Pregnancy: 23rd week

Week 23
March 20 - 26

This week, I go in for my 24 week checkup. I'm kinda excited, but kinda not, because the further along I get, the more not-too-fun procedures start happening. The first big thing is that I'll have a glucose test in week 28. I hope I can just skip right to the 3 hour one, because with my PCOS, I have a feeling I'll fail the 1 hour one, even while on metformin.

*A few days later*
My appointment went quickly, like usual, which is good. The doctor listened to the heart beat, and I'm happy to report that it's still racing along at 170 BPM. My tummy is measuring right on track, and she's happy that the baby is active. That's about it. Oh, and no, I can't just skip to the 3-hour glucose test. I could if I were already diabetic (why they have you test for GD when you already have diabetes is a mystery), but I'm not, so I have to do the 1-hour. Blah.

Appointment aside, it's been an uneventful week. You won't find me complaining. Yeah, I still get up a lot in the middle of the night, and I still have a hard time moving most days. But I'm just chalking it up as normal now.
