OB appointment update

I had my OB appointment today at 31w5d.  Here are some updates:

  1. First and foremost: I learned today that he is head down! AH! :) It’s really happening, this kid is getting ready to be born!  Freaky.
  2. My sugar levels were a little high today, the nurse and I think it had something to do with my Cinnamon Chex ceral and orange juice I had about 45 minutes before my appointment… oops.  They’ll keep a close eye on it next time and see if it’s still high.  If it is, I’ll do another glucose test.  They’re not worried about it though.  Could just be a fluke.
  3. I gained about 3 or 4 lbs since my last visit 2 weeks ago, which is almost twice what I have been normally gaining each visit (I was gaining about 1 lb a week).  My doctor thinks it could just be water weight and bloating, so we’ll see how it goes next visit.  Worse case: preeclampsia (although my blood pressure is totally normal) or GD.  Best case: bloating/water weight (like I said) - hubby and I went out for some indian food last night so we suspect that might be it. 
  4. Everything else is normal! Good! I just really have to keep a closer eye on what I eat so this kid stays healthy :)
  1. katunedited said: It’s probably just the sodium from Indian food. My glucose levels weren’t checked after I passed my 1hr glucose test. And, one time my bp was a little higher but it was because I went up 3 flights of stairs! You are so close, J! :)
