Glucose

My glucose was 123 < 135 and I’m not sure if that means I passed?? Hopefully yes 🙌

Uncomfortable

Anyone else just so uncomfortable now? I’m sure we all are but I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think I’d be in this much pain 😂.
I’m 34 weeks tomorrow and it’s so much effort to do ANYTHING in this heavily pregnant body. I feel like I’m not ready for baby girl to come but also, I’m so sick of being pregnant 😂.

Gestational diabetes testing!

I refused to drink the glucose syrup stuff because I’ve suffered with HG since I was 6 weeks and KNEW I wasn’t going to be able to fast or keep it down.

I refused the test in my other pregnancies but this time, I said I’d only do it by doing the finger prick test- and I was happy to pay to do it.

They obliged, and so today I start the monitoring!
Omg, 4 pricks to the finger for 5 days and I’m so glad I opted for this because it does not hurt one bit!!!
Nor do I have to spend a day in hospital 😂

My midwife at my booking appointment said the syrup was the only way to do the test but I knew it wasn’t… 😏

3 weeks early!

The second really does come faster! My baby girl arrived this morning about 11 am, just 10 mins after arriving at labor & delivery. I was having contractions all night and by the time we arrived at the hospital I was 10cm and ready to push. It was never my plan to have an unmedicated birth but here we are! I had a normal, healthy pregnancy but wasnt due untill the 27th. I would have been 37 weeks tomorrow. No real rhyme or reason why baby girl was "early" except that she was ready 🥰
