How long after your glucose + fast + blood draw do you get results? I thought it was almost instantaneously. Do they draw blood before administering glucose to get baseline of some sort.

Drs are concerned, but not flipping out. They seemed more worried w quad screen& 1st anatomy ultrasound results (amnio results were fine.) My job is mainly desk job, with some light lifting

I'm in the midst of sorting out my own registry for our 1st, so I'm ignorant on that front. But I lived in UK for years. There is less crossover in kids books than you'd think. So, American kids authors are less likely to be available,...

I'm now at 24 weeks w my first and 33 yrs old. Between 1st growth ultrasound (aprox 19w )and follow up 4 weeks later, baby's growth went from 40th percentile to 15th. This is still normal, but I am worried. My thyroid meds were also...

I was unable to sleep last night, so I was pretty useless at work today. I managed to make a pretty decent dinner our of a nearly bare fridge. I've got an early morning dr appt that means we will get to sleep in half an hour. So I'm on...

How horribly stressful! I'm a few weeks behind you. But I had a horrid OB at the beginning of my preg, and I found another that was patient w my 1,000,000 questions/ thinks of her own OB approach as very rooted in midwifery. Do you have...
