I personally think it's overkill since my diabetes is essentially in remission (woke up today to a fasting in the 80s, drank a MILKSHAKE from Chick-fil-A, and had a 2-hour post-prandial reading of 82!), but I can't say I mind all the monitoring.
Everything went well with my appointment, and they took the culture of the group B strep test. She asked if I wanted her to do a cervical check since, ya know, I was already there with my pants off! I immediately said no, and she asked why the quick response, and I explained that I Don't want ANY unnecessary poking or prodding that could even remotely potentially help speed things along because I Want him to STAY in there, preferably even a week or so PAST My due date. She laghed at me and said she's never had a patient WANT to go late before!
Also, when she told me that my urine was clean and everything looked good, I asked her to please try to find something wrong with me :P I am SO TIRED of working (uncomfortable, having a very hard time concentrating, needing naps in the afternoons, etc.), but I can't afford to take unpaid time off right now, so I've ben planning to work up until I go into labor. She said she will write me out of work if my diastolic blood pressure gets any higher (was 89 yesterday). Now, I don't want any serious medical issues, but I'm not gonna lie - I am hoping it goes up just that extra point or two by next week (and then it can just stop increasing), just enough for me to have a medical reason to start my short term diasbility early!

Aw, Jill- You have your hands full. Take the stairs directly before your appointment an eat something salty I hope your closing goes more smoothly from here on out! I can't believe you're already in the home stretch!!!
I researched nitrates, it's the cooking that changes nitrates to the HCA (which are more dangerous). Since I only threw pepperoni on at the end (and most went directly into my mouth), I will worry about it less
Kaykaykayla: sorry to hear about your PIH and GDM. At least it's more motivational to VLC!
