I am 27 weeks. Woo Hoo. Not to many more to go. I was put on oral medications at my last appointment to help control my gestational diabetes. After looking at my glucose testing chart for the past two weeks, my doctor is very pleased with my sugar levels and wishes me to continue to on the same medication I am on. We had talked about putting me on an oral medication this visit to keep me from going into labor, since I am unable to go into labor for fear of rupturing my uterus, and also since I am prone to preterm labor. Last visit he had decided to put me on that this visit, but today decided he wanted to give me another 2 weeks before putting me on them.
He seems to think everything is progressing normally and that I should not have any fears of preterm labor, however I am still nervous and even more so after today's visit. Last visit I was 25 weeks and measured 25 weeks along. This visit I am 27 weeks and measuring 30 weeks. To me that is a little abnormal and is starting to show signs of what I went through with both Aaron & Garrett. Not only has the baby grown that much in that little time, I have not put on any more weight. (This I am proud of). I try to eat healthy and have to with my sugars, so I am very happy to have only gained 11 lbs for my whole pregnancy.
In other news, we discussed some upcoming events. My next doctors appointment will be in two weeks but he has recently taken on a partner, so I will get to meet with her, just to meet her in case we don't make it to the scheduled delivery date and my doctor is out of town. The next visit after that or possibly the following visit at the end of October, I will have another ultrasound. They will check to see how big our little guy is getting. The date has also been set for the c-section. I will be going in on Dec 7 at 11:30 for surgery. Exciting news. Also a little scary, since December is really not that far away. But maybe with going in on the 7th, I will be more healed to be able to enjoy Christmas some.
I believe that hits all the high points for my update. I am looking forward to the mid to late October visit and my next ultrasound. I have a lot to prepare for in the mean time.
