Today I had the dreaded glucose test. Actually, everyone else dreads it, I LOVE it! I think the orange sugary stuff that I have to drink is so yummy!! So I drank the stuff, felt a little funny and then my blood was drawn about an hour later. I will get the results on Monday. Hopefully this time around, my sugar levels wont be off the charts and I wont have to go through the 3 hour test.
I also talked to my OB about some issues I was having that I nicknamed "Labor Poops". For the past few weeks, about 2 times a week I am struck with severe abdominal pain like I am in labor. I have to breathe through each cramp as if it is a contraction. Sometimes I try to poop to see if that makes it feel better. Usually the pain subsides within an hour so I really dont worry too much about it. My OB said that it could be something as simple as my prenatal vitamins making me sick or they could be real contractions. She checked my cervix and everything was completely closed. She also took a culture to see if what I was experiencing was indeed contractions. We will find out the results of the culture tonight.
Dr. Gilbert checked the measurement of my stomach and I am measuring right on track. A lot of people mentioned that it looks like I am about to give birth but really, my uterus is no bigger than it should be at this point of my pregnancy. The baby's heartrate was checked and it was beating at about 150 bmp.
