Went for another routine check-up yesterday on the baby and the week before went for a glucose test (MGTT) to measure glucose level in the blood. Found out that my glucose level is a bit high (normal is 6.8 but mine was 9.2). Hence yesterday the gynea has given me a total band on sweet things!!! So i can't eat all the good cakes that TTB is making.. no chocs.. and a few sweet fruits also have to be avoided. The high glucose level is an indication of possible gestational diabetes, which is quite common for a lot of pregnant women. Only happens during pregnancy.
So.. i'm also been put under glucose monitoring, have to get the equipment to do this and poke my fingers for 8 times a week! 2 days a week and 4 times per day to measure glucose level. Also have to get a note book to jot down what i eat every meals. Sigh.. quite troublesome.. but for the baby health. No choice lor.... luckily after pregnancy, i can be back to normal. Still should watch out for not eating too much sweet things because there is a risk of getting diabetes. YIAKS!
On a happier note =D the baby is now twice the size from last scan (3 weeks ago), she is now 1kg. Normal growth and everything is normal. Oh.. and yes.. confirm is a she. HEE.. i can go on my shopping spree for cute dresses now. CAN'T WAIT!! Next also need to think of names.. Oh.. and yesterday when the dr. scan the baby, she was doing a serious yoga position in the stomach! Her legs are bent all the way to the head! As if she is sucking her toes. Wow.. such flexibility!
