I have another appt in 3 weeks then i go every 2 WOW! anyway Gabby's heartbeat was 150 good and strong, i measured at 30 weeks, wow. i was happy about that. I gained another 4 lbs and she was kicking up a storm today. they did my glucose and cultures test, hiv again! my glucose was normal so i didnt have to do the three hour one thank god, but i was not happy when they pricked my finger today Sad never had that done before it sure did hurt and im not scared of needles. So i had another good appt today thank God.

lol they test for everything but your kitchen sink, I swear...

Glad everything's well!!

I'm the same way with the finger prick. I flipped out and asked if they could just take it from my arm instead, lol. NO. Jerks...

Gabby not like that heartbeat either? lol, it takes my doctor FOREVER to find the heartbeat each time because as soon as it goes on my stomach, baby starts kicking it, lol.

Be glad you didn't have to do the 3 hour test, they SUCK. Isn't pregnancy fun?!? Grr.

yea i see they do. i don't mind the test i just want them done and over with. Gabby moves so fast lol they catch it then she moves lol but at first i think they picked up the placenta and not her but 150 was pretty good! i am glad that i didnt have to do the three hour test! but i did everything they told me to do before i went so i was not to worried about that.

I'm glad your glucose test went well. I had mine this past week too and it didn't go so well. I don't know the results yet but they drew blood twice out of the same arm and the second draw must've hit a sensitive spot because it swelled up in a huge, painful knot! I ran back inside and asked if it was normal and she said, "Just keep pressure on it for half an hour." So she wrapped it up tight and I didn't look at it again for at least an hour. It was gross! Now it's just a huge bruise. Consider yourself lucky Very

EEK! They switched arms with me the first time, and the second one did the same thing. I had a bruise for a month, no joke. It HURT! Oh, and if you get the 3 hour test, they usually use a smaller needle. But they have to poke you FIVE times, and that's if they get it in each time. I hope it comes back normal!
