Did I really just type that title? Kind of feels so weird because it’s been such a huge part of my dedication to this pregnancy.
As most of you know I had to take the 1 hour glucose test as well as the 3 hr at 8-10 weeks this pregnancy as I had GDM with my daughter. I failed the first this time but passed the second test.
As I head into the third trimester protocol calls for checking again as it can come back as the placenta works even harder as baby finishes growing.
This 3rd time tho instead of taking the glucose drink they allowed me to just check my sugars 4x a day at home for 2 solid weeks. I was so grateful as this is something I’ve intermittently done already the last 6 months for my own personal assurance.
I only had 2 borderline high fasting numbers but otherwise everything looked great! I’m so beyond relieved. This is literally something I’ve been working towards for 2 years now.
I’m so thankful. God is so good and faithful. And I truly believe all of the hard work and effort has paid off.
I am continuing to pray for a healthy 3rd trimester as I head into week 28+. It’s been such a ride mentally, but my body feels stronger this pregnancy than ever before.
All glory to God,
Xoxo, Shantel
