@jess412love FX your baby girl cooperates this time and she looks perfect at your u/s.
Just finished at my appointment with my CNM and took the GTT. My little lady is measuring 28 weeks at 28 weeks, heart rate in the 140's. Had the lemon lime flavor drink, it wasn't too bad, probably helped that it was cold. My midwife said she will call me later today or tomorrow to tell me if I passed or not.

I have an appt tmrw, just a check up plus the glucose test. I need to remember to call and see what foods are okay to eat before the test because I cant fast (My regular doctor has me eating once every 2 hours). I know a lot of people aren't looking forward to the I glucose test, but I am cause I really want to find out how it tastes for myself, lol.

Passed the one hour non-fasting glucose test @ 120mg/dl. Happy not to have GD, but told I still need to watch my sweets/simple carb intake a little as I gained almost 10lbs this month.
Edit: I can't type apparently.

@ST3WD That sounds like a good idea, I actually have one slice of cherry pie left in the fridge!
@Tacocatmom My midwife only does the one and three hour tests, but I have heard many practices that have switched to the two hour because it tends to be more accurate with less false positives and need to retest than the one hour.

@ruemorgan it didn't taste too bad. Mine was lemon lime flavor and served cold. Tasted like the syrup you would use to make a sprite. Definitely a bit thick but not as awful as I expected. I have morning sickness still and was really worried about whether I would keep it down but I managed. Good luck to you!
I had my 28 week appointment today and everything looked normal. My doctor did mention that she had never seen so much swelling/water retention on someone who didn't have any other health concerns during pregnancy. Yesterday I bought new shoes in a size 8 when I normally wear a 6.5! Even my face is swollen and puffy.
After a 28 week check up when do people go back to the doctor? I'm moving to a new state next week so I have a big gap between this appointment and my next one.
Good luck to everyone with appointments this week!

But I'm totally feeling like this is somehow my fault or that I've failed or that I'm a terrible person, despite knowing logically that it's just this extra organ I've grown messing things up. So I have to do a diabetes education appointment and get my little finger pricker thing. Sigh.

@Whitfry I was diagnosed at I think about 14 weeks with GD, I felt the exact same way as you have stated! Just know that you could not have done anything differently, its just the way your body is handling the pregnancy! It was even harder because I was put on Insulin at 16 weeks which made it even harder! I hated my class but enjoyed it all at the same time it was very informational!
AFM: I had my 26 week appointment today, OB and GD. Well at GD my sugars are stable which is GREAT but I gained about 8 pounds since I was last in, which apparently is very troubling.. so now I have to go back in two weeks to talk with a dietician.... UGH Then I moved on to my OB, well they haven't received the report from the mfm that I saw A MONTH AGO, so that was fun and my blood pressure was high, so now I get to go back next week for a check up on that... I have gained a total of 13 pounds, which I don't think is bad but they only want me to gain 15 total..................
ETA: I meant "hugs" but imma gonna leave that autocorrect in case creeper Internet hogs would be encouraging, too.

Last week on my way to work I got really light headed and my vision was all blurry for about 20 minutes. It felt like it does right before you black out when accidentally locking your knees while standing. After walking around for a bit I felt much better but I asked the doctor today and she said that since baby is taking more blood, my blood pressure can decrease so it's even more important to stay hydrated and get enough protein. 80-100 oz of water and protein (she suggested almonds) every 2-3 hours. Thought I was already drinking lots of water but I guess I need to step it up!
