28 Weeks-Doctor's Appointment

On Friday, June 3rd, I had my 28 weeks doctor's appointment. The main reason for the appointment was testing for gestational diabetes. With my crazy weight gain,  I thought I may actually have it. 

Before the appointment,  I drank the dreaded drink. I was plesantly surprised that it tasted like HI-C. It definitely gave me a headache and gave me  the shakes. 

At the appointment,  they took my blood for the test,  checked on baby, and answered any questions.  Baby was measuring normally and healthy. My weight had stayed the same so I was close to healthy weight.  It felt good.  

I was given homework though.  Before I go back, I must schedule our birthing class and find a pediatrician.  

For the results of my gestational diabetes,  I had to wait until today (Monday). I ate as much sugar as I could this weekend in case I had it. This afternoon I received the official news that I do not have gestational diabetes! I was very relieved!
