Doctors Appointment
Posted: 10-14-04 14:13pm

Hey girls,
i just got back from my appointment a little bit ago. I have gained so much weight! The doctor was like, michelle you needa watch what your eating. But then she laughed. So I hope she was joking Embarassed i've gained 28 pounds! Surprised whoa...

But yeah, I had my gestational diabetes thing and they took my blood. So lets hope it comes out good. I wont know until my next appointment though. Which is on the 28th. (i'm going every two weeks now)

the stupid blood taking lady was horrible, my whole arm is numb! I think she hit a nerve! My arm is killing me! When she went to pull out the needle she yanked it out and up and it made me bleed really bad! I have never bled that much after getting my blood taken. And now my arm has a huge bruise. Its gross...

But yeah, i'll take pictures in a bit - my camera is charging.

A lot of people gain like 50 pounds so you're doing okay. I have my next appointment on the 28th or 29th. I get back on the 26th and I know it's right after that. I have to get the gestational diabetes test then, but I have to drink tha nasty shi† I don't get to have a blood test Crying
or Very sad . After I read that post about the flu shot, I called home and had my mom schedule me an appointment for one. I get a flu shot on nov. 3rd, so hooray I guess.

Does anyone know how long after you drink that nasty shi† before they can tell whether you have it or not?

They know the same day. At least they told me the same day that i'd have to do the longer one. Then after the long one, they called me after 2-3 days.

At my doctors office - I drank the drink (which wasnt that bad - it tasted like orange fanta) and then waited an hour and got my blood taken. And i'll find out at my next appointment after they do the lab work...

I hate orange flavored anything! Ewww, I don't wanna do it, but at the same time I want to get it over with. Are there any foods I should stay away from around my appointment? They haven't told me anything.... Maybe they'll call me.

My doctor told me not to eat anything sugary that would effect my blood sugar. For instance, dont get up in the morning and eat cocoa puffs. Eat eggs or a piece of toast...

Stuff with a very small amount of sugars in it.

Yeah mine was a fasting, so I couldn't eat anything past 9 the night before. Make sure you ask, because if you do it wrong, you'll have to do it again.

Hey michelle-

dont worry about the 28 lbs, its all for the baby plus you are looking better than ever.

How much do you weight right now and how tall are you??

Its better to gain some than not any, thats for sure!

I hope you dont have it, and I cant wait to see the pics!
