Thirty Weeks and Gestational Diabetes

April 6, 2005

I have to see my OB/GYN weekly now because of the gestational diabetes. We are hooked up to a monitor which checks Satchel's heart rate, movements as well as uterine contractions. As soon as the nurse attaches the sensors Satchel starts squirming and the sensors begin to bob up and down.



Jen Dewan, the sonographer at my office, took the above 3d still of Satchel at 30 wks of gestation as well as a 4d movie. Satchel smiled several times in utero and we have the film to prove it! When I get a chance I will try to record a strip digitally and upload it to the journal.
