I had my final monthly appointment today with Dr. Moll; after today my appointments are every two weeks and then at 36 weeks we start weekly visits. At this appointment I was tested for gestational diabetes. I drank my sugary orange flavored solution, which I had been told would be disgusting, but I thought it tasted like Sunkist soda, delicious....after finishing that I was given a timer with 60 minutes on it. During the time, I met with the doctor. We discussed my progress; she measured me, which I'm on schedule at 28 weeks now, and baby's heart is beating well. Then she told me I have to have the baby early.....translation.....she's going to be gone the week of my due date. Sooooo, we decided that she would refer me to her partner and that from this point forward, I would alternate my appointments between Dr. Moll and Dr. Ambur. I feel confident about this change. There was a chance that my regular doctor wouldn't be delivering the baby anyway if she isn't the "on call" doctor when my labor begins. I feel good about it, no worries at all!
After my visit I still had about 30 minutes on the timer, so I read this months Fit Pregnancy and oogled over the articles for a while. Timer went off and they had to take a blood sample and within minutes they knew if I was positive or negative. A reading of 140 or higher would make me positive.....I was at 105. What a relief.
I hope to have some updated belly photos posted soon, so check back this weekend!
