Due Date Club April 2004:Time to check your health
2004-01-27
Name: sharmila



Hi girls
From all the messages, looks like everyone is doing fine and that is great news. But I also want you'll to watch your blood sugar and hb count as the last trimester is likely to cause some changes. I was fine all along and suddenly my hbc has dropped form 13.5 to 10.5. Close to being aneamic. So doc has asked me take care of this and increase my intake fo iron rich foods. My bloodsugar is also gone up to 140 mg which is just on the cutoff line and I have take the 3 hour test for which I will get the result tomorrow. So just be precautious. Though we feel fit we do not know what is happening inside. Otherwise the baby is fine and active. And dont forget to check you AFI level.

Aditi: My AFI level has gone upto 9 from 8 cm. but doc says it is still low for 29 weeks. Whereas you say that 6.3 is okay. Anyway I have another non stress test tomorrow and hope there is improvement. Just keep drinking a lot of water. The doc says that I have to be regulary monitored for this since if the level is low once, then it can tend to get low again. Please check with your doc too. The net says that 7 to 25 is okay.....
Hope all of you taking good care of yourselves as baby's fitness depends on our fitness.....Best of Luck!

Hai sharmila,

Dont worry about the 3 hour test. Even my blood sugar was 138mg so i had to take the 3 hour test. In the 3 hour test it came out that i didnt have gestation diabetes as only my 2 hour reading came out high. My doctor has fixed an appointment with a dietician to be on the safer side. So its always better to keep an eye on the blood sugar level. Hope everything works out well for u and let us know ur results..
take care,
priya
