I am now 28 weeks along and had my glucose test today. I actually did pretty well with it and the sugary drink was very sweet (it kind of hurt my teeth) but I chugged it. After about an hour they draw your blood and this is where I usually have the difficulty. Thank God for a great nurse, she was so fast that I barely knew I had a needle in my arm. The glucose tests lets the Dr know if I have high blood sugar and need to take the 3 hour Glucose test (which I hear is horrible). The reason for the tests are to ensure that I don't have Gestational Diabetes which sometimes can occur in pregnancy. I hopefully passed this test and should find out in a few days if I didn't. Keep your fingers crossed because I really don't want to go thought the 3 hour test. However, I've read that between 15-23% of pregnant women fail this test and need to take the 3 hour test to confirm.
I am now seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks and she said the baby sounded great. She took measurements, but I can't recall what she said (pregnancy memory, lol). I've gained some more weight and was given the talk, so I will have to be a little better behaved and maybe add a little more exercise to my life. Kudos to Bobby who did not rat me out, since he knows my everyday diet and has been there during my splurges :) Thanks honey! My next Dr. appt is on the 21st and our 4D ultra sound is on the 20th! We will post photos.
