My blood pressure was 144/70.  I gained 3 pounds since August 18.  My sugar levels are still doing ok.  A growth scan was not performed at this visit.  The baby’s heart rate was 150 bpm.  The doctor has pretty much decided I should deliver by c-section.  She will probably do it just before the baby reaches 9 lbs.  I haven’t started to dilate yet.

My blood pressure was 120/70.  I have lost 2 pounds since July 28.  I have gained a total of 23 pounds since my first visit.  My doctor was very pleased with my sugar levels.  They have been within the range she has set for me, even though the levels have been bouncing all around the range.  The sonogram showed that the baby was approximately 6 lbs. 6 oz.  The baby’s heart rate was 150 bpm.  The doctor cautioned me again about the possibility of a c-section.  I will be seeing her for weekly appointments.  She will make a decision regarding the c-section in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

I felt like my sugar levels weren’t stabilizing like the doctor wanted them to, so I took my record book over to her office for her to look over.  She still feels they are okay, but she has increased my insulin dose by 2 units.  I am having difficulty injecting the insulin.  It seems to take longer and longer each morning for me to work up the courage to insert the syringe in my leg.  I have to admit this is one of my more emotional (or hormonal?) moments, and is really not a good start to the day.
