So today I went to my Dr's appt. I had to take the 1 hour glucose test which I passed with flying colors! 140 and higher have to take the 3 hr test. With Claire I passed by only 2 points, 138. With this one I was at 116. MUCH better this time around wouldn't you say?!?!
I've also only gained 5 lbs total this pregnancy, pretty cool dude!
So, Dr Long confirmed what the ultrasound tech thought, I do have gallstones and sludge. SO NOT FUN! It's very painful when I have attacks. It feels like I'm having a heart attack, and there is no position I can get into that makes it feel better. The attacks used to last about 20 minutes and now they are lasting hours! I've been up since about 3am because I was in so much pain. We talked about inducing early so that I can have surgery on my gall bladder sooner. He said once I got further along he would see if I was inducible. If I am then we will induce. Dr Long said I would be able to have surgery within a month of having the baby if the pain is still bad.
My iron level is within the normal range also, with Claire I was very anemic.
Kev and I bought the new Wii Active game Saturday. It's very cool. It's a good workout, better than the Wii Fit I think. I talked to Dr Long about working out with it, and he said that I needed to be very careful and only do low-impact exercises. I told him I would be extra careful.
All in all it was a good appointment I guess!

My friend had gall stones when she was pregnant and ended up being induced three weeks early and went ahead and had the surgery as she was still in the hospital. I had my gall bladder removed when I was 19 but I remember the attacks...oh my gosh I thought I was dying the night my dad took me to the ER and we found it was gall stones. I have never been in that much pain other than labor! Hopefully you can make it through without much more pain. I feel for ya!
