Hi Everyone,

My induction went well and it did definately not take 2 or 3 days, more like 5 or 6 hours from the first contractions - the doctors were quite surprised. I was fully dilated within less than 2 hours but the baby needed to still lodge itself in the pelvis for birth which took a while ...

Hi JG - Glad to hear everything went well and you are doing fine. I can only imagine your joy in brining them home. Again congratulations!

AFM - I had my prenatal appointment today at the hospital where I wanted to conclude them before delivery. Turns out that there will be no need and due to low ...

Hi deftonesmo,

Congratulations! Sounds like an exiting day. I hope Grace can come home soon.

Hi Everyone,

How is the last stretch of time coming for everyone? Things have gotten so quiet?

I am starting some homeopathic remedies for softening of the cervix and enhancement of contractions next week and have several accupunture appointments already. Not sure if this will work but I am ready ...

Hi JG,

All the best wishes and good luck with the surgery and a delivery of healthy babies. I am so excited for you. Please keep us posted!

Hi May,

I know what you mean. Gestational diabetes had me on the run as well. Mine is not very bad, just have to take an insulin shot at night and then measure throughout the day, no real diet or anything, and they cannot tell with the baby right now but am on weekly monitoring now. How about you ...

Hi Everone,

Deftonesmo is correct. It has gotten so quiet on the Board. I guess we are all preoccupied with making last preparations. Nothing much to report here beyond the nasty virus that has now returned and plagues me with a bronchitis again. I am on sick leave until after Easter but I can ...

Hi Everyone,

DefTones - We are starting our birthing classes on March 23. But then I guess it works very differently in Germany. The tours are generally done in informational sessions, so I had mine back in January. The class is led by an independent midwife. I am sure my husband will have a thrill ...

Gi - Congratulations! Should be a good charm that it is due on your birthday :) I wish you all the best and keep us updated.

JG - I am not surprised you were freaked out. I would have been, too. I am sure everything will be okay on Monday.

AFM - I feel paranoid also. I went to my diabetes set up ...

Hi Everyone,

Had my follow up at the Hospital. They confirmed the diagnosis of gestational diabetes, even if just by 1 point for the 1 st hour testing. I have to get my diet regulated tomorrow and then another ultrasound for them to check on the baby. Good times.

Faith - How are the triplets doing ...

Hi Everyone,

Just got back from a quick trip to London. My last travel during this pregnancy in a plane, I think. I had a great time, although it was for work, and will be off for maternity leave already in 6 more weeks. Time is flying.

I took my glucose test at an edocrinologist on Feb.8th. My ...

Faith - Congratulations! That is wonderful news and we are glad to hear all three are doing well. Best wishes.

Hi Everyone,

I am back from my trip to CA and the flight was not as bad as anticipated. Actually the way there seemed worse and the way back was very quick, even though it took 11 hours. Maybe it was the movies and constant running to the restroom :)

I am also feeling a lot of movement from the ...

Hi JD - May be a good idea. I have not seen it here but I can probably look when I am in the US. I did go for a scan today anyway. My doc already thinks I am paranoid. All is well except for a small vaginal infection for which I now have to take some depositories - again.

Hi JD - That is funny that you have similar problems. Well not really, but we have to make it through.

AFM - I decorated and painted our nursery with my sister last weekend. I also bought some nursery furniture. Now I am getting paranoid that something is not right with the baby because I do not ...
