Well, we had our last appointment with our California doctor last week and I must say that it was a great appointment!
First off, I do not have gestational diabetes!! This also means that I passed the one-hour glucose test, so I don't have to take the three-hour test! Holla! I was very, very happy with this news.
Baby girl's heart beat was in the 150's. Very good.
Since the doc has not measured my belly once during this pregnancy, I have been a little concerned on how this baby is growing. The doc finally measured my belly and baby girl is growing right on track, 30 cm=30 weeks! Woo hoo! (Still haven't gained a pound! Whoop whoop!)
My blood pressure is good, but my heart rate has been a little faster here lately. An increased heart beat is a pregnancy symptom, so I wasn't too nervous about this but the doctor still checked it out. My heart rate was a bit increased, in the 80's, but the doc didn't seem too concerned by this.
I've had a bit of pelvic pressure this past month. The doc told me just to keep an eye on it and make sure I'm drinking plenty of water. This goes for our cross-country road trip. Can you imagine how a very pregnant lady staying super hydrated is going to go with a five-day road trip?!!? This should be wonderful.

Oh yeah Dad will be super stoked when you say hey I need go to the bathroom! hahaha I think his rule of not stoping to pee on your road trip is out of the window hahaha! I love you! :)
ReplyDeleteRob had a limited pee rule as well when we drove back to VA from AK when I was preggo..... and I said that I would be happy to pee in my seat...so he let us stop! I also cannot tell you how many times I pulled over and peed on the side of the road. Ha ha! Some motorists can never unsee that one!
ReplyDeleteJust get a big gulp cup (or something similar), fill with coconut water and or water/citrus and drink away. :)
Glad you are doing well. We have been thinking about you guys and praying for you and Michael! :)
