One more round of pre-natal classes started during week 29, I started to come to terms with the baby at the end of this pregnancy, and by week 30 I got the good news that there was no gestational diabetes!

Highlights of week 29:

  • In addition to pre-natal classes, I started Physio classes this week. It was a shorter series of smaller sized classes where we focused more on the physical aspects of pregnancy, labor and delivery.
  • I had to shop for some maternity dresses this week so I would be prepared for some upcoming events.

Highlights of week 30:

  • There was something about this stage where it really started to hit me: there’s going to be a baby at the end of all this! I got so wrapped up in the pregnancy part – learning about and managing it, that I didn’t let myself jump to far ahead to the BABY part… until around this week.
  • I kept up with regular as well as pregnancy yoga classes and was feeling good. No doubt things were harder and range of motion decreased, but I was hanging in there.
  • As a cruel joke, I got to spend Thanksgiving morning (not a holiday here) fasting and taking the glucose test. I was thrilled when I didn’t get a call by the end of the day, which meant that the test was fine and all was well!
