37-week OB update (pg ment)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

There is nothing much to report, but I do have a question. The baby's

vertex yet, to the relief of the OB, who says a c-section with a transverse

baby demands a classical incision. I told him that I was done with this one

anyhow, although if I hemorrhaged, I wanted him to do what he could to save

my crappy old uterus. I want to keep it alive and well as a souvenir of all

the trouble and expense--my little pear-shaped money pit.

The head is beginning to engage, and I have been having some prelabor stuff

going on for the past week: menstrual-type cramping, hiccoughs felt way down

low, painful contrax, etc. We talked about Monday's amnio and Tuesday's

section a little bit.

The new wrinkle is that I spilled a bit of glucose in my urine--the first

time that has happened. He asked what I had for breakfast (Ensure--I wasn't

hungry), and thought that it could have been the culprit. Probably all that

pie yesterday, too. Who knows?

My question: is it common to spill sugar from time to time and not be

teetering on the edge of GD?

TIA.
