news on being to big

Today we went and got the ultrasound to see why I am too big. It didn't go quite as I had hoped. I do have to much fluid and her abdomen is larger than it is suppose to be. The doctor that came in to talk to us about this told me that he thinks that I might have gestational diabetes. I already tested for it and my doctor told me that I wasn't even close to having it. So I am a little confused. I have to take the test again but the test is a little more elaborate this time. The doctor said that because there is so much fluid the uterus thinks that I am farther along than I really am so I could go into labor early. The Doctor that talked with us just pretty much told me all the bad things and all the bad things that could happen but didn't tell me anything good and didn't tell me anything that would answer any of the questions that I might have to make me feel at least a little better about the whole thing.

On a lighter note we did get some really good pictures of her. They did a 3D ultrasound for us and it turned out so good. It was really fun to get an idea as to what she might look like. I think that she has my nose and the rest is really a toss up. What do you think?
The top picture you can really see her face, the second picture shows her with a little grin. I am a little partial but I think she is super cute!

I think she's super cute too and I have to say that it's probably the very best 3D picture I have yet to see! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get much re-assurance from the doctor. You can always get a second opinion. Keep us posted!

I agree -- cutie! Both pregnancies I wished for a 3D ultrasound. Maybe next time. That is rough, though. They seem to like preparing you for the worst. When the doctors thought I might have placenta privia, all I heard was bad, bad, bad. But the labor was just fine and Claire is just fine. But I know that doesn't help nerves beforehand! Good luck. I'll be thinking of you.

Don't you hate it when doctors only tell you the bad and not the good? I hated it when I was pregnant with Bryanna it made me stress out a lot and worry all the time. I hope that things get better for you. I agree on the ultrasound she is too cute and that is a really good clear picture. She is going to be a heartbreaker.
