Thank you ladies! These contractions feel like you need to the worst poop ever mixed with nasty period cramps! If anyone is wondering! My family is getting ready cuz I think the doctor wants me in, cuz he told me that if I feel any pain to call him. Well, I waited all night!
Thank you ladies for the well wishes! I feel like I am walking the plank here! LOL...

ugh. just got a call back from my doc. i failed the 1 hour glucose testing
and i''m anemic.
I failed the one hour test. Passed the 3 hour with flying colors, as did a bunch of other PSers. About 25% of women fail the first test, and only about 10% of those women actually have GD, so there is a *very* high false positive rate. Don`t worry til you take the othr test.
Did you know, though, that failing the first screen is associated with larger birthweight babies?
He is usually most active at night, and I can just lay down on the couch, or I am already in bed, so it doesn''t effect me. But when he gets active while I am at work, not running to the bathroom, is all I can think about.
Yay! there have to be some more girls coming up for all our boys! 
Regarding macrosomia babies (technical definition of a big baby - over 8 lb. 14 oz. at birth), my best friend gained 70 pounds during her pregnancy, and failed her first glucose screening, then just barely passed the 3 hour test. Her baby was 10 lb. 6 oz., and had to be delivered by c-section (no dr. in the practice would even attempt to deliver a baby that big vaginally, because of the risk of shoulder dystocia).Date: 2/5/2010 11:15:26 AM

yeh, big babies are what i was worried about too. my mom was a 10 lb baby. i was in the 8 lb range so was my husband. and my grandmother also birthed 2 other big babies besides my mom. my mom + my grandma both had c-sections. and both are under 5'' tall.
