9 Days To Go!

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment. I found out they were wrong, I am not diabetic, which I told them-several times. But of course since I did not go to medical school, they know MY body better than I do, right? I was actually told there were no symptoms with gestational diabetes! Are you serious?! And these are the doctors that will be responsible for my child's life as well as mine! You can imagine how encouraged I feel right about now. And, they get to cut me open...yay!

Usually the symptoms are mild and not life threatening to the pregnant woman. Often, the blood sugar(glucose) level returns to normal after delivery.

Symptoms may include:

• Blurred vision
• Fatigue
• Frequent infections, including those of the bladder, vagina, and skin
• Increased thirst
• Increased urination
• Nausea and vomiting
• Weight loss in spite of increased appetite

***I had fatigue, U.T.I's (Urinary Tract Infections), increased thirst, increased urination, nausea and vomiting, and weight loss in spite of increased appetite...it's called BEING PREGNANT! LOL!!!

With 9 days to go, I am feeling extremely uncomfortable. The hip pain is really bad at times, but it's walking and turning over in bed at night that are really the culprits of the discomfort. Her head is in my pelvic bone, so each time I walk, I have to go straight to the bathroom and the discomfort of her head hitting is not so great. I am a side sleeper by nature, but especially now...can't sleep on my back or tummy, so with the hip pain already as it is, and sleeping on my hips, turning hurts...so I am not sleeping well. I can't wait til she's here!
