Scanning, scanning and more scanning....

Never know that so many scanning needed to be done. scan for diabetes, then scan for down syndrome, then next month got to scan for structural defect... and seriously, I wonder, what are all these for?

hmm.... not so good. From the OGTT result, I had gestation diabetes. and what's that mean? pregnancy diabetes.... so, again, doctor said, no sugar, less rice, less noddle, less bread.... and so on... and come to think about it, am I that serious? normal blood test shows nothing happened. It was the OGTT test that shows this result. I m having PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian syndrome), which lead to a higher chance of getting diabetes type II. hence, a OGTT is needed. and so? my normal diet had already contain very very less sugar. I am one who take coffee without sugar...

I had to go through a blood sugar test every time I visit the doctor. no no no... that's poking stuff is pain! hey! not those normal blood sampling, is those I hate the most! poke at the tip of my poor finger for the blood sample. (that one really hurts!) at first, iI was quite worried bout this diabetes thing, but after few samples taken and each time, the result was good (as my blood sugar was normal!!!) ... so, the conclusion is that, i am just NOT capable of digesting that bottle of sugar solution in that OGTT test. arggg.....

But again, the doctor warned me, watch out for my sugar intake... >.< the worst was not michelin size baby, but worst scenario is that if too much sugar, might cause the sudden death of the baby. scary.... to monitor this blood sugar thing... it is a NIGHT MARE!!!! doctor recommended that I purchase one small monitoring machine, and check my blood sugar (by poking my finger!!!! arggggg!) 7 times a day!!!!!! OMG! poking my own finger seven times a day!?! he must be kidding. (but no wor, he was so serious.... three meal, each time before and after meal, total of 6, and last one before i go to bed... ) crazy ah! And if the sugar level high, I may need insulin injection daily.... gosh!

I am still thinking, should i buy that little monitoring machine? the machine was not expensive, but the poking part was just scary. hey! i am only three months pregnant, do i have to torture myself by poking my own finger 7 times a day for the next 7 months!?! please... no.....
