I was given the glucose test today. I went to the lab an hour before my appt and drank some kind of orange flavored drink. It tasted like soda. I'm assuming the test determines whether or not i have gestational diabetes.

I went to my appt after the lab, and her heart beat was pretty fast. That was due to that sugar drink that i had. So that was to be expected. She also discussed signs of preterm labor with me, so that i'm well educated about when i should go to L&D to be checked out.

My doctor has let me know that I'm gaining too much weight too fast. They only advice gaining 20 to 25 pounds during a pregnancy. I'm already at that point, and i have a couple more months to go. I'm not too sure how i'm to not gain anymore weight. That's gonna be a tough one, coz i've been eating like a pig lately. My favs are a whole can of spam, and a lot of rice, and a peanut butter and banana sandwhich. The rice is probably the reason why i've been putting so much on. Well my husbands keeps telling me to eat and eat, and not listen to the doctor. He says that it's for the baby. i hope he's right, and i have myself one chubby baby.
