Hey Kristina - you're so sweet! I'm officially term today - yay! But my appt. today didn't go as well as hoped.
I have been being monitored for pre-e and submitted my 2nd 24 hour urine last week. Today the doc reviewed the results of that and the blood draw and my protein and sugar were both very high. I had been on modified bed rest (could still work but off my feet at home), but he ordered full bed rest today. And another 24 hour urine. And is treating me as if I have GD. I passed my 1 hour in August, but since I'm so close to delivery he doesn't want to waste time with the 3 hour, and referred me to a dietician today. Monday I meet with a nurse to get all the crap to test my blood sugar at home. Delaney is doing just fine....I'm just really upset as I had planned to work up until delivery and feel as though I've failed in some way.
How is Harrison doing? Is being a momma everything you expected? Can't wait to join the club!!
