Pics!
Ouch!
I have more to talk about today!
First of all, I passed my glucose tolerance test with flying colors. I called on Monday, and the receptionist called back and just left a message saying that it was normal. They put my results online a day or two later, and I was within the limits at every blood draw, even the one hour! I was amazed! My level was lower at the one hour mark on this test (even with drinking more of the stuff) than it was on the first test. I was very excited about this.
Second, I have been in so much more pain this time than last time. I forgot to mention it here before, but at Sara's wedding in May, I overheated a little and had horrible, painful contractions. Ever since then, I have had tons of contractions, some pretty painful. I remember having Braxton-Hicks contractions when I was pregnant before, but not anything painful until clear at the end of my pregnancy and not as painful as this. I also remember feeling pressure and my pubic bone hurting toward the end, but I have had pressure and pain there for a month or two this time around. Several times, it has been painful enough to scare me. The other night, I woke up feeling sick like I might have diarrhea. I never did, but I was having very painful cramps and contractions to the point that I almost woke up Tony.
Sara came home from Nashville last weekend, so she and Sarah Marlow did a sneak ultrasound on me at Marietta. The baby is already head down, which could explain the pressure since Evan didn't turn until a little later. She also said that my fluid was borderline again, which could explain why my contractions hurt more. She said it was around 8 cm, which is more than when they put me off work. I'm trying to decide if I want to alert Dr. H about this or just wait until I have my ultrasound next. I think I should have one at the end of the month maybe.
Anyway, I am not-so-patiently waiting. I am 31 weeks, so I have 9 more until my due date. It seems like an eternity.
