baby feets

We scored a sonogram from our ob/gyn visit this morning. Baby feets!

There have been only minor complications so far.

First, our purpose for the visit was that the placenta was low-lying a few weeks back. It’s since corrected itself.

Second, Eilene has gestational diabetes. She has begun seeing a dietician, and is on a food plan to control blood sugar through diet. The two possible results are that a) the baby will be larger than normal at birth, in which case they may induce early, and b) the baby will be at risk when older of developing type 2 diabetes. It’s not alarming yet as the baby is a normal size currently, her glucose tolerance test results were only mildly and not insanely off kilter, and it was caught early enough that diet regulation may prove to be successful.

Lastly, there was also a very slight consistent positive for protein in her urine. Eilene got to pee in a jug for 24 hours for a full test, but it needs to be watched because it’s an early sign of preeclampsia.
