Growth Scan At 28 Weeks Pregnant || Placenta Issues, Glucose Test and Pregnancy Symptoms
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 апр 2020
- I am officially in the third trimester. That alone is insane. I had my first of two growth scans at 28 weeks. There was actually talk of placenta issues and I really hope its not the case. I also had my Glucose Test done and I have to wonder who thought it was a good idea during pregnancy? I also thought I would share my third-trimester pregnancy symptoms as I feel that everyone focuses on early pregnancy symptoms and seems to forget there is more to come.

Hi, My name is Athina. I am a 29-year-old mama to a beautiful baby girl and wife to the best husband a girl could as for, Leonidas. We live in a small Suburb East of Melbourne, Australia. I am a Stay at home mom. I post videos about motherhood, cleaning and everything in between. I love being able to express myself without driving my husband mental :)
I would love it if you subscribed and joined me on this journey of being a mommy and so much more.

I'm so happy that you can talk about private problems that we all have. Good luck from Sweden ♡
Thank you so much ☺️
OMG YOU ARE THE CUTESTTTTT!!!!!! I love your bump shots!!! I am 26 weeks! I hope that baby girl keeps doing well for you! I'm so sorry about your nausea! I had it the entire pregnancy with my son my first pregnancy. This second one is like a dream compared to that! Keep hanging in there momma!
Thank you so much 🥰 Its amazing how different each pregnancy can be.
Love a good pregnancy update 😀I'm 28 weeks and 2 days today! It's going so fast now - baby boy due in July 💙
It’s like the first trimester goes so slowly and the second just flys by. Crazy. 😊
So glad you're staying safe and healthy in all of this!
Percentile doesn't necessarily matter unless you're below the 10th or above the 90th so long as you're tracking along the same percentile. If she was like 75th percentile then dropped, that would be concerning. But if she's always been right around the 50th percentile, then it's totally fine. There is also a margin of error with estimating size and weight on ultrasound.
Yes that is true. I am not too concerned to be honest. I am just monitoring as I would and looking forward to holding my baby. 😊
Sorry you had a terrible time with the GTT! I am about to do mine next week and I am not looking forward to it either hahaha.. your bump looks so cute!
Good luck. I guess it part of what we have to do for our health and our baby’s health as well 😊
I finally had my baby girl on the 18th of April rosabella-tracy is her name she's my first baby and it's the best thing I've ever done in my life there is no love like it I'm smitten 💜♥️🥰 I can't believe you're 28 weeks now I've watched u for a long time trying to get pregnant and now look at you glowing ♥️💜
Yay. Congratulations! 🥰🥰
The test in Greece sounds like the challenge (GC) which they sometimes still do in Australia but it gives false positive results and then you end up needing to do the glucose tolerance test (GTT) anyway. I believe in the USA they still do the GC but here that's old school. If a woman doesnt want to do the GTT then they will ask if you can atleast do the GC.
Some places still use the powder but most, especially in metropolitan areas they have a premixed version. I've had both.
Oh I had no idea. I knew that you had to do two hours if you failed the 1 hour but that’s about it.
Have you tried almond milk for your heartburn? It works wonders!
I will definitely give it a go.
Gtt is the worst. I had to do it twice but thank god negative. I’m 39 weeks and have had enough 😭😭 good luck Love
Oh you are practically at the finish line. You got this mama. 🥰🥰
That drink does suck! Sorry you had a hard time with the blood test. I can totally relate to the back pain and stuff!
I think the drink was a dream compared to the triple blood draw. We do what we have to do I guess .
I’m 14 weeks and I still get nausea after eating and I get back pain and pain on my right side of my tummy. Night time is awful I can’t hardly sleep they say dong sleep on your back but I can’t really sleep on my side as it’s painful.
Same here. They told me to not sleep on my back yet due to the pain I always end up waking up on my back.
Where I live in the states we get our mass produced prepackaged drink the appointment before our test and drink it 45 minutes before your appointment so they can draw your blood only once. This way your appointment is about the same length and you get your results from your doctor at your appointment.
That is definitely a better way to do it. I guess they do it differently in every country.
I’m 31 weeks and 5 days today I feel your struggles 🤓
You gotta love being pregnant 🥰
I know the GTT sucks but it’s so important to know whether or not you have gestational diabetes. I had it with my third and wouldn’t wish it on anyone 😩 now I’m ten times more likely to develop type 2 later in life 😕 I find it easier to drink it cold they had it room temperature last time 😩😩😩if you have GD they will call you. They called me two days after my appointment to let me know I had it 🙁
Oh no that is awful. Yes I certainly prefer to know in the event I have it that’s true.
Have you guys decided on a name yet? If so when will you be revealing? ❤️
We are trying to decide between a few we really like. The plan is we will know before she is born and will be announcing when she is born. 🥰
Athina Karpouzis awesome! I’m so excited!!
They also can't find my veins, so I have them go through my hand. I know sounds gross, but better then getting pricked 6 times!!!!
Oh wow. I never thought of that. It’s so horrible and then I bruise and it hurts for two days. Just bad.
@@AthinaKarpouzis Wish me luck!!! Trying for baby number 1!!!
I hate that sugary drink I think the testing is unfair and I heard a ton of bad things with that drink. I took my first one with my first baby and it was 3hours and they gave me 15mins to finish and it was 50ml. This time I took it for baby #2 and they gave me 5mins to finish and 75ml and it was 2hours I got diagnosed with gaestional diabetes at 30weeks I believe I am 38weeks already
Oh no. It’s just terrible. I hope you are doing ok. You are practically at the finish line❤️
Im 33 weeks and suffer heartburn so so bad :( I hope she has some sort of hair lmao xx hope your pregancy is going Okey xxx
I had crazy heartburn with my first and she was born with a full head of dark hair. This time hasn’t reached that point yet so who knows 😊
omg the heartburn is REAL 😖I'm 28 weeks and been suffering with it so bad too! xx
λιγο ακομα εμεινε ❤️😘
🥰🥰
The average weight for a 28 week baby is 1 kg which is 2.2 pounds and your little one weighs approx 2.6 so she isn't light ?? how much weight have you put on ?? The amount of weight they tell to gain is so much more than when i had my kids and that is why the birth weight is higher and so many kids are overweight and so many mums get gestational diabetes nowadays. We used to aim for under a stone and a half gain as with baby,placenta and fluid that is plenty. You may not think you are eating enough but it is shocking to see what a normal portion size and the recommended amount of calories is per day so don't worry x
I feel that she is a good weight too so I was surprised she was actually concerned. I think the measurements in Australia are different to Greece. I am ok since she is actually similar to angel and she was a big baby.
@@AthinaKarpouzis She is a good weight so you are clearly eating enough too or else she wouldn't be growing... I was tiny as you know and have never had a big appetite and my boys were a healthy weight and both are slim young men now so concentrate on eating little and often and keep most of it healthy so you can have treats too xxx
I was born 1.2kg at 28wks and seen as a big baby for that gestation. I know babies born at 28wks and be under 1kg. Dont panic!!
Babygirl is kicking to tell you to hurry up with video. Hospitals here in America are doing the same thing. I hope everything is where it's supposed to be and working because if it is not then either you are giving birth to an alien. Your body is telling you f you for getting pregnant. Cute baby bump. Nursery will be ready after babygirl arrives. Babygirl will come early. I enjoy your videos
You really think she will come early ?? 😂😂😂 my husband thinks so too for some reason.
@@AthinaKarpouzis she wants her mother just like the star of your videos
