Pregnancy Update

Just got home from my antenatal appointment were i had to do my glucose test..
I went in early so i didn't have to wait after my appointment to have the test done as i had to wait an hour to have my BSL checked, my blood pressure is 140/80 which is down from the weekend it was back up to 140/90 and i had very swollen feet and hands, there was also 4+ protein in my urine so i had to have bloods taken which showed low platelet count so from Saturdays visit to the hospital I then had to go back Sunday for more bloods to be taken, had to do a 24hour urine collection for it to be tested and i had to have a renal ultrasound on my kidneys on Monday all before today's appointment. The blood test on Sunday said the platelets had increased which the doctor as happy about. So continuing on with today's appointment the doctor said that my fundal height is 27cm which works out to 27weeks, kidneys and bladder were normal there was protein in my 24hour collection but today it had gone from 4+ to 1+, swelling has almost completely gone, my sugar level after the sugar drink was 6.5 so no gestational diabetes here which is great, need to have my blood pressure checked in between hospital visits and i have my 28week ultrasound next Tuesday at 9am

Hey Rachel,
My mom told me about the complications you have been having and will be induced early at the beginning of the New Year. Just want to let you know, we'll be praying everything goes well with a healthy baby! That's cool that we're both having boys!

Well, I just thought I'd say hi, I have been keeping up on your blog even though I've failed to comment. :) We've been busy with our new church and move and I haven't had a lot of time (as you can see from my page) to post and comment.

I like your Packers stuff on the sidebar. They are our team!
