GTT.

Today I had my Glucose Tollerence Test (GTT) and other 28 week blood work. The GTT is the only exam during the whole pregnancy that is so long and boring.
I couldnt eat or drink from 9pm last night so when it was all done and over I was starving! I arrive at the hospital for my 9am appointment, Get settled into my seat and the midwife/nuse takes my blood, then gives me a jug of Lucozade. The Lucozade had to be drank within 10-15 minutes of my blood being taken. Then came the boring bit - the two hour wait.
I took a book with me but still ended up reading from some out of date magazines. I also played on my phone but due to lack of signal I couldnt even get on facebook... two hours without facebook, Terrible! lol.
I ended up getting a little check over while I was there - Stomach is measuring right where it should be. For many women this isnt a big thing but for me, this is when we found out I had polyhydromniosis when I was pregnant with Mia. That for me was when my pregnancy started going downhill. I was already measuring far too ahead then I should. I already knew I wasnt as big (but, When you have people asking 'are you sure there is only one in there?' you kind of start doubting your self).
Still didnt get to hear babies heartbeat. It feels pretty disheartening to have gotten to nearly 29 weeks and have still not heard my baby's heart beat at any medical appointment. Thank goodness for home heartbeat monitors!

11 o'clock came around and she took my blood again, told me if I didnt hear anything tomorrow that everything is okay and they will see me at my next appointment at 34 weeks.
