Me also might have pregnancy diabetes.. cos my last checkup glucose was detected in my urine (1 plus).. so gynae say if next checkup still got then I also have to go for the test..
So right now I'm controlling my diet.. I actually gained 5.5kg at ending of 21wks..

Mrs Tan, Thanks.. Avoiding sweet stuff's not that difficult for me cos I don't really like things that are too sweet, but now I'm going to totally cut it out of my diet.. all my beverages will be sugar free from now on and no more biscuits, cakes, pastries or deserts.. And cut down on carbo too.. Will also tell silly hubby to stop tempting me with muffins and cakes.. Yep, yours sounds like Sciatica.. Conisder a pregnancy support belt?
Inc, they are: Needing to pee more often, increased tiredness and I've forgotten the 3rd one..
But it's not just that,
-my urine test was positive,
-plus I have a positive family history of diabetes (either one first degree relation or two second degree relations with diagnosed diabetes) - both my maternal grandparents have diabetes and my paternal grandma query diabetes,
-plus my weight gain is 3 kg too much..
-and the 3 common signs indicating diabetes
So it's everything put together..

Fresia, Jenifur, Garfield.. Thanks..Yep..
I have to take good care of myself if not baby will suffer too.. Was just reading on the various things that can happen to a baby with a mother who has uncontrolled diabetes.. Must definitely do whatever's needed to keep my blood sugar at nornal levels.. Hopefully it won't get to the stage where I need insulin..
Inc.. Just asked hubby.. the third sign is increased thirst.. I used to go the the toilet about 4 times a day.. Now I go about double that amount.. Don't worry too much.. You may not have it.. Your urine test has been ok so far, right? My last one wasn't.. So it's really everything put together, not any singular factor..
~ So many people seem to be having Sciatica.. Maybe cos we are all expanding very fast now..

Kuririn, You may want to note that Carbo's that are recommanded for people with diabetes are the ones with low glycaemic index. They include Wholemeal breads, brown rice and short strand pastas..
Fresia & Sneaky,
ya..its somewh between waist and butt. and when i press and try to massage that area, its hard to find it. it feels a bit like the ache after doing abt 1000 squats! but really sharp excruciating pain for me. whenever i sit down on my chair or get up to walk, the pain shoots. i hope it goes away...or else how to tahan thru another 3 mths...help...

Hmm.. none of you wanna try the maternity support belt for the pain? The reason there is pain is cos the weight of the baby pressing on the Sciatica nerve.. So it the baby's weight is supported, by a maternity support belt, think it may help?
Kuririn.. Do be careful if you are eating pastas outside, cos they probably add lotsa stuff that are very rich.. like cheese and stuff.. I got the "short strand pasta" from the net, it mentioned that generally the short strand ones like fusilli have lower GI than the long strand one like spaghetti.. There's a thread on gestational diabetes.. It's pretty informative..
I PM you some info in diabetic diet I just consolidated fro the net..

Yah, my gynae very strict about weight.. A few of my colleagues saw her too and she also told them to watch their weight.. I'm actually underweight to begin with but even taking that into consideration, she still says that amount of weight gain lor..
mrstan, as for the pain, i don't think there is anything the gynae can do leh. Massage the area and put hotpack. Maybe can use the bellybelt as suggested by fushiastar.
Kris, I'm having cough and sore throat now. I went to gynae yesterday and was given cough mixture and lozenges. He say over the counter from pharmacy also can. Better inform pharmacist abt pregnancy if you buy from pharmacy.

fresia: Thanks! I'm not seeing my own gynae later cos my gynae's too packed. Am seeing another gynae whom I dun really like, but what to do, really must get myself checked out.
I'll ask her if she can gimme anything for my cold and cough later! Can save an extra consultation with the GP!
mrstan, thanks.
I am coughly badly and I worry will bb feel uncomfy since when I cough, the belly will move up and down. Maybe bb will be dizzy? hahhaa....
Will drink more water
I think all of us should take good care now. The news said the Bird Flu seems to be coming back. So must be extra careful.

hi girls
u may want to check with your gynae if there's any cream to apply on the pain area. i too am experiencing the pain. Its exactly at the place where i used to have lower back muscle spasm
so i thought i'm the odd one out.
now, i only use some medicated oil to apply on it when i really feel its hurting too much. Dare not apply tiger balm which i used to.
kris, fresia
pls take good care of yourselves ok.

Mrs Tan.. I don't wear my belt under my clothes.. Quite uncomfortable, esp cos I'm applying stretchmark cream.. I wear on top.. My job allows me to do that cos I have to wear another gown on top of my normal clothes anyway, so my gown covers the belt that is above my clothes.. I find that it really helps me lor.. When I take out my belt (to go to the toilet etc) I can feel the weight of my belly.. If I can get away with it, I use my hands to "carry" my belly when I'm walking and I'm not wearing my belt, if not, belly very heavy.. Also wear it above my clothes at home, No one to see, so never mind..
Backache has been less..
Fresia.. Yah.. About the bird flu.. Must be careful.. I stay away from people who are sneezing.. Really cannot afford to fall sick if we can help it lor.. Good question about posture.. I guess things like making sure we don't hunch when we walk and sit down? If possible sit in chairs with back support? I find putting a small pillow at the small of my back when I'm sitting helps..

fushiastar : Congrats to you on ur little princess!
Do take care of your diet, ok!
Mrs Tan, sneaky : Yes, I have this pain too, right-side of buttock too. Think since 1 mth ago.
Checked with my gynae, he said it's due to the baby's weight, cos baby's weight starts impacting our buttock liao... I don't feel pain when sitting or walking, just feel very pain when lying down, can't move my buttock at all... 
My gynae suggested to me to apply some tiger palm cream to rub rub... very funny ley him...

Hi all..
wah , today v active.
I realise that gynae will always tell you to limit wt gain to 10kg becos' they know that eventually some mothers allow themselves to balloon to beyond 20kg! so upfront i think it's a good call for them to limit us first. plus with all this gestation diabetes..
Btw, I do not have any urine glucose but my gynae still insist on me taking blood test to determine if I have glucose in my blood - she says signs like feeling thirsty, fatigue, and peeing very often are indications of diabetes.
So far i haven't limit my intake of sugar but anything we eat can be converted into sugar, not just sugar sugar..
Kris - how come u suuspect u have V infection? is it itchy there? many antenatal infections dont have symptoms so i keep washing myself there.
If you take antibios, it also causes itch below - because anti bios kill good and bad cells.. it's a v common side effect.
Look like all of us have some pain here and there!! i describe myself as a broken down machine... I guess doc can't do much except tell u it's normal to feel pain because of water retention, loose ligaments etc.. so take care all of you!!
