NO Gestational Diabetes!!!

30 weeks: Baby Ava is 15.7 inches and about 3 pounds now!!!

So I failed my 1 hour GD test on August 3rd, so today I had to come in and take the 3hour test. In other words, I was in complete hell for 3 hours. I had to fast for 12 hours and then go into the doctor's office to drink another glucola, on an empty stomach>:P About 30 minutes after drinking the glucola, I thought I was going to die. I was dizzy, nauseous and couldn't even focus my vision long enough to keep my eyes open. As I sat in the waiting room I thought for sure I was going to black out. I pulled a chair up to my feet, put my feet up, and laid my head back on the wall so that I could try to sleep, the whole time feeling like at any moment I was going to pass out! It was the worse morning ever.

Well, today I went into the doctor's office and they told me that I don't have gestational diabetes, however I do have some signs of insulin resistance, which they then told me happens to every woman at some point during pregnancy. I am happy, but somewhat frustrated because I don't really know what this means. Whatever, I am just happy that there will be no insulin shots or pills for me! Thank GOD!!!
