PURE GLUCOSE!



Yesterday I had a "lovely" Dr. apointment. Ya know, the one where they give you that not so yummy cup of pure glucose thats supposed to taste like a soda drink?



Any-hoo! I arrived and drank it. My "flavor" was lemon-lime. You basically arrive on an "empty" stomach (2 hr fast). Then they give you 5 minutes to drink it down. I of course did not want to "savor the flavor" so pretty much inhaled the thing. Then they want you to wait an hour. During that time my Dr. was going to see me. So as I walked from the lab over to my Dr.'s office I started to feel extremely dizzy! I'm thinkin', this can't be normal. Why do I feel this way? After asking my Dr., he said it was normal....especially if I'm dehydrated. OOPs :) Major sugar overload...which is kind of funny since thats about all I eat with this pregnancy anyway. Ok so I am weighing in at a whopping 136 lbs. My stomach measures 31. The baby's heart sounds good. I swear the kid is A.D.D., he is such a wiggle worm. He loves doing this at night when I'm trying to get my Z's...making a good night sleep a bit difficult. Ahhhh the saga begins. I am extremely achy and just deal with it the best I can. I know I'm on the downhill slope of this. The rest of my appointments are scheduled. At the front desk they insisted on scheduling an appointment on June 10th, which happens to be two days past my due date. I told the lady, there was no way I would be there, because if this kid doesn't push his way out sooner... I WILL BE INDUCED! The earliest they will allow me...I am there!!! He is already bigger than my girls and they came two weeks early almost weighing 8 lbs! I WILL NOT HAVE A 10 POUND BABY! Don't I sound so bossy??? :) They scheduled me anyway! I mean...what are they thinking??? So after all that I got my blood drawn and it was over. So until next time....see you all later!

  2. My Dr. sends you home with the glucose drink at your previous appointment and tells us to get it really really cold, on ice even. Drink it and head to the lab. So, it's not so bad like that. I don't know why all offices don't do that!

  3. Gotta love that glucose test :) I hope your little boy comes early - you're too tiny for a big baby. My doctor's office also scheduled me for an appt after my due date. I thought, "Don't you know pregnant women are already ticked off 99% of the time anyway -and then you go and do this?" - Come on people :)
