Baby update...

Spent an hour or so with the midwife up at the hospital yesterday, showing me how to use my glucose monitor etc. I have to check my levels three times a day, every other day. The first time I used the test, I nearly punched the midwife in the face, as my hand jumped so much when I pricked my finger.

She looked terrified!

She's booked me in for an appointment with the consultant and an obstetrician for next Wednesday, who will tell me how to manage the GD, and how the baby is likely to be affected etc.

So far, it looks like the baby is measuring at 34 weeks, (I'm actually 30 weeks pregnant). The midwife told me that I will definately be brought in before my due date - they won't let me go over, but that it could be as soon as four weeks time, depending on how the baby is fairing!

Eek!

If we go that early, the baby will be taken away from us for a while, as his lungs won't be fully developed, and I probably won't be able to feed him myself... so - Tilly is now on a super strict diet, to try and prevent that happening.

Fingers crossed.
