterly huge! Thank you so much for reading and I see you all in my next update at 29 weeks!
