I had the gestational diabetes test today, and that orange glucola is sure unpleasant! I don't think I have any issues at all with blood sugar, and my blood pressure has been steady and low through the whole pregnancy. I am healthy!
I have also not had many eating disorder symptoms this pregnancy. I think this is largely because I am more at peace with my life and there is not too much stress and discontent that exacerbates ED things. I don't vomit most days from the Morning Sickness and his helps keep the GERD and heartburn at bay. I also don't have a lot of food guilt and have been able to exercise intentionally a few times each week, but I am not following a program and don't feel guilty or stressed about a fitness goal. Another major tho has been that my doctor has not weighed me even once this pregnancy. He doesn't believe it's a good indicator of baby health and does believe that it compromises my mental health, which is totally right. I don't obsess or worry about like I did in prior pregnancies. They are able to measure baby growth via ultrasound measurements. The baby weighs 2 lbs and 14 oz. I don't know how much I weigh. It's a plan that is really working!
It's currently snowing and a fantastic end of the 2012 year. I have been pregnant a lot of this year, from late January until mid April and from mid July until now. That is a long time! I am anticipating meeting this baby in mid March.
