Latest pregnancy news...
So, here's the update from the past 3 days...
*Monday I had a 3 hr. glucose test...and today I found out that I have gestational (pregnancy-related only) diabetes...BADLY. To which I respond, "what the hell difference is that going to make NOW?" I'd be changing my diet for a few weeks MAX, and also I can't do that diet AND the gluten-free at the same time...I'd only be allowed to have...WATER.
*Tuesday I had my 36 week sonogram. This is basically done in the last month of your pregnancy to be sure of the baby's positioning (don't want a breech baby!) & size, so if they are going to need to do C-section or something, they'll know. I'm still expected to deliver around the 21st of September. Aidan is still definitely a boy. Aidan is CURRENTLY 6 lbs. even, according to sonogram. And, Aidan is in the correct position & ready to go whenever it should happen.
*Today I went to the OB/GYN, and made a firm decision that I will be induced on Sept. 26th (technically my latest expected date was Sept. 21st, and I may be induced as early as the 19th). I decided to let things go as naturally as possible since inducing can strain the baby. All bets are off once I reach the 26th, though (if I do)!
That's all I know for now...just waiting for the egg timer to go off & feeling pretty good today aside of the gestational diabetes news.
G'night all!
