My mom and I went to my appointment with Dr S and I’m in the clear for GD. My glucose tolerance test came back at 112. Swwweet! My bp is still good and weight up 5 lbs. I need to quit being so lazy and start walking in the neighborhood. Husb has put on some lbs too so I think we’ll walk together. I’m surprised my bp is so great. I am prone to higher pressures especially when stressed. With pcos I know the risks for preeclampsia and GD are high. So I keep thinking I’m gonna get it. So far so good.
My cervix is closed and 3 cm long. Stitches are still in place and doing their job.
MeMe has a big ol’ head and she’s still head down. No cute profile shot this time and her legs were crossed. I asked the doc if she was growing okay and he said she looked fine but ordered another ultrasound at the fetal care center to more accurately check her growth. Do I really need that? I doubt it. I’m still on the fence about the U/S. Plus my HMO at work is going to cut off in a week because it lasts for 12 weeks if you aren’t actively working.
I’m covered under husb’s PPO, but it won’t kick in until I get the letter saying my HMO kicked me off. I don’t know if the PPO will cover the specialized care anymore without reauthorization blah blah blah. If not, plan is to stop seeing the peri, no U/S, and go back to Dr M until I give birth. I would rather have her as my doc anyway. Her bedside manner is awesome!
We’ll see. Next appt should be at 30 weeks.
Symptoms: insomnia, fatigue, shortness of breath with stairs, hunger, big baby movements, indigestion, random uterine tighting.
