I just had my 24 week doctor’s appt and have this to report back:
Urine: Normal
Weight: 3 lbs (total gain)
Blood Pressure: Normal
Baby’s Heartbeat: Normal
Just the same ol’ drill. Except this time they sent me home with a little bottle of “Glucola” for the Glucose Screening Test at my next appointment. From all the horror stories I have read about the Glucose test, I was expecting to have to drink like a 1 liter, but this thing is tiny (I understand it may seem worse when I have to drink it all within a 5-10 minute period). And my doctor even gave me the choice of lemon-lime or orange flavor. Since I heard so many bad things about the orange one, I opted for lemon-lime, natch. So that is all I have to report. Things are going well and my daughter is currently jumping on my bladder. Fun times.
Three pounds? THREE POUNDS?!!! I have gained four times that much weight!
I had the lemon-lime one too. It’s even carbonated, so it’s really not that bad. When do you have your test? As long as you pass it, you won’t have to do the 3 hr test, which btw really sucks. When I was pg with Jacob I had to eat breakfast or else, so I ate lunchmeat instead of a doughnut on the day of my test so that my blood sugar level wouldn’t be high to begin with. I passed with flying colors! Now I’m a bit worried, but my test this time won’t be for at least another 3 weeks. I have not gained any weight yet. How weird is that?
Congrats on the 3 lbs! That’s great!
The drink wasn’t that bad. I had the lemon-lime too and it just tasted like EXTRA sweet sprite. I wouldn’t CHOOSE to drink it but it wasn’t gross either!
Only 3 pounds – wow! I was around 23 but week 24………but who was counting right?
