So, I failed my 3 hour glucose test. I can now add Gestational Diabetes to my list of worries! As if the hospital food couldn't get any worse! They are going to try to manage my GD with diet first and they are going to do accuchecks four times a day. If things can't be managed with diet than the only other option would be insulin or some type of hypoglycemic pill. I honestly didn't need this with everything else that I have to worry about on a daily basis. Isn't worrying about your uterus exploding everyday enough?
Here's the best part of my day (please, note sarcasm) . The doctor that did rounds on me on Monday has tested positive for the swine flu. I'm now on isolation precautions so the wheelchair rides that were the highlight of my day are a no go for the next 10 days. Anyone that enters my room must wear a mask and I'll be on prophylactic Tamaflu for 10 days, also.
And, run over to Lily's blog to see another reason why I'm just over this day....

Oh Jen, Prayers that the rest of the day goes better. I assume this doc didn't know he had swine flu? On GD...I was afraid I was going to hit it with Jonathan...I failed my one hour and was getting ready for a three hour right before I lost him (not the cause), but my ob's office had assured me it was very managable. I'll be saying some prayers for you. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%! It doesn't matter if you lose your baby at 23 or full-term because that baby was special to you the moment you found out you were pregnant. With all your beautiful dreams of what the future held your child and your famiy. Don't listen to those two insenitive nurse. I'll keep praying for you and Cooper!
ReplyDeleteYou are freaking kidding me! GD AND the pig flu?! Plus that insane nurse?!! Oh, honey. Oh my. I'm sorry!
ReplyDeleteOh Jen, I feel so bad for you. What a crappy day!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I can't believe you are 27 weeks pregnant! YIKES!!!!
Sorry for the rough day Jen and for the bad outcome on the GD.. but try to focus on the positive. Only a few days and you will be 28 wks.. another great goal to have reached. You and I are on the exact same timeline so I check on you and Cooper often. Just hoping we both bring these precious rainbows home :D Take care and here's hoping tomorrow is better...
ReplyDeletePraying this was your worst day and that from now on everything is going to go from better to best! Thinking of you and praying for you constantly. Love and hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible day. I was just reading your post on Lily's blog as well. I'm sure it's really hard at this point, but try to be encouraged. So many people are thinking about you and praying for you and Cooper!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Jen. Hang in there. We are all praying for you. Wish you could take off and have a spa day. I wish I could bring some healthy goodies for you to eat.
