Well, I PASSED the 1-hr repeat test w/flying colors - wooohoooo!!!! They want you below 130 and I got 110 :) I couldn't be more pleased that I don't have to repeat the 3-hr (or do the 1-hr again)!!! HOORAY!
My feet are swelling something horrible (see picture) - yet, nothing else is swelling. They are not considering pre-eclampsia because my blood pressure is excellent, 123/60. I'm told to back-off from salt and carbonated drinks ;).
I've gained 6lbs since 4 weeks ago. The Dr isn't worried about that as it's all "baby, water, and breasts" (I quote the RN, lol).
Alysandra's hb is at 145 bpm. I think the sugar drink they gave me hyped her up a bit - they checked her after I had to drink that nasty stuff.
Fundal height is 29" ... which is about a week larger. Again, the Dr isn't concerned as they thought, by the looks of me, that I'd be measuring larger.
They did say that my iron levels are low. They want a minimum of 11 and mine is at around 9ish. So, I have to take Slow Fe 2xday now. They will be checking my B12 level at the next visit.
All-in-all, it went well ... and, I'm SUPER happy I finally passed the sugar test! :) <3
