Apparently, my body sucks
...at processing sugars. Stupid insulin. I got the results from my 1-hour glucose test, and they were not good. Jamie said that they don't like the blood sugar level to be above 140 (and that's on the high side), and mine was effing 292!! I freaked out a little bit, but I s'pose this is why I decided to go to a high risk OB. Anyway, I have to do the 3-hour test tomorrow morning, but chances are, I have gestational diabetes. Bah. I'll know about that on Monday or Tuesday, and then we'll go from there. Wish me luck!!
I'm just scared b/c I had NO CLUE about this: I don't feel funky in any way, I haven't even gained any weight since my first prenatal appointment, and I really don't eat a lot of sugary stuff. I know, it doesn't have to do with what you eat, it's how your body processes it, and since insulin is a hormone, and I've always had problem with my hormonal levels...yeah. I'm also a little nervous b/c now I don't know what to expect. I don't know if they'll have me control it with diet, with medication, or what. I'll do whatever is necessary for the health of myself and my child, but I don't have to like it. ;) I really don't want to have a huge baby, which could happen, because I soooo *badly* want to have a vaginal delivery, and those of you that know me in person know how little my hips and pelvis are, and that even if he is "normal" in size, it's a possibility that I could have a C-section anyway. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
On an up note, my antibiotics are starting to work and I'm feeling a bit better, even if still a little under the weather. It's just good to not feel like complete poo.
Well, I'm going to go get in the shower so's I can go to the bank before work.
*luvs, hugs and snugs*
