Week 30

Today I had another mid wife appt. Before I went I had to have a 50g sugar breakfast so I could have my blood sugars checked. The results were a little high, so I have a glucose monitoring kit she let me borrow. I am going to be checking to see which foods my body does not have a good response to.

Hopefully, I will be able to control this with diet. She said that basically my body does not tolerate the increased levels of glucose that are produced for the baby. My levels were not too high, but because I had gestational diabetes last time, there is a concern.

Otherwise, I am doing well and baby is growing and his heartbeat is strong and clear.

Week 29

Week 28

Had a midwife appt. today. Everything is going very well. Jonathan is growing bigger, he is over two pounds now. He kept kicking the dopplar away while we were listening to his heartbeat!

I am doing well most days now; however, today happened to be a nausea day :( I had so many health problems with my pregnancy with Benjamin that is quite a relief to have no fainting spells, diabetes, or high blood pressure this time. In fact, I am in perfect health, so far! So yeah!!!! And thus far I have gained one whole pound, quite the different story from my last pregnancy, but lets not get into that!

I am now at the point of visiting the midwife every two weeks for the next four visits and then it will be weekly visits until baby is born. We are getting closer......
