dr appt. 28 weeks

I just had my monthly check-up at the doctor today. I had gone and done my blood sugar test Friday morning before we left for Chelan and was hoping I passed since I heard the 3 hours test is miserable. Anyway I found out today that I didn't pass. :( My blood sugar was higher than they would like it to be so I have to go in tomorrow and take another test where I can't eat after midnight and I can't eat at all during the test. Something that takes 3-4 hours. Everyone I have talked to said it is absolutely awful. UGH. Also my labwork showed that I'm slightly anemic so I have to start on iron supplements. My weight is still good and right in the range I should be, so I'm happy about that. Also my blood pressure was good at this appt (and has been every time I check it at home). I am measuring big though, I guess more like 31 weeks so I'm nervous about having a huge baby! I am going to get an ultrasound at 32 weeks so they can kind of guess how big she will be. So I guess it wasn't a great appointment but it could have been worse. She said if I fail the 3 hour glucose test I will have to go on a modified diabetic diet and start taking my blood sugar with a glucometer. I'm hoping I don't fail that one, but I'm not getting my hopes up either. She wants my blood sugar around 135 and mine was somewhere in the 150's- so not good! I think I am going to try and research and see what I should and shouldn't be eating and just try to start eating that way anyway. Also my appointments are going to be every 2 weeks for the next 4 appointments now. I can't believe I'm already in the 3rd trimester! I still don't feel ready for this baby, I need to get a move on!

Oh and here is what the glucose tests are tesing for:

What is gestational diabetes?
This is a type of diabetes that some women develop during pregnancy. Between 2 and 7 percent of expectant mothers develop this condition, making it one of the most common health problems of pregnancy.When you eat, your digestive system breaks most of your food down into a type of sugar called glucose. The glucose enters your bloodstream and then — with the help of insulin, a hormone made by your pancreas — provides fuel for the cells of your body. Like the type 1 and type 2 diabetes you can get when you're not pregnant, gestational diabetes causes the glucose to stay in your blood instead of moving into your cells and getting converted to energy. Why does this sometimes happen when you're pregnant?During pregnancy, your hormones make it tougher for your body to use insulin, so your pancreas needs to produce more of it. For most moms-to be, this isn't a problem: As your need for insulin increases, your pancreas dutifully secretes more of it. But when a woman's pancreas can't keep up with the insulin demand and her blood glucose levels get too high, the result is gestational diabetes.Most women with gestational diabetes don't remain diabetic once the baby is born. Once you've had it, though, you're at higher risk for getting it again during a future pregnancy and for becoming diabetic later in life.
