I went to the doctor yesterday and he reviewed my log book. Still had high morning/fasting sugar levels, so the doctor increased my dosage to 1 pill Glyburide before bed and 1/2 pill in the mornings. I think my doctor lied to me at my last visit so that I'd be scared and behave. He told me that the next step was insulin if I couldn't get my sugars down. It worked though, because my diet sugar levels weren't bad (had one mess up with 1/4 a banana) but that was about it. So I go back in a week so we can check my sugars and see if we need to increase to Glyburide 2x/day.....hoping and praying not!
NonStressTest(NST)
Had my 2nd NST after my doc appt. BabyNinja started out moving a little bit, but then decided to not cooperate for a while. The nurse had to keep me on the test for a while, but we got a great laugh at BabyNinja and his hiccups that lasted for 20 minutes! It was so cute because I could feel the hiccups and then hear the movement from them! Just when we thought he'd stopped, he'd start hiccuping again! :) We finally got him to move long enough to check his heart rate and be sent home with a good result! Yay!! It's easing my stress to see that he is,in fact, doing ok even with the diabetes, so that is uplifting.
The main thing i worry about is that BabyNinja isn't doing ok and they have to induce labor immediately. I know NinjaMan worries when he can't come to the NST that he'll get that call from me saying "Inducing me! Get here NOW!" And I know that he wouldn't go home to get our hospital bag--he wouldn't know where to look for the stuff that needs packed anyway--but I'd like to look somewhat presentable in our first family pic! But i would want him there ASAP too!
NinjaMan has been great for moral support with all thats been going on! He knows when I'm upset when he can't even see my face! Apparently my body language isn't very subtle in a worried state because NinjaMan and my midwife have rubbed my shoulder if I ask a question that sounds slightly concerned. At least i have the support though!
Check back soon for the post concerning my checkup with my blood sugar levels! :)
