Last GD appointment!! (week 39+)

Today was my last trip to Maternal Fetal Medicine... hooray!! These appointments drove me nuts and I am so tired of recording everything I eat, so I am very glad to be officially discharged from the GD clinic (of course, still need to monitor blood sugar until BBH gets here). Blood pressure was good, got the stamp of approval from the endocrinologist, and met with the GD nurse to discuss postpartum stuff. Nothing that I didn't already know... GD should go away after the placenta is delivered... I'm scheduled for a glucose test in several weeks to be sure.... have to get checked for diabetes annually.... need to get checked early for GD in any future pregnancies... have to stay active and healthy to avoid regular diabetes. Got it, now let me get out of here!! Now I should just have two more OB appointments before the 15th rolls around. Here's hoping the time goes by quickly!
