GESTATIONAL DIABETES TEST

On August 18 i went to the Dr. just a routine check up which went great. I am measuring where i am suposed to be and so is the baby. Her heart beat is amazing which is always good to hear every time i go in. Dr. Gaqthrum asked me if i had any questions, and i said yes! every women wants to know how much they have gained right? you get on the scale and see the numbers going up each time. i said so i have a stupid question how much have i gained? i am gaining to much not enough? He looked at me and giggled, and said you have gained 14 pounds!!! i was in shock i am not used to seeing those numbers hehehe. he said you are right were you are suposed to be. wheew i thought. that is good... i dont want to be gaining to much. guess i am doing every thing i am suposed to be doing. yea for me.... so after my dr. app i had to do the dread ful long awaited gestational diabetes test. i was really nervous since i have hypoglycemia and that my mom had D.G. so i was scared. I went to the lab and they gave me this bottle of orange looking juice, she told me that they usually give you 5 min. to drink it but she would give me 10. good thing.. so started to drink it. it was not bad but it tasted like that orange cough syrup i used to take when i was a kid. it was hard to get it down, just cuz it is so sugary tasting. finally i got it down and then iu had to sit there for an hour, good thing cole was there i was bored and he was getting antsy. finally they call us back to do my blood work. i hate needles so it has been hard for me to get pricked so many times these past 6 months. but i survived. it took the nurse awhile cuz my veins were small(probably not getting enough fluids she tells me) she says k your done if your levels are high or your dr. is concerned he will give you a call in the next couple days. the days wnet by and i kept praying that they would not call me. And to my surprise they didnt... Yea what a celebration. i was thrilled. that means my sugar levels are good, and there is no concern for G.D. what a relief. i was so happy. not only am i healthy so far but i dont have to change my diet. i can still eat my rocky road ice cream!
