Worst 3 hours ever!

Current mood: crappy

Well I wasn’t able to go to the lab for the glucose testing yesterday because when I tried to fast for 12 hours like they told me to, I couldn’t last more than 6. That is when the severe stomach ache, head ache and growling tummy kicked in. I decided to try to make it into the doctor today for my 3 hour glucose testing. I did manage to starve myself but it was AWFUL!!!! My last meal was at 7:30pm and I didn’t get to eat again till 11:00am! Also, sitting in the stuffy waiting room for a total of 4 hours was no fun. Especially when you become so hungry you get nasious. I did manage to make it the full 3 hours and with the nurses taking turns on drawing blood from each of my arms. (A total of 4 times, 5 viles total.. and I am still brusied from the blood they drew last week )Well, it is over, THANK GOODNESS! Though I haven’t received the final confirmation from the doctor, I did manage to check my test results online. It does look like my results are normal and I may NOT have gestational diabetes afterall. YAY! I hope that is right. As for now I am still recovering from not eating and my body is slowly starting to feel better. No food or water for 15 hours total is not easy, especially me who since my pregnancy have become an eating machine! I am still waiting to hear the results of the baby’s ultra sound and if we get good news from that, I can finally rest easier and breathe a bit better... that is till baby Mia climbs up my rib cage and sits on my diaphram making it hard to breathe haha.

I’ll write again later when we find out more info, till then I am off to bed
