This afternoon I had what feels like my millionth OB appointment. I did my Glucose Tolerance Test last week so I was very anxious to hear the results. As I suspected, I failed it. I forget the exact number but I must have really failed it because the OB suspects Gestational Diabetes. She was already talking about glucose meters and diabetic nutritional counselors. I now have to do the 3 hour test (yuck!) tomorrow and the 24 hour urine collection test. Fun, fun, fun...
Other than that things look good. My blood pressure was 122/80. No sugar or protein in my urine. I measured at 36 weeks according to fundal height. So I guess I now know why people look at me like I am going to pop.

That sucks!!! It would be great if the OB was wrong about the gestational diabetes. I have a friend who is pregnant with twins who failed the first glucose test, but passed the 3 hour test. Hopefully, that will be the case with you too.
I take this the first test on Tuesday - I'm nervous about failing it!
Hahahaha, like you're going to pop! I haven't seen any recent pics but I think you're carrying these babies very well :) That last part still made me chuckle though!
Hopefully everything is fine, if not, at least this is something they can deal with and shouldn't impact their health or yours too severely. That's what's important, after all!
I'm just ready to meet these girls already!!!
