Okay, okay, I know I owe everyone sonogram pics. Soon, I promise. I have spent a vast majority of my time lately in doctor's offices and hospitals between mom's appointments and my owns. Good news on the mom front, her second drain should come out early next week and her PET scan was clear! Yay!
Not so good news for me. The results from my 3 hour glucose tolerance test were abnormal, so I have gestational diabetes. I have to go in next week and meet with a dietician and learn how to test my blood sugar. Four finger pricks a day. Oh boy. Until I meet with the dietician, no candy, no cookies, no cake, no fruit and no fruit juice. Sigh. Everyone please keep your fingers crossed that we are able to control this with diet and exercise so that insulin shots will not be necessary. I am not good with giving myself shots.
I am so bummed about this. My pregnancy has been great so far and I don't have a single risk factor for gestational diabetes, so this is really frustrating.
Of course, there are serious risks to me and the baby, but the good news is that gestational diabetes is highly treatable, so we should both be fine. :-)
