Yesterday we went for our week 27 appt and glucose screening for gestational diabetes. The appt. went well... Sayer's heartbeat is still strong, my belly is still growing and I didn't gain any weight this time. The glucose "cocktail" that I drank, on the other hand, was not very good. I was able to get it down, but it tasted like I was drinking pure syrup.
Today I got a phone call from the nurse telling me that I had not passed the screening, which means I have to go back to the office on Monday for a 3 hour glucose screening. At which time I get to drink more of the glucose "cocktail". They will take my blood every hour and when the results of this test come back I will know if I have gestational diabetes or not.
I am really praying that I don't... with the holidays coming up it will be hard to stay away from the sweets!
27 weeks = 23 pounds
