Also didn't mind the glucose test and I found out today I passed. My result was really low...74. Anyone else that low? I eat a ton of sugar and I guess my body is good at processing it? I noticed my hemoglobin was also lower than the acceptable range so I will ask about that.
MFM tomorrow for growth scan and fetal echocardiogram!!!

I have my glucose test on Halloween. Do they give you results right then? Because I'll be super sad if they can't wait until after trick or treating to tell me the results.

I’m rewatching Stranger Things before the new season comes out tomorrow. It’s super creepy in parts and my dog keeps growling at the door. Probably should save the rest for tomorrow before I really freak myself out.

benandjerrys cake was just mentioning having a low number, but I remember hers was measured differently because Canada. I don't know how it would compare to yours. I have never been given a number result from my test. They just say if I don't hear from them it is good news, and I never hear from them haha! They were expecting my results from today by the end of the day so I am hoping that means I am good. We went to our zoo Halloween today because it is supposed to snow tomorrow and Saturday. It was like 45 degrees with 30 mph wind gusts. I am not ready for winter!!!

I hate how the glucose drink makes me feel. I’m dreading it and I’ve considered asking my ob if there are alternatives that would give them the same results.

Hey ladies! I am very thankful that M is in school full time so that I can go see L. L is doing good and gaining weight, only 30 more grams and he’s back to birth weight. It’s def tiring but at least I am feeling better. My house is a disaster but I am trying my best not to over do it.

peachesncream benandjerrys After ton of online research, I can’t figure out what the normal range is supposed to be after the one hour test. (I think it was tiffrobot who said she thought it was 2.2mmol/L to 7.8mmol//L). Canada does use a different measurement system. But I did figure out how to convert to the system used in the USA. I was at 3.3 mmol\L which is 59.4 dg\L. I haven’t heard anything from my doctor so I’ll probably call tomorrow or Monday. You would think with a degree in nutrition, I would remember more about this, but I don’t. I think this means I would have had a blood sugar crash after consuming too many carbs/glucose. Because I don’t tupically have signs of hypoglycaemia. So I’m trying to add in more protein. This can help your body to process the sugar slower.

Another UO: I don't think the glucose test is that bad. It has never really bothered me. The one hour didn't bother me at all. The 3 hour was pretty unpleasant. I was so hungry before it and the after the drink (twice as much sugar as the 1 hour) I felt jittery and lightheaded and nauseated. I'm hoping the fact that I felt bad wasn't a bad sign. I felt like shit last pregnancy with the 3 hour and passed just fine!
