Victoria and I have begun taking a hypnobirthing class. It has some wonderful practices to bring a baby into this world peacefully and with a minimum of pain for the baby and mother. That is if the baby is not induced or C-sectioned...Which brings me to the down.
You have read in previous posts that the baby is big, very big. Victoria took a 1-hr. Glucose Tolerance test and the result was 155, which is borderline number where a 3-hour test is needed (less than 140 = no gestational diabetes, over 200 = definately gestational diabetes, in-between equals more testing). We are still waiting for the 3-hr test results, but the numbers on the baby size vs. her age as measured both by date of last period and by initial ultrasound point to gestational diabetes. Which means more monitoring of baby and Victoria, strict dieting for Victoria in addition to possible insulin shots and most likely early, induced labor or C-section. There go the lessons of the class!
In addition, gestational diabetes leads to a 50% chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life for mothers, and a higher risk of obesity and diabetes for the child. Poor kid is not getting a break! So we will write when more info comes...
In the meantime - look at Brianna's first dance recital videos...She is the mouse that appears first poking her head out on the left...
