this week has been really busy. on wednesday i had my glucose test and rhogam shot. surprise, surprise, guessy what? i have gestational diabetes! wasn't surprised about that dx. also have low iron, which i expected too.
i was referred to a maternal fetal specialist and saw him yesterday. got a full workup ultrasound - babies are developing normally and looked really good. got a glimpse of rolly's face (finally!) and a bit of hiccup's. they look like the boy when he was in utero. the specialist is there to make sure that the GD and HBP don't hurt the babies or me. next tuesday i see a dietician and a diabetes educator about my diet and bloodwork. since i have insulin resistance, i'm already on that road and kinda know what to do.
it sucks tho. i feel like this whole pregnancy has cheated me out of 9 months of happiness. i spend the first 20 weeks worrying about losing the babies, and spend the last few months not being able to breathe, eat or exercise. i'm so grateful for these babies, but what a cost to have them.
rolly weighs 2 lbs 12 oz, and hiccup weighs 2 lbs 6 oz. i roughly have 5 pounds of baby in me. no wonder my crotch hurts and my pelvis feels like someone bashed it in! i'm 27 weeks, but carrying like i'm 32-33 along.
