I decided to wait it out and call the doctor today, knowing full well that when I woke up this morning the pain would be gone...and of course, it was. I called anyway and they appear to think all is fine. I was told its not uncommon at the stage I am in pregnancy for the baby to move into a new position and camp out for a while - and for me to feel discomfort or even pain as a result of this new position. I was told that if I had it again, it got worse, or had any other symptoms that I should come in.
Shortly after I spoke with the doctor I got a message from my doctor's office, saying to call them back "but it was not an emergency". Of course, this made me worried. I called back and found out that they had my bloodwork back from my glucose screening test ... and that I passed! YAY! That was the best news I have gotten in a while! If I eventually found that I had gestational diabetes it means I would have had to give up foods that contain a lot of simple sugar, such as cake, cookies, candy or ice cream. Seriously, how could I live like that???? Speaking of cookies ... I think I am going to have to eat a few to reward myself for my excellent test-taking abilities.
