Update from the Drs

After waiting for an hour in the waiting room I finally got in! I tried to keep my cool. I saw one of the new Dr's that they brought on and I'm sure she was just having a hard time getting into the groove. It did mean that I was going to be late getting in to work though. The first thing she said to me was well how are you managing your gestational diabetes? Did you bring in your testing numbers? I guess this means that since I declined the 3 hr they are just going to assume I have gestational diabetes. Whatever, I don't care, it just means that they will monitor me more closely which can't be a bad thing. I gave her my numbers for the past two weeks and she said "Wow, these are really good! You are just managing it with diet?" I told her yes, but the truth of it is I have always been careful of my sugar and carb intake so really I'm not doing anything different. Could it possibly be my numbers look good because I DONT have gestational diabetes?? LOL! Anyway, like I said, I don't care, I will continue to monitor myself just to be sure and so I have numbers to bring in, but I really think I'm fine. I am going to get another ultrasound out of the deal though. When you have gestational diabetes your baby tends to gain more weight, which can make it difficult to deliver. So, Monday the 8th I go in for my check up and ultrasound. I asked if they would induce me early because of the GD and she said they definitely won't let me go to my due date. Woo Hoo! She also checked me and I am dilated 1cm, 50% effaced, she said at station 3 but I think she meant -3 cause she said the baby was still high, and I am not completely soft. Some progress is better than none!

I ended up getting to work almost an hour late, but they were really nice about it and asked how my appt went. Then we went out to lunch, came back and I worked for a few hours. I feel a little crampy after my exam, but that is very normal. We have a busy weekend ahead of us. How cool would it be if I went into labor on Labor Day LOL. Wishful thinking, I don't think I'm that close.
