26 weeks of pregnancy.

On Saturday, Glucose tolerance test GCT was done of 26 weeks pregnancy. It came out to be 140.
It should be less than 140. When it was shown to the doctor, She advised further testing to confirm whether it is gestational diabetes or not.

According to the doctor, if it comes out high even on the further test, then my wife needs to take medicine for gestational diabetes. But I am sure, on the upcoming test, it will be normal. I don't know why I am feeling that. Testing will be done on coming Wednesday. She needs to take a leave from her school I guess. One on fasting and then others after a meal of 1 hr, 2 hrs, and 3 hrs consequently, and have to report to the doctor.

On examination, Baby is moving normally. Weight seems not increased than before at 65kg. When she measured on the digital meter, it has shown little increase on points like 65.46 , when we have weighed some weeks ago.

Second dose of TT injection has been given today morning on the visit to the doctor. All other Tabs like Iron, calcium are continued.

It was a thrust of pain during TT injection for the first time to her. Need to see this time. Nurse told it will be some pain and will go away in 2 days, and nothing to worry about.

She thought it was stress that is creating downfall towards improvements like weight gain. Weight needs to be gained for healthiness of the baby.
