So last week (week of the 9Th) I thought my "good luck" in pregnancy was over. Last week at my 7th month appointment I went in for a routine doctor's appointment and we did a glucose test to test for gestational diabetes. There's not really any cases of diabetes in my family so I wasn't too worried about it. Well... no one told me not to eat anything before the test! So I had a pop tart. Two days later my doctor's office calls me and say the sugar in my blood was a little high (like only 5 points over) and that I needed to go into the hospital and due a 4-hour test. So I did. First of all you have to fast starting the previous night, which isn't a good thing to hear for a pregnant lady. Then, they draw your blood, you drink the glucose juice stuff and they draw your blood every hour on the hour, for 3 hours... BORING! Well I passed with flying colors and everything is fine. I curse that pop tart till this day, not worth it!
Other than that everything is great! I'm still sleeping just fine (maybe too much) and still no heartburn or anything! I consider myself pretty lucky! Although I have been getting bigger which in turn makes things a little more uncomfortable, but that's unavoidable. Next thing to look forward to is the baby showers!
