wk26 update :-)

I had my 26wk ob appt friday whi*****luded the 50g glucola drink to test for GD and a sonogram to ck on size of baby and fluid d/t me measuring 3wks ahead at my 24wk appt.

The gtt went well!  I was super nervous that I was gonna dump and feel really ill but I didnt! The drink was ICK but I honestly felt fine, just a tad hyper or jittery. I drank it slow, in 10min like the ob said and I think that's why I did so well....had I chugged it I probably would definitely had been sick. I did have a small bout of reactive hypoglycemia abt 1.5-2hrs after the drink but some cheese crackers solved the problem quickly :-) I should find out results today :-)

Sonogram went very well! Baby boy is now measuring perfectly and NOT ahead, nor is there any extra fluid. Ob said sometimes they will have a huge growth spurt then taper off so thats probably what happened. He is still head down and looks soo adorable,  much like his older brother. Poor baby does look cramped already, he was bent in half :-( somehow hes gonna have to make it in very cramped quarters for another 10+wks or so.  We are still a green light for a VBAC, praying all continues to go well so I can have the birth that I want. 

Will update in this thread when i get my labs back. 

Hope everyone is well!

Whooo hooooo, I PASSED! My level was only a 86 and anything under 130 is passing!  Yay for not having GD :-)

Good luck with your VBAC!  I've had two and it is an amazing experience!  My most recent birth (in March) was completely natural.  It was hard work and definitely painful, but it really gave me an appreciation for what my body is capable of.  With no drugs to have to wear off, I felt amazing right after the birth and had a great recovery.  Hope you get the birth experience you're looking for!
