Yeeesh! That's no fun! I'm really sorry, Sherra.

Oh, Sherra, I'm so sorry! Of course, it's ruined your day! But why don't the prayer warriors on this Forum get together, and pray that, once you deliver, there won't be any further problems with it - for you OR Case?

Oh Sherra, I'm so sorry. That really stinks about failing your 3hr test. Two of my friends had gestational diabetes and they said that it really wasn't that bad. Basically, you just eat healthy food and test your blood sugar several times throughout the day. One of them was deathly afraid of needles, but she said the little test didn't hurt at all. I'll keep you and Baby Case in my prayers.

Okay, to answer the other questions ...

1) I have gained 21lbs, and I am so swollen that I look like the Michelin Tire Man.

2) As of my u/s on Monday, he appears to weigh 5lbs, 7oz. They also moved my due date up one week to January 10th. I really wish that he could be here for Christmas. My doctor said that anything 37 weeks and beyond was full term, and I'll be 37 weeks on December 20th.

3) I failed my 1hr test, but passed my 3hr one.

4) No particular concerns, other than a smooth labor and delivery and a healthy baby!

I did fail my 3 hr, but barely. I am going to request to retake it. I have shown no signs of GD and dont' really want that stigma. I know it isn't horrible, but with me being high risk already, this is just one more thing I don't want to worry about during the next 8 weeks. (yes, only 8 left) Is it wrong to ask for a rest? I really think the only reason I failed my fasting by a few points was because I didn't fast for a full 12 hours. My nurse told me from 11pm on and test at 7am, but I don't think that is really enough, especially if you had a nice carb-filled dinner. It may seem like a stretch, but it would give me piece of mind. If i fail again, there is nothing I can do. i do daily injections already, so my fear of needles has been cured. I just don't think my numbers were high enough to warrent checking them three times a day. We'll see how my doc feels on Monday. We will be having a LONG talk about several things. She's been looking for a problem since day one and now she has found one, or so she thinks. Please pray each of you that she will let me retake the test.

Sherra,
Were you able to have that talk with your doctor today? What happened at your appointment??

I did get to talk with her, and I did get to retake the 1 hr fasting draw. But, she said she wasn't going to treat me any differently regardless of the results. So, they are more for my benefit than hers. This morning I have my diabetic class and we'll see how things go. Grrrr.

I would just like to ask you to please pray for me and for Baby Bryce, please. I just got out of the hospital. I've got toxemia/preeclampsia and I'm on bedrest now. My blood pressure was 160/110, and I've gained 20 lbs of fluid in the past month. I have to go to the doctor twice a week now to be monitored, and depending on my blood pressure, they may or may not have to induce labor.

I'm so ashamed of myself for wishing that he would be here for Christmas. I never meant for him to come early this way.

AWe, don't be hard on yourself. You didn't wish this to happen. Just take care of yourself and that baby boy. You both will be in my prayers.

(((((((((Ashley)))))))))))

You and baby Bryce are DEFINITELY in my prayers! You just take care of you, and everything else will fall into place as it should.
