Whelp it's the final weeks... Everything this pregnancy seems to be wrapping up as smoothly as it can with GD. Dealing with leg pain, mostly from medicine that helps control blood sugar. Weekly appointments, where I get to take a non-stress test and get an ultrasound down.
I'm debating about getting a tour of the hospital just because I've never had a reason to visit this one. Plus it's a lot bigger than the one I delivered in 1,000 miles away :/ I've gotten into a good cleaning mode. Hubby can't do nearly as much as I nor can he keep up. So it's up to me. Should be ordering the last of the baby item's needed, like carseat and swing probably next week.
Had the Strep B swap done on Tuesday, I've always been negative for it, so I don't think this time should be any different. My OB even offered to check and see if there was any dilation yet (not that feel any BH or anything unless I'm on my side at the wrong time) He said I'm ruffly 1/2 cm dilated. I don't count that for much, but I keep telling baby she has to wait for her due date or she wants to be nice so I can get an extra paycheck in she can wait up to a week and no more.
I found out I qualified for FMLA so I'm going to the 12 weeks this time around. No need to stress over pumping or buying bottles right away will be real nice. But I plan to work up until the day I labor so I get the most out of my leave . Just gotta figure out how to put that on the paperwork. I have another growth ultrasound on Tuesday, as it stood earlier this month she was estimated at 5lbs and 2 days ahead. And since blood sugar is control (95%) of the time and I'm on my treadmill up to 5 times a day depending on my legs and how baby is positioned, I don't think she should of gained too much weight. Brothers were both 8lb 8.6oz and 8lbs 14oz, So she would be somewhere around there too.
The only that bothered me this last appointment was the OB commented that he hopes I go into labor naturally. So I retorted, it happened the last two times and I was barely active first pregnancy, really active until the last 4 weeks of last pregnancy, and trying not to be too lazy with a desk job this time around. I say my chances of normal labor (not induced) are pretty darn high.
So anyways, if I want to set up a tour with hospital so I know what I'm doing (especially if it's middle of the day, always went to hospital at wee morning hours) how would I do that? In a general sense. Thanks Sorry for the long update :wink:
