Glucose Test

Two weeks ago, I had to take a routine test for gestational diabetes. Turns it out came back high so I now have to go for a 3 - 4 hour test where I have to fast 12 hours before hand and then have my blood taken in hourly intervals. How I am now going to eat anything for 15 - 16 hours and not get sick is beyond me. Tyler and I have our birthing class this Saturday, so I will have to wait until next Saturday to take it.

We have our 7 month appointment this coming Wednesday. I called the office ahead of time to see if I could get an ultrasound just for fun. This is supposed to be a great time for the 3D. They said that if I expressed concern that the doctor would usually do it. They also said the schedule allowed for it. I really hope we get one! I can't wait to see how much he has grown!!

  1. yay I hope you get to do the 3D!!! Next appt may even still be better...I think 30-31 weeks is "prime time" but I'm sure it would be great now too! I can't wait to see what Baby G looks like!!

    Sorry about your glucose test....the three hour test is no fun...but I'm sure you are fine. I think like 25% of people fail the first test and majority of those people pass the three hour no problemo! Good luck!!
