today i met with the high-risk doctor who went over my blood sugar numbers and did an ultrasound to measure baby Caitlin. good news==my numbers are doing well thanks to the new diet (plus the oral meds i'm on)! no insulin needed (at least until i go back in 2wks and they'll check again!) i did lose 6 pounds this week. they were a little concerned but figured that it was just adapting to the new diet. the ultrasound went fine, Caitlin is doing well and is weighing in at 2.5lbs which is good for her at this point in time. the images this time compared to last time were quite m0re detailed..esp in her face. it was so neat! so overall everything looks good.
EXCEPT..as i was leaving that doctor my other dr. called with the results of the FFN test from yesterday. it came back positive.
so, since its a 50-50 chance of preterm labor there are some things i have to do...monitor the cramps...if they start coming rapidly than i am to call her right away. no sex for 2 weeks. and i have to take it easy and cut my hours back at work. (which is ironic, cause i arranged with my boss last week to do just that and this week i'm starting to work 3 days instead of 5....i just knew my body was telling me something! the dr. said 3 days is ok for now.) i go back in 2 weeks to that dr. and they will do another FF test and see where it stands at that point.
please do keep me and Caitlin in your prayers. i'm 26 weeks now...too soon for her to make an appearance!! please pray that the test was a false positive. she needs to stay in there alot longer!!
