32 Week Checkup
Posted: 03-01-06 10:55am

I went to the Dr. On monday and had a
horrible time!!!
My weight is now 184 and i'm at a high
risk for pre- eclampsia (my blood pressure
is normal, almost textbook, and i'm not
spilling any proteins) so i'm good on that
level...He is just worried about me
swelling. I've gained 52 lbs. Since
becoming preggy and it wears me out every
day.
When I got there I knew I was gonna have
to get my .Rogam shot (cuz my blood type
is negative) but I forgot all about my
glucose screening!!!! .God did that
suck!! The glucose drink that they gave
me wasn't even cold! I had to chug it
hot!! Then to top it all off they didn't
tell me to fast so I hope my test results
don't come back jacked up!! Cuz i'm not
letting them poke me again!!
Anyways...I make 32 weeks this friday and
I don't know if I can handle all of this
weight!!! It's not the weight really
that's bothering me..It's my huuuuuge
belly! When the Dr. Saw it he was like
woaah...You gotta big baby in there!!!
My next ultrasound isn't until 38 weeks so
imma have to wait on that!! I really want
to see her again!!!!

I had to get that rogam shot too, not fun!
For the glucose test they had me eat,
then an hour later drink that nasty gunk
then come in right away for the test.
They certainly should have told you what
you had to do! Just like my doctor trying
to give me 2 rogam shots!! They gave me a
flu shot at my 27 week appointment, then
had me come in at 28 weeks just for the
rogam shot. Well next time I went in they
had it all out and ready to give me
another one. I was like "i already had
that" and they still didn't believe me so
I dug that card out they give you and
showed the nurse. Phew! Sometimes the
doctors/nurses assume we know everything
we're supposed to do, because they deal
with it everyday and must think everyone
knows!
I hope your glucose test comes back with
good numbers so you don't have to get
poked again. Maybe you've gained the
majority of the weight already and you
won't gain much now. Good luck

I don't gain anymore weight!! I know I
will but after seeing the scale, my
appetite has decreased. What I need to do
is purchase a scale to give me that
reality check everyday...Not just once a
month.
I start my "every 2 weeks"
appointments...So I go back in 2 weeks and
I know i'll have gained more weight...
Another thing...My Dr. Said that I could
take .Zantac 150 for my intense
heartburn!!! I was sooooo happy when he
told me!! My Dr. Is a young man and
always has these jokes....I told him I had
intenese heartburn and he was like
"good"....And noooo it's not! I also got
sick again and he told me to take the
robitussin and the benadryll together to
help me sleep and to break up the
congestion in my chest..
I asked my Dr. About the flu shot and he
told me that as long as I dont have asthma
(sp?) that my lungs could fight it and it
was not neccessary! So I was totally
excited about that!!! I asked him in my
3rd month though and have gotten 2 chest
colds since then!!
I don't have too much longer to go and I
can't wait!!!

Oh, I wish I would have knew about zantac
a month ago!!! I've been living on tums.
This past week my heartburn has been
soooooooo bad. I've only got a week until
my due date. So hopefully this lil girl
will soon drop and maybe that will help my
heartburn.
I wonder if you don't have gestational
diabetes....Would that cause weight gain?
I know my cousin had .G.D when she was
pregnant and I beleive she gained more
weight than she thought she should have.
Just a guess, but maybe that could be it.
Not trying to scare you at all tho. She
had zero complications, a lot of people
get .G.D
so far i've gained 24lbs. And hopefully I
won't gain any more and she'll be born
soon! I swear my belly alone weighs
24lbs!!
Time goes by a little faster once you get
to 2 week appointments. It did for me
anyways, just because I dreaded going! I
really dread going cuz it hurts when they
check ya! I don't have another
appointment until next friday (2 days
after my due date) lets hope I don't have
to go.
Hope all goes well for you. Enjoy your
zantac too!!! :)

how far along are you. I've gained 22
pounds and i'm at 27 weeks. My doc says
it's okay bcos I was considered
underweight before (at 5'2 114 lbs.).
I'm struggling with the weight. It seems
like my feet and legs are always sore and
I get tired very easily. My doc thinks
that another 18 lbs would be good for me.
I think she's lost her mind :wink: I
want my blue m&m to be healthy but I
darn sure don't want to gain another 18
lbs.

Tigre- i'm 39 weeks today. I'm due march
8th. And i'm at the point where the baby
is supposed to gain 1/2 lb or so a week.
I definately wasn't underweight when I
started. So i'm pretty pleased with the
amount i've gained. Hopefully it
shouldn't be too hard to get rid of. I
won't be going back to work until 3 months
after the baby is born, and I feel it's
easier for me to lose weight while I work
because i'm always active. But I have a
feeling it won't be *too* diffictult (my
fingers are crossed) it shouldn't be too
hard the 3 months i'm at home....She
should have me on my toes at all times
lol. But i'm not all too worried about it
either, all I want is a healthy baby girl,
that's the main thing. Do you know what
your having? Or are you gonna have it be
a surprise?

Babymjic I know how u feel I was 130
b4 macy and by the time I delivered I had
gained 53 lbs! (damn cookies) it sucks
being that big and trying to walk. And
now with liam I didnt loose all of macy
weight so I feel like a huge ball is in
front of me and I run into everything with
it. The scale makes me so nauseas. I
went to one appt and the scale was
obviously broken cuz it read 152 when the
last time I was there it was 170 but no
one listened to me I really wish it
wouldnt have been broken!

with working out too cause I wasn't
allowed after the c-sec but right now i'm
back down to about 140. Still a lil more

soon as the baby's out it seems to go

Yea that's pretty bad.....Every where I go
people are like oh my god you're about to
pop aren't you?! And i'm like...Not
really..I have 9 weeks to go!! And they
all tell me they don't think i'm going to
make it!!
My fiance didn't believe me that people
were telling me this until 3 times in one
day I got comments!!! I more than likely
do have gestational diabeties due to my
weight gain and hopefully I have a large
baby but not tooooo large (which can
happen with .G.D) my worst fear is to have
to have a .C - section because my pelvis
isn't large enough!! Then I really won't
be able to lose the weight....And i'll
have to get an epidural!!
Grrr....I'm going tonight to get my
.Zantac because I can't eat cereal and
milk w/out getting heartburn!!!!
I feel bad because now I don't want to eat
cuz i'm scared i'll just keep gaining and
gaining!! Hopefully at my Dr.S appt they
can diagnose me with something to explain
this weight gain!!!

A lot of pregnant women gain the weight
early and some gain the weight later for
some it is easy to take off the weight off
after the birth of the baby and for others
it is not. I hope that that none of you
have .G.D, you should let them know that
you ate prior to the test. The main
thing is is that you enjoy your
pregnancy's and rest as much as possible
because after they are born, that is it
and your men get soo jealous because they
are not the little baby anymore! It is
kind of funny in a way.
Good luck to all!

Lol....Hopefully the food I ate won't
affect the test....I ate about an hour and
a half prior to the test...And all I ate
was a "to go" cup of pinapple and a fiji
apple...Which is loaded w/ sugar!! Maybe
it had digested by then because when I was
drinking the drink my stomach was growling
sooo loud everyone in the waiting room was
looking!!
My grandmother doesn't think she had
.G.D...But i'm not sure if they tested for
that in those days but she spit out 3 10lb
+ babies!!
I'm shooting for an 8lb'er....I'm not so
sure about a 10lb'er!! Lol...But what
ever .God gives me...I'll be fine with!!
