How sweet ;) No gestational diabetes :) I am super relieved by those results, not sure why I was too worried in the first place. I guess being pregnant gives us many extra things to worry about!
However, my iron levels dropped so the nurse gave me the option of iron supplements or increasing my daily protein intake and also recommended Total Cereal to snack on. I guess this explains the afternoon fatigue while I simply explained the fatigue from not sleeping soundly at night. Given our upcoming travel plans and how I slacked off this past month with my iron intake, I opted for both options. We just don't seem to eat as well as we should while traveling. The nurse said it is very common to have some anemia during the final trimester because the demands of the baby are so much higher. I'm not worried about this, just glad to know so we can correct things now rather than later!
On a side note, I tried to register for a birthing class at 2 of the area hospitals. One hospital isn't offering the class in June and the other hospital is booked for their May and June classes. July 7 is the earliest class available. Hoping Baby Girl doesn't come before then otherwise we will have no choice but to just do as we are told. I'm not sure how much the class will help during the actual labor but it seems those classes are a rite of passage for the expecting couple. So hopefully her arrival will be between July 8 and July 30!
Sorry that this post wasn't of anything exciting...it's serving as a place to document the pregnancy happenings for us. The next post should be better!
