    Hi everyone, thanks so much for your words....I have completed the antibiotics course for UTI and been drinking loads of water (atleast 2 ltr per day). I have realized how much less water I used to take before I got the UTI. So girls, pls be conscious abt water consumption unlike me. I'm supposed to meet my doctor again next week. I guess she will ask me to go for the urine test again to check if UTI is gone.

    Priyanka, glad you had a nice lunch with DH. As for the movements goes, my LO gives a kick when my DH touches my tummy but only once. Then LO makes him wait and DH gets impatient and starts to tickle as though LO will feel the tickle. I tell him that I feel the tickling sensation and not LO! :)

    Stork, hope you are settling down fine. In the due date table, my EDD is incorrect. Mine is Sept 30th and not Sept 13th :) all the best for your tests.

    Ramya, you can get the triangle shaped cloth nappies in Naidu Hall, Chennai. My MIL has bought from there.

    Angel, wish you all the best for your tests. Thanks for the labor bag list. I have also started putting together my list....

    Sangeetha, how are the twins doing?

    Hi Girls - Thanks for all ur replies

    Ramya,
    Gud list.
    I dont think we will take bath in Hospital, becoz from my previous experience i didnt take bath i was given only towel bath till the days i was in Hospital, dont know the case for Normal Delivery
    Abt Cloth Napkins i saw few in a baby shop in Bangalore so i think it will be available in Chennai too. give it a try in Naidu Hall or Just born.
    By the way in which Hospital u r planning to Deliver? I am Planning to in Isabels.

    Angel- I will pray for ur test results. dont worry everything will be normal

    hi girls

    How are you doing??????????

    I was very busy in office so could not log in for many days....Still have some work to finish...I just wish this week gets over soon....I am really fed up with all the work...I have my GTT scheduled next week and had to undergo aome blood tests also....I am bit worried as now a days I am craving sweets a lot...If there is nothing at home, I will end up with sugar......God help me, I dont know how this will affect my sugar levels....I guess my LO is very much fond of sweets...I read somewhere that if you are craving sweets then you are going to have a baby girl....Girls, who know abt gender of their LO, please verify....About baby movements, my LO is moving now and then...sometimes I get kicks while some other time I can swear that LO is rolling in my tummy....I found my tummy very hard sometimes...Not sure whether it is common....From past 2-3 days, I am getting breathless by end of day...Yesterday , I wasso breathless at dinner time that I could not eat well...Dh was mad at me as I didnt eat anything after coming from office(I had one big banana, so not feeling hungry)...But this breathlessness is there for sometime.... Any of you experienced the same?????

    Will reply to all of you soon.....Bye n take care

    Ramya,

    Nice to hear from u after so long. Thanks for sharing the link.
    Yes we have all started to search for names and Stork has made a very nice EDD list with proposed names in it.
    Even we saw some cribs in Mothercare and liked them.....we will also order it in the last few days. Good....so u have already started planning for your labour bag....:)
    How is your LO doin?

    Lotus girl,

    Nice to hear from u too after long. I quite liked your gender game thing with baking soda....will try that out soon.

    Angel,

    GTT test is hard.....10 hours fasting....then glucose drink....then after every hour blood samples till 3hours.....i went mad due to hunger last time i did it! :rant
    Plus my blood samples were taken every 30mins....so i ended up taking 5pricks total that day! But we have to do it....its a routine test. Take care. Take some magazines and books to kill time. Enjoy your extended weekend dear.
    U know yesterday i went for thr premier show of Transformers....at 11pm in the night. Came back at 1.30pm :hide........so today i am extremely snooozyyy in ofc. Just waiting for 5pm so that i can rush home. But the movie was great:) Had fun!


    Stork,

    We will all deliver healthy babies.....nice chubby and healthy! Amen:)


    Sangeetha, Radhica, Chotumeetu, Pinky.........How are u doing girls?????



    Priyanka

    Heyy Anu,

    DOnt worry......the antibiotics will clear your UTI!

    So your DH tries to tickle LO......he he he.........:rotfl


    Take care dear,
    Priyanka


    Heyy Radhica,

    I just asked about u in my last post and when i submitted i realised u have also posted!
    Hope u are taking care of your health amidst the work load...hmm?!

    Regarding breathlessness.....even i feel breathless many a times in a day. Specially when i walk long or even climb stairs. Sometimes i can feel my heart beats have increased like hell.....:Dhak Dhak Dhak" inspite of the fact that i am just lying down and watching TV. I enquired with my doc and she said its normal. So dont worry about it.

    Take care,
    Priyanka

    Yep, I agree with Amar...The sugar drink will keep you pepped up..:)

    Even in India the three hour test (which is what is actually called GTT like what Priyanka said) is done only if one fails the 1 hour non fasting test, which we call GCT. However as I said in one of my previous posts, some hospitals do the GTT test directly..Mine had them separately done..I failed GCT but passed GTT..Thank God! :bowdown You will pass the tests too..Don't worry..
