big - 09:23 PM
(filed under 'baby')
i had my obstetrician appointment today & even he said how big my belly is for twenty-five weeks (tomorrow). i guess it's because i'm so little & rudegere seems to be normal size, so on me (well, in me), he looks very large. when i lay down for him to check rudegere's heartbeat though (very strong & steady, i'm happy to say 
) he said that it looked more normal. i guess he sits differently inside me when i'm lying down.
he gave me an order thingamy to go & have the glucose tolerance test done. apparently it's not one of the more pleasant tests you have to go through as a pregnant woman. hang on, let me see if i can find a link that'll tell you about it ..
okay, here. although on that link, it says you don't eat for six hours. my obstetrician said twelve hours, so maybe it's different here. i'll be doing it first thing in the morning though, so really, i should be okay if i eat dinner late. lately, i've gone longer than that before i feel the need to eat brekky anyway, so i think i'll be fine.
i don't expect that i'll be found to have gestational diabetes, which is what the test is for. i don't come under any of the 'at risk' groups & i've been feeling very well anyway.
from what i hear the sugary drink isn't very nice & there's a lot of it. i jokingly asked if i could just eat sugar instead (i love sugar. sometimes i eat sachets of it at cafes) but he said it doesn't work that way. hehe. oh well.
