28 WEEK CHECK UP

Today you are scheduled to do the Glucose Tolerance Testing (GTT) to determine if you suffer from gestational diabetes or glucose intolerance of pregnancy.  This is a normal test done during all pregnancies usually around the 28th week.  You were instructed not eat anything after midnight and you had to drink a special sugar enhanced drink called Glucola - there were different flavors / colors and you chose red.  You had to drink the Glucola one hour before your appointment and had to drink the whole thing within 10 minutes. Yeah, you did it!  You and Ken dropped by to pick me up and we carpooled on over to our 8am appointment with Dr. Y and staff.

It was also your regular 28 week check up and we were to go over the ultrasound that was done on this past
Tuesday.  Your appointment went well, we discussed with Dr. Y the possiblities of having to have a c-section and about your fear of having to have an episiotomy.  They had to draw your blood of course which wasn't one of your favorite experiences.  The ultrasound results from Tuesday were not in yet and so we set up your next appointment in two weeks.  We've reached that point where now your visits are going to be every two weeks instead of four ~ and do you know what that means?  WE ARE GETTING SO CLOSE to your delivery date.  EXCITING!!!!!!
