They say it’s the little things in life. Well “They” are right. I had my Gestational Diabetes test on Monday. I was not looking forward to it for numerous reasons…
- I don’t do well with bloodwork
- I am already border-line diabetic and take medication
- I was sure I would fail and have to return for the dreaded 3 hour screening
- My doctor told me I was at higher risk than most
Well…..I PASSED! Yes not only do I not have to return for the 3 hour test…I do not have gestational diabetes. You would think I hit the lottery…my smile is so big. Although it wasn’t all good news. I am now anemic and have to start taking some iron pills daily but they said that is pretty common for pregnant women.
At my doctor appointment I gained a lot more weight, but Dr. Hayes wasn’t really concerned which is good because my only other option would be to start dieting. And now I start going to see her every 2 weeks instead of 4 because now I am in the third and final trimester. I guess this is really happening!
