I had a doctor appointment on Thursday and everything is on schedule. Gained my required 4 lbs last month and all measurements are good! He's still moving a lot and now seems to get the hiccups a couple of times a day too! Poor baby. However, Dr. says that means he practicing breathing, so that's good!Next month I have my Glucose screening test. I have to drink a sugar solution that contains 50 grams of glucose. The stuff tastes like a very sweet soda pop (the kind I got is fruit flavored), and you have to get all of it down in five minutes. An hour later, the technician will take a blood sample from my arm to check my blood sugar level. The idea is to see how efficiently your body processes sugar. Results should be available in a few days. If the reading is abnormal (too high), which happens 15 to 23 percent of the time, the doctor will have you come back for a three-hour glucose tolerance test to see if you really do have gestational diabetes. The good news is that most women whose screening test shows elevated blood sugar don't turn out to have gestational diabetes. (Got that info off BabyCenter.com)Anyway, so far, so good! I'm feeling good and hoping it lasts for a while longer!
