Today is the fist day in almost two weeks that I feel back to my usual self. I am so relieved! And just to add a gold star to my day I found that my fasting sugar was under 100--which meant that my after breakfast sugar didn't skyrocket. Soooo, what this all means is that perhaps my virus, or whatever, was really doing a doozy on my numbers! If I keep this up over the weekend then I'll know for sure that my readings are normal, the virus was wreaking havoc, and I won't have to go on medication! Yay. Do the happy dance.
I had another prenatal visit that went very well. Weight, blood pressure, fundal height is all good. We talked about my Gestational Diabetes a little bit. He feels like I'm probably stabilized now and my numbers will be good so medication may be unnecessary. A few more days and we'll know for sure. He said, however, that I will be subjected to more visits and more tests because of the GD so they can make sure the baby is healthy and not getting too big. If I don't have the baby by the 14th (of November) they will have to induce labor for the baby's health. He said a normal pregnancy could go until the 21st, but not babies from Mommies with GD--they can only go a week past the due date.
On an icky note Jeremy left for Germany today. He'll be back next Thursday night. It always sucks when you have a travellin' loved one, but it's especially hard when you're 7 months pregnant and have been feeling horrible. The timing sucks, but at least I am feeling better today and I'm NOT 9 months pregnant. :)
