Week 26 Dr. Appt.

And yet another doctor's appt. Between me and Zac, it feels like all I do is go to the doctor! This was to see my OBGYN and glucose (gestational diabetes) testing. Dr. Vandenboom said I looked good. We went over the signs of preterm labor again: any spotting/bleeding, cramping, contractions of more than 4 in an hour. I go back in 2 weeks. Luckily I was able to schedule it on Monday the 16th, I'm off work for the holiday, President's Day. I see the specialist at 8:30am and Vandenboom at 3:30pm. Not what I wanted to do on my day off, but at least I won't have to miss work! He'll see me again at 30 weeks, then weekly after that. Wow, I cannot believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by. He said if I make it to 37-38 weeks, then they'll induce me. I hope I make it that long. I don't want the girls on breathing tubes and have to leave them at the hospital. I know with technology these days, they'll be fine, it's still scary though. Yesterday, the specialist said the girls were in the head down position. They better not get too comfy, they have plenty of time for that! The doc said as long as they're head down, I can deliver vaginally. If one's breech, then a C-Section will take place. I'm preparing myself for a C-Section... I'm hanging in there. Just getting bigger and more tired!
