Well I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks since I posted last. Not a lot has happened till recently so there wasn’t much to say. We also went through the holidays which was busy but good. Thankfully I feel recovered from covid and was able to enjoy the holidays. So on to pregnancy updates.
I passed my glucose test yay! I was worried I would fail the 1 hr and have to do the 3hr which made me so sick with Kyle. They were nice with Eli and didnt make me do one because I passed the 3hr. But since it’s been 10 years and I’m old I had to do the 1hr which was fine I didn’t get sick or anything I’m just happy I passed and it’s behind me.
Had an OB appt yesterday and my BP is holding steady at 144/75. Though it’s never that high when I take it at home. But I had protein in my urine 8 weeks ago when I last was in the office for an appt (my appt last month was over the phone because of Covid). So I did the 24 hr test and my protein was slightly higher than before. So I got a pre-eclampsia diagnosis and she wants to induce me at 37 weeks. We will monitor my labs every 2 weeks and my BP I have to take everyday. If it goes up to 160/110 then I get induced at 34 weeks. But praying that doesn’t happen. I asked if I need to change anything and she said no just eat healthy and stay active and live my life. So that’s what I’ll do. Nothing I can do to change this. There was always a chance things we’re gonna go this way. I feel peace about it and know God’s in control whatever happens. Now we have an appt every two weeks!
Symptoms: I’m slowing down more and more and that is hard to adjust to because I like being able to exercise regularly. My low back hurts a lot and at night my hips hurt so bad I have to switch sides often. I’ve tried everything and the only thing that makes a difference is when baby isn’t resting so low in my pelvis which I have no control over so... I just deal. I am thankful for my chiro appts and regular massage. It helps.
Sleep is pretty good. A few nights this week I woke up between 3-5am but eventually went back to sleep.
Cravings: well anything chocolate but I still can’t really taste the flavor or chocolate it just tastes sweet. But I still eat it. Still fresh fruit, Oranges, orange juice.
Labor signs: just Braxton Hicks everyday
Measurements: belly measured on track and I stopped looking at my weight... lol
Baby heart rate 132. Got my rhogam shot at my appt yesterday.
