Glucose Test challenge result

I went to see my obstetrician yesterday and she said that my results have come out to be normal. That's a big relief. I have been eating so much of sweets that I was worried that it will be high this time. But it all depends on how much insulin is produced in the body during pregnancy. In some women, because of the extra pressure on pancreas, it's not able to produce sufficient insulin and as a result it leads to high blood sugar. Women who are diagnosed with Gestational diabetes have to take extra care towards their diet and some might have to take a insulin injection. Thank God, I don't have it and now I can enjoy eating mangoes :)

Week 24 of pregnancy

Bub is growing steadily. Her body is filling out and taking up more room in the uterus (womb) but her skin is still thin and fragile. 

For all you know, baby may also be developing a weakness for sweets! Her tastebuds are forming, and, believe it or not, acquiring a sweet tooth is all part of it. The other big milestone your baby reaches is that she may now survive, with specialist care, if she is born prematurely.

In last one week, Braxton Hicks contractions have increased specially during the night time. Ponyo/Enyo kicks have become more prominent. I remember, during aarav's time i felt the first butterfly kick on 22nd november 2009 and this time I have been feeling them since week 12 only. 16 weeks more to go. During Aarav's time , I was unable to eat any sweets but this time I actually get the craving to eat sweet along with spicy things. No wonder, they say that every bub is unique :)

I will be undergoing glucose test some time this week. Overall, this week has been very tiring and exhausting.
