Blood pressure- 122/80. :-)
Trace of protein in urine :-/
Weight gain varies between 24-26 lbs so far due to water retention and time of day! :-)
Pitting edema :-(
Backache with Braxton Hicks contractions :-(
Baby's heartbeat averaged 150. :-)
Fundus measured spot on at 34 weeks! :-)
NST- reactive! :-)
OB is still not happy with the sugars being on the edge....he is talking insulin and Caitlin isn't convinced yet....he wants her to check her sugars twice (once with her machine and once with glucose machine at her work place with same blood draw) to ensure the accuracy of the monitor she is using....if it is accurate then she will be put on a low dose of insulin. If the machine she uses is inaccurate, then she needs to buy a new machine and track for one more week. The glucose monitor and strips are not covered by her insurance! :-(
Caitlin told them that she was having regular Braxton Hicks contractions. OB not worried if she isn't having more than 4 in an hour for several hours in a row after drinking plenty of water and resting. If they persist, then he will worry. His goal is 36 weeks ....if she goes into labor then he won't stop it....anything before 36 weeks he will try to stop if it is healthier for the baby and Mommy is not compromised. Of course the goal is to reach full term at 37 weeks and then hopefully the EDD. ....If you ask Caitlin....she is shooting for NOW....she is done being pregnant! Funny how we all forget this part of pregnancy once we see that beautiful little baby....It's all worth it!
