Just when I thought I was in the clear...

in January 2011 Moms

Recap: at 6 weeks I was told I was having a miscarriage, at 7 weeks told it was a subchorionic tear but it wasn't clear that it would heal and the baby would stick, at 8 weeks things were ok. I switched drs and finally started feeling more confident in the pregnancy, and at the anatomy scan they said there might be a heart defect and downs. The follow up u/s showed everything was ok.

I saw my OB today - and my blood pressure was high. So she wants to see me in 2 weeks to monitor it closely and I'm officially at high risk for gestational diabetes (my dad and uncles have diabetes and I think my sis might have had GD with her first).

I feel like I can't catch a break with this pregnancy! Every time one thing is ok, another possible danger comes up. I know GD is not the biggest deal if you watch your diet, it's just that it's hard to keep having worries.

Add to all this, I'm having major family drama and I'm basically not speaking to my family anymore. (Which is probably why my BP was high.)

Gah! Thanks for letting me vent.

    Ugh.  I'm sorry.  You've had a tough road.  When is your GD test?

    Thanks. I know it could be worse, I just wish I could have time to actually be excited about having a baby instead of just worrying.

     My GD test is Oct. 5 - it's the 1 hour one though.

    Yikes! I'm sorry to hear you've been having so many ups and downs! Hopefully this is just one more thing that turns out to be fine! Good luck on your test.

    PS. Sometimes it's just easier to cut family off for a while! :o) Take advantage of the peace and quiet! ;o)

    I wouldn't worry about GD until you take the test, it's not the end of the world, I've had it both pregnancies (unfortunately I can't control mine with diet). Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and things get less stressful for you.

    I'm so sorry that you have gone through all those stressful worries!  Ugh!  I am glad to hear that everything has turned out alright and baby is fine and so are you!  Don't worry about the test until you take it, there isn't anything you can do anyway about it so no need to worry yet!

    I don't think its too much to ask to have a trouble free pregnancy and you are getting more than your fair share of worry.  I hope your GD comes back clear.  I just had my test and am pretty nervous for the results.  Its not the end of the world, but can dramatically change your delivery plans and is potentially dangerous to you and your baby if it is not taken care of. 
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...
