29 weeks

Had another scan with the Dr today - all still going well. Baby was sucking it's thumb - cute!

Good news is the baby has turned so that it is not in a breech position, apparently it is sitting in perfect place. It's weight is now 1.4kg which is about average, heart beat is perfect, and my blood results all came back with no issue. Oddly, it seems that, so far, the pregnancy has been text book perfect. Very strange feeling. I keep on repeating to my husband 'I can't believe it's happening to us - after everything we've been through.'

I keep on expecting our luck to turn...

Dr says our next milestone is 32 weeks.

Another catch-up with my Natropath

Yesterday I had another phone appointment with my Natropath, this is what she told me:

1. She said that 3rd trimester was time to increase my Omega3 fish oil to x2 captuals a day - baby's brain is developing now so it's important for that. Note: my DNA says I don't absorb Omega oils well, so maybe x2 a day is more than normal.

2. She said it's important to have x1 probiotic each day - important to help with the baby's immunity.

3. She said to make sure I'm having almonds, eggs, cauliflower, fish and avocado along with my normal diet.

Negative for Gestational Diabetes

Oh, I'm beginning to feel so happy. There's kicking and movement on a regular basis and today I found out I'm negative for Gestational Diabetes. My readings were in the middle of the normal range for the 2 hour test - yeah. That's a big deal because in the past, when not pregnant, I had a Glucose Tolerance test and scored above average for it. Dr told me my insulin levels were high and my body was struggling to break down sugar (though that could have been for the 1 hour test). He told me that while I didn't have diabetes, I was susceptible to it - so I felt there was a high chance of getting Gestational Diabetes, especially seeing I did research on why the baby could have a big stomach and found there was a correlation between the two. But my obstetrician must have been right, she told me she thought the large stomach was the sign of a healthy placenta. Oh, so happy.

Note: the 2 hour Glucose Tolerance test was not fun. I felt like vomiting for the full 2 hours, and it had me in tears. Yuck.

28 weeks

Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! We've made it to 28 weeks. Dr said it's a major milestone. Know it's alive cause can feel it moving.

V happy.

26 Weeks

All still going well. It's 1kg now, in the 60th percentile. The doctor said if it was born today it would have a 90% chance of living. She took an amazing 3D image of it, see below.

Can't believe everything has been so problem free. Not normal for us, praying it stays this way.
