Early Glucose Screening

Diabetes runs in my family so Holly (one of my midwives), wanted to do an early glucose screening to find out if I had gestational diabetes.  The screening is normally done about halfway through pregnancy and I was only about 8 weeks or so.  I was pretty nervous of what the outcome would be, especially since I wasn't going to find out right away.  I drank the sugary orange drink and sat for hours until I was called to give a blood sample.....but I'm happy to report, I don't have gestational diabetes!  Yay!!  I'll do my best to make sure it stays that way and leave the rest up to the good Lord.

  1. YAY! I couldnt keep the drink down and ended up pricking my finger after every meal for a week to test. Yuck! Glad it went well for you!
