My OB appt went well. I now weigh more than I did when I delivered Hadley at 34 weeks. They told me insulin can make you gain more weight, and I believe them now. The only thing I don't like about it is the thought of having more to lose when it is all over.
Doc said she wants to deliver me herself. She is going to the Bahamas right around my due date, so if I haven't delivered by Nov 14th (38 weeks) they will do an amniocentesis and check baby's lung development. If things look favorable, they will schedule a c-section. Sounds okay to me. We are going to go for a VBAC if baby flips and I go into labor on my own. They will not induce me because of the previous c-section and the chance of rupture. I have a feeling it will be c-section, but you never can predict anything about childbirth. I found that out the first time around.
She put me on Zantac for my heartburn problems. I guess it is pretty common for pregnant women to need meds for that. It sure has been helping. She said to let her know if the rash on my hands comes back.
I had my rhogam shot at the appt, and the first of 2 steroid injections to develop baby's lungs in case of an early delivery. I had the 2nd steroid injection today. Not too painful, but I woke up this morning with a red face and chest. I felt flushed and warm - kind of like sunburn. I called and a nurse told me to take Benadryl for it. That helped.
I forgot to mention my 2 low blood sugar incidents on Fri and Sat. It was 43 both days at mid-morning. I started to get sweaty and shaky and dizzy on Fri and on Sat I was sweaty and starving. I was able to self treat them and I never passed out or anything, but it is scary and very unpleasant to go through.
The steroids have been making my blood sugars significantly higher than usual. They warned me that would happen, and they are just leaving my insulin doses for now.
No real news about our pending move. Hope to have a more definitive answer this week.
