33 Weeks & 5 Days Pregnant

Front On

Side On

From behind - not looking pregnant at all (just a little chubby - even though I have lost weight!).

All is going well, there is light at the end of the tunnell and in about 7 weeks time, it should all be over. Hopefully...... In Shallah! Still having some queasiness but not as much vomiting - which has been good.

We had an appointment with a new OBGYN at the hospital yesterday (we had to do this because I am having bub at a different hospital to where my normal OBGYN is, so I had to have an appointment to set up file at the American hospital.) All went fine, however my sugar levels tested high in the routine pee (urine) sample, so the Doctor wanted me to fast from midnight and have bloods taken again at 8am this morning....then have breakfast....sit around hospital for 2 hours, then have another blood test, to determine whether I have developed gestational diabetes (which can happen during pregnancy).
To cut a very long (and boring) story short, the hospital phoned me with the results this afternoon and all is fine with my sugar levels - so no gestational diabetes for me. All the other routine tests were also fine :)
Next time I won't eat Black Forest Cake before my Doctor's appointments :) This is what would have raised my levels. Silly me - I didn't even think!!! Cameron had a good laugh though, which was good because in the end, it turned out to be an expensive exercise, all for a slice of cake!
