Gestational Diabetes


Nope, I don't have it, but we had the test for it yesterday. I got to mix a little bag of white powder with 200 mls of water at 7:30 am, gulp it down, head to the clinic, and at 8:30 get my blood drawn.



The results were fine. Then it was up to the doctor's office for a lot of waiting. Eric had to wait outside while a friend came with me into the office where about 10 other women were also waiting.

The nurse measured me and listened to the heart beat. Then we put my little medical book at the bottom of the pile and sat for about 30 minutes. Finally it was my turn. The doctor looked over everything, said I'm fine, answered a couple of my questions, and sent me on my way. We found Eric out in the waiting room making a new friend who wanted help with English and headed home!

The only bad thing was after we got home I threw up. Yeah for 28 weeks!
