Thanks guys. I got a call from the specialist's office this morning and got that appointment set up...so I guess they did follow up after I left on Friday. That's the one bit of good news today.

Bad news is that I failed the glucose screening test and now have to go for the 3 hour glucose tolerance test to test for gestational diabetes. The biggest concern I have with that is that IF I have it then I am much more likely to need a C-section which I was hoping to avoid. But it will be what it will be. Unfortunately I can't actually SCHEDULE the 3 hour test...I have to wait for the doctor to call me back (and hope I actually answer the phone) and THEN we can get it scheduled because the front desk staff can't do that. I've been waiting for that call back since 9am...but that too will be what it will be.

And I'm anemic too...found that out from this test on Friday. So now I have to get iron supplements to take in addition to my prenatal vitamins. May explain why I have been so TIRED lately (I just thought that was normal with pregnancy).

Good times all around...it's all going to be fine...I just have a new more things to be careful about is all...and they're all normal pregnancy things that have nothing to do with the RSD. I'm primarily concerned about the gestational diabetes (which I may not even have) because I was hoping for a natural birth because there haven't been any reports of spread from that but there have been from C-sections. Oh well...I will deal with all that when it comes. That's why I'm seeing the specialist, right?
