Well I was fortunate enough to have my glucose come back with only one abnormal so no gestational diabetes! But we're not done yet....
My feet have been constantly swollen since they started up. On top of that, I had a blood pressure spike that landed me in the hospital for several hours to monitor and do some testing to make sure it wasn't Pre-eclampsia. Once at the hospital my bp was fine and my urine was good so they sent me home and just told me take it easy and be on modified bed rest for now to be safe.
The following week (this last week) on Wednesday I went in to my OB's office to have a 3D ultrasound done for the guys. While I was there, I was told that my blood work from the hospital showed elevated liver enzymes so they gave me a lab order to have it checked again. Since I had a regular OB appointment the following day, I went to the lab right away hoping to have the results for my appointment.
So I went back to the doctor on Thursday. Oy vey. My urine had a small amount of protein in it, my first bp was 140/90 (second one later was 122/88), and my liver test came back even more elevated then it had been a week before in the hospital. My doctor said it wasn't high enough to worry yet but wanted me to have a bunch more blood tests done to figure out what's going on. Of course, she also asked me a bunch of questions about whether I was experiencing certain symptoms to try to narrow it down. Problem is, I'm not. No jaundice, no itching, no abdominal pain, etc, etc. I went the next day for the lab work since I had to fast for it and they did a CBC workup, bile acid test, bilirubin, hepatitis, IgG, you name it.
I have to go back to the doctor tomorrow for a follow up so I'm hoping the lab works quickly and they'll have the results in by then because I've heard these tests can take 3-5 days. I don't like not knowing what's going on with my body!
29 weeks today. The babies are still measuring a week or two ahead at an estimated 3 lbs each or so. I'd like to keep them in until at least 32 weeks but frankly, at this point, I would not be disappointed if they make their debut soon after that. This has been one hell of a pregnancy and I'm ready for it to be over with.
