I had an appointment with our Midwife yesterday. The baby's measurement was perfect this week- 30cm. I'm relieved about that. Everything else was fine as well. The results from my diabetes test from a few weeks ago were not great. At my office we used very strict guidelines and would have considered it a failing number (but we also over tested and over treated many, many patients). Betty uses slightly different guidelines which consider the result borderline. Basically with the number I had, there's about a 10% chance that I could actually have gestational diabetes. Betty thinks considering my diet, weight gain, baby's growth, etc., I'm very unlikely to fall into that 10%. I trust her judgement and we will continue to monitor those things to make sure nothing concerning comes up. I'm pretty disappointed by this, but I guess it could be worse... I will be very strictly watching my diet from here on out for sure. No more sugar!!! Seriously.
