27 Week Appointment (and Glucose Test)

One day until the THIRD trimester!  That means one more day until we are 2/3 the way done with this pregnancy - ensue panic attack now!

I had my 27-week appointment today and dreaded glucose test.  For some reason, I have been really worried about this test, compared to an otherwise [mostly] worry free pregnancy.  I guess I fear that the small percentage of members of my family that have diabetes would somehow contribute to my failing the test, but we will just have to wait and see.  I don't have any of the other "risk factors" that they would give for developing gestational diabetes, so that is a good thing.

The test itself wasn't bad at all.  I chugged the orange drink they give you in less than a minute, and the 1-hour wait passed by pretty quickly.  I didn't get jumpy or anything, and mostly I was just hungry since I hadn't eaten anything since dinner the night before!  Don't worry, I treated myself to a gravy biscuit for breakfast afterwards :)

Otherwise, my urine test came back "clean," meaning that whatever UTI issues I have was having last week have been cleared up by the meds (still have to take them until delivery-boo).

Some stats from today:

For me:

Weight gained: NONE.  For some reason, I have not gained any weight since my last appointment on June 24th.  The pound I thought I gained at my appointment last week was gone by today, so I am still holding at 8 pounds gained total.  I am very happy about this, but only because Puddin' is measuring right on track - I guess I may be losing weight elsewhere while he [hopefully] packs it on!

Blood Pressure: 110/70

Fundal height: 26.5 cm

Puddin':

Heartbeat: 155 bpm.  I got some really big jabs today from him after spiking him up with that sugar drink, that's for sure!
