Well, I had another close call, but ended up being very blessed. I did my glucose test last week while at my doctor's appointment and got a call the next day from the nurse saying that my levels came in high. They suspected that I may have gestational diabetes and needed me to come in and do the 3 hour glucose test ASAP.
So, Monday morning I went in to the lab. After having to fast for 12 hours before (that alone about killed me). They had to draw blood as soon as I got there. Then, I had to drink twice as much of the glucose as I had three days before within 5 minutes on an empty stomach. (YUCK)
After that, I had to sit in the waiting room for 3 hours and have them draw my blood once an hour during those 3 hours.
Needless to say, I was awaiting those results very anxiously. Wednesday night the nurse called and said that my results all came in normal and I DID NOT have gestational diabetes!!! What a relief! I am so thankful that I did not have to deal with another problem during this pregnancy.
Well, more info to come about the placenta previa on the 24th.... Let's hope my luck continues!
