Today I went to my doctor appointment and I had to take the glucose test. I got to choose the flavor and I picked orange after a recommendation from the nurse. It was ok but not something I would want to sit down and drink everyday. I had to down it quickly because sipping it would be way worse. I had to wait an hour after drinking the stuff to have my blood drawn.
For those that do not know, the glucose test is done to check for gestational diabates. This is diabates that just occurs in pregnancy and goes away after the birth. They make the pregnant woman drink a sugary syrup kind of drink and than they draw blood to check the blood sugar levels. I will not get results for a couple of days but I am hoping that I pass and do not have to go back for a three hour test that would be tiring.
In somewhat bad news, I found out today that my doctor's wife is having a baby. She is due the same month that I am and he will be off the first couple of weeks of April. He will also be only working half days for the month so he will not be delivering babies. It sucks but I am trying to see this as a positive thing.
I can see him up till the end of March so I have to try to figure out what is best at this point. I know that more than likely even if he wasn't going on leave he may have not been the doctor delivering our little girl. I will be seeing another doctor in the office for my last three appointments so I have to decide is that going to really bother me to see another doctor or do I switch now?
I have been seeing this doctor for over 5 years and I have a good relationship with him but I am just not sure what to do.
