29 weeks Good visit with Nurse Midwife

Well this morning I had my glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes. It will be several days at least before I get the results, but I'm not too concerned that I have it although I realize that sometimes people with no risk factors get it anyway. But after I drank the orange sugar drink and was waiting the hour before having my blood drawn I got to have my prenatal visit with the newest Nurse Midwife at Lonestar. She was great! I had heard great things about her and I definitely liked her. She was a labor and delivery nurse for 10 years before studying the 3 years to become a nurse midwife and now here she is! I asked her about all of my concerns with whether running while pregnant was going to cause extra damage to my pelvic floor or uterine ligaments. She didn't think so although she did say to listen to my body of course. She explained that pelvic floor problems are often due to genetics (hence why plenty of women who do not run while pregnant still end up with problems, it simply happens due to pregnancy and a genetic predisposition for it). So anyway I am happy to have my anxieties relieved! I can keep running, although I do probably need to scale back and slow down, no more 5k races they make me too excited and then I run faster than I probably should and hurt myself. 
I was also proud of myself because I only gained 3 pounds since my last visit 5 and a half weeks ago, but my uterus height is 28 inches which is about where it should be now! Yay! 
I also asked her to check baby's position and  he is head down, woohoo, with basically all of his body resting on the right side of my uterus. This is nice to know because when I run I do feel some weird pain in my right abdomen, I have had this for a while now, since about 23 weeks actually and it's nice to finally understand why. It's because his little body is just sitting there in my right side, guess he likes that spot, silly little dude!
