Had a scare today

So I thought we would go out, any where. I just wanted to get the kids out of the house for a while. So we decided to go eat and as I am driving, I started to get what I thought were braxton hicks contractions, until a few of them were a little painful and I had to breath through them. We get to the resaurant and they kind of stopped, I just felt pressure. So we eat and everything and then leave. Daniel wanted to get a new cell phone, so we headed back home to get his old one and then head to Best Buy. While driving the contractions start back up and again a few I had to breath through. We get to Best Buy and start looking at the phones, when I got a contraction that made me double over and have to hold onto the counter and breath through.

Daniel asked if I was ok and if we needed to go, I said no, I just need to go to the bathroom. So when the contraction ends I head for the bathroom, Daniel said he was coming with me. I get another contracton, but it's not painful, then right before I get to the bathroom, I get another one and I am doubled over again. I breath through it and when it finally ends I go to the bathroom. I had a couple more after that, but then I stopped.

If I had one more that doubled me over I was going to call my OB and head to the hospital. I think I have been under too much stress lately and it could be causing them. I will see how the rest of the weekend goes and call my OB on Monday to let her know what happened.

It did not help having the baby on my bladder either. I don't know why but I keep getting a feeling this baby might come early. I hope not, but we will see how it goes.

Dec 1st

Well I went to see my Endo on Nov. 19th. My A1c is still at 5.1, so we are doing good there. He was concerned with me having too many lows after fasting. He said he can handle the between 65-70, but he did not like the 50-47 ones, so he lowered my overnight doses and it does not seem to be doing much. They are mostly in the low 60's (65-60). Although this morning it was at 140, not sure if it was due to what I ate before bed, but I was at 146 1 hour after I ate a snack, so it should have been fine and I did do a correction bolus for it.

I will have to keep an eye on it.

Today I go to my high risk OB for an Echo ultrasound and see how Sofia's heart is doing. She is pretty active and man does she really love my bladder. I guess she thinks it's her own personal pillows to burel into and trampolin. All I can say is it's NOT fun for me at all.

I am 3 weeks away from hitting my 28th week of pregnacy. I know a lot of women who notice their blood sugar becoming more uncontrollable at this time, due to the placenta producing a hormone which makes our body more insulin resisant. I also know that this is around the time when the placenta could start to break down and fail.

Just when you think there is a moment of relief and you can relax, becasue you have made it through the stressful part of the risk for miscarriage and the development of the baby, now you have to worry about whether or not your placenta will be be healthy enough to make it though to the end or if it will start to die and fall apart before your close to your due date. My Age does not help much in the factor either. Even though I still feel like I am in my late 20's, I am not and my body knows it.

So onward and upward to new hights and new adventures in the world of Life with diabetes.
