So everything I was told a few weeks ago by the Physician's assistant was wrong. She had me in a total panic about my weight gain and of course Ryan's. She said that I had glucose in my pee so that means that I have gestational diabetes. Two days later, I saw my real Dr. and she enlightened me. Thank goodness!
There is NO way to tell how big (just how long he will be based on bone measurements) he is especially when I have 10 weeks to go. The bulk of his weight will be in the last 4 weeks (about a pound a week for him they say) so his weight now is no determination of what he will be at birth. She said I was measuring big and my Dr. said I was just perfect. (I love my Dr.) My weight is good too (I had gained double the amount by this time with Alyssa so I have to agree that I am doing good. ;) ) and interestinly enough there is always glucose in my pee so that does not mean I have gestational diabetes. In fact, I am 18 points lower than I was with Alyssa. WAHOO! This is exciting news and I was so afraid that I was going to have it.
All in all, the appt went well and I am now down to seeing her every 3 weeks for 2 appts and then 2 weeks and then weekly for the last two appts.
