29-9-2008 - Looks Like I\'m..

My mood while writing this blog: A bit concerned

Well went to go to my 3 hour test to see if I had diabetes because I failed the one hour test the last time. So everything seemed fine I guess when they drew my blood, but when I took that drink I was feeling horrible. I did rountine stuff like gave them a urine sample, weight, and blood pressure. Weight I gained two pounds since the last appoitnment which puts me at a sixteen weight gain throughout the whole pregnancy. I was happy about that and my blood pressure was normal.

Well, doctor gave me a pelvic exam because I told her sometimes fluid goes down my legs. I mean I was thinking it was all just discharge, but thought its best to tell her to be on the safe side. Everything seemed normal except I have bacterial vagonisis which is common and treated easily with medication. I'm prone to it, like some women are to UTIs and yeast infections.

Went to the waiting room for my 3 hour test to be done, but hardly made it through the first hour. I remember getting extremely hot, on the sweaty side and just felt like I was dying lol. I ended up puking, so they had to hurry up and prick my finger to test my blood sugar that a diabetic would use to check their own. And it came up really high. So now my doctor thinks for sure I'm diabetic and my body could not tolerate all that sugar. So I didn't even make it through the 3 hour test. Its seriously putting me through some kind of torture. They took some more blood from my arm and told me to call Wednesday and if it still come back up high I will have to attend classes for I guess a diabetic diet.

And it doesn't end there, I have to go back in a half hour to go for my ultrasound and check if my fluids are normal and also to measure him and stuff. I'm glad they sent me home to at least get something to eat because I began puking because I hadn't had anything to eat for so many hours. So I'll be leaving her soon.

I went to get prescriptions for those iron pills I'll be taking since they said I'm anemic because even with my prenatals I'm not getting enough iron in my blood.
