29-10-2008 - more tests

My mood while writing this blog: scared

Well, I did another 3hour glucose test and......I have gestational diabetes =( ugh great! So that is another thing for me to worry about and not to mention the food here in the hospital is hard enough to eat as it is, now I'm on an even more bland diabetec diet. So they are going to monitor me for now, no meds or insulin needed yet thank God. They also did another test yesterday (I forgot the name) it is a swab that detects if something is releasing from the cervix when the cervix is being disrupted and its to further detect if I was to go into preterm labor. So the results of that test were positive - Oh my goodness. My stress level rose as soon as the doctors told me. He told me statistically, women that test positive on this test have a 50/50 chance of going into labor within the next two weeks!!!! All I can think of is that I can't go into labor anytime soon, she doesn't have that great of chances of surviving. My cervix was also checked with a vag u/s and there was a tiny tiny bit of shortening but nothing significant and doc said that was good. I'm still trying to remain positive and hoping and praying for the best. But worry sets in of course.
