Agatch im so sorry for your loss :( i admire you looking on the bright side of having wonderful babies already. I hope you go on to have a happy healthy baby soon.

Afm...I'm almost 38 weeks and getting excited! This little girl will be my last and it will be bittersweet when this pregnancy is over but I really need her to be born already. Lol. But so far no signs at all of that happening.

Vs - thank you lovely! I think that's a great idea, I already started looking at other names to use as the first name yesterday.
Seems like my situation is nothing compared to yours and now i feel silly for getting so crazy about it! Good Luck! xx

Thank you ladies for all the well wishes and congratulations. Baby boy and I are doing great. The breastfeeding with Nipple shield is going great. Doctor did put him on 1/2-1oz formula (high calorie formula) after every breastfeeding bc he isn’t gaining the weight they want. So that is a little rough but worth it. Other than that he is great and loving this newborn life. For me it’s like being a new mom. (16 years since last pregnancy) it’s hard and wonderful!!

Rooroo- can’t wait to hear your new bundle of joy story soon!

Yess Rooroo- you're oh so close, i'm so excited for you!

22 weeks today, so close but still so far!
I wish my partner would hurry up and realise that now is actually a GREAT time to buy a pram..stress is real you guys.
Thank god we have a cot and the car seats taken car of!

Today at my 24 week appointment my doctor was concerned about high levels of ketones in my urine. Does anyone have any experience with this?

hi lovely, high ketones can indicate gestational diabeties which can be quite dangerous if left untreated, has your doctor scheduled your glucose test yet? Keep hydrated, sorry I haven't had this issue myself just information from fellow pregnant Mummas. Hope everything is going well x

Samantha, wow that went quick. Your over half way already, exciting x

Roo, can't wait to hear your baby news, I've been watching the forum in anticipation. Wishing you a smooth birth and fast recovery.

Hi Lindsay, i have never personally had experience with his but my knowledge of it is much the same as Confuzed, if it were in early pregnancy, it would suggest that you were not eating enough and your fat stores were what was 'feeding the baby'... now that you are 24 weeks along it would be linked to G.D.

Confuzed, the time seems to be flying by but still seems so far ahead! Very very excited! You're on the home stretch now arent you?

Samantha - yep 31 weeks today, getting so close. My iron was indeed very low so I'm up at the hospital for a iron infusion today other than that everything is going well.

Confuzed- i have my fingers crossed that this is the only issue you face in the next 9 weeks, it will fly by i'm sure!
