Today was the nasty glucose test. Please, please, please let it be good news (I don't want to count carbs, etc for the rest of pregnancy!). They have you drink a super sugary drink in less than 5 minutes and then they do bloodwork to test for glucose levels.
It was a 10 oz. orange drink. Started off not tasting too badly for the first few gulps. Then, YUCK! It was so sugary it started to feel like I was swallowing nails. Then, I was so loaded up on sugar, they of course had me wait 45 minutes in a hot, stuffy waiting room. Oh my Goodness!!!!
Then, they of course had trouble getting my vein, it kept popping over to the side. But, after 5+ pricks we finally got it, thank goodness!
Rest of the visit went well. His heartbeat is strong and I'm gaining weight exactly at the rate I should be (3/4 pound a week, even over the holidays!! Go me!). I'm starting to get much bigger now. Next visit will be my last monthly visit, then I'll be going to every other week.
