Waiting on my Snack

While I'm waiting on my snack I figured I would post a quick update. I just had my blood sugar checked and it was 102- after dinner, which is great! Crossing my fingers this continues. I told Zed as soon as I have Wendy and we leave the hospital, we are finding a Cold Stone Creamery. I deserve a damn coffee lovers ice cream!

Higher Dose of Glyburide

Well ever since I started taking medicine for the gestational diabetes my blood sugar has been even higher. It really blows my mind that the day they checked my blood sugar and I was eating a normal diet, my blood sugar was under 120 after every meal- even though I had orange juice for breakfast and sweet tea and cherry cobbler for lunch. Now that I'm on this restricted diet it has gotten worse.. and it continuing to get worse with the Glyburide. One thing I am looking forward to after this pregnancy, chocolate and coke! And hopefully no more diabetes.

A Turn for the Worse

My day started off fine- but soon after going on the monitor for the second time today they realized my contractions were stronger and my uterus was much more irritable than usual. The doctor came in and decided to give me a shot of Terbutaline to stop the contractions and he upped my Procardia again. They're having to monitor my blood pressure because the last time I was on a higher dose of Procardia my blood pressure dropped to 80/30. So right now I'm not feeling too hot- I'm shaky and my pulse is racing from the shot and I'm starting to get a headache
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
