I hope all turns out well. Wouldn't it be great to meet Annika.

Yes, it would be wonderful. I'm really hoping they decide to just do it tonight since I haven't eaten since 10am. That would be such a relief! I really, really, really want to get it over with.

Ok guys, this will likely be my last update until we're home from the hospital Sunday or Monday. Everything went well at the NST today, but they still are pushing for a c-section. I'm okay with that at this point. I have a c-section scheduled for 2pm tomorrow afternoon. I'm very excited. I'm very ready to get this whole thing over with. They're going to continue checking me for progress up until I'm prepped for surgery, so hopefully something will happen between now and then. As of now, nothing's changed. I am, however, having regular contractions at this point, so we'll see.

My mom took Tori for the night and she's going to keep her until tomorrow night so I'll be able to relax here for my last evening. I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow. Its going to feel so good to be well rested for this baby. Last time I was so exhausted from being induced that I didn't get to enjoy very much of the first few hours. This time I'll at least have had a good night's sleep.

I'm sad that I wasn't able to go through with the vbac, but I'm not devastated or anything. At this point a c-section feels right to me. I would have had the choice to wait a few more days, but I just didn't want to anymore. I will be very relieved when this is all over with and we have our little Annika in our arms.

Oh Angie--how exciting! I'm glad you're ok with everything, and at this time tomorrow, the new little one will be here :D

Take care, get a good night's sleep and drink in every minute. I'll be sending positive "baby energy" your way :)

Angie,

I'm glad that you are ok with the idea of having another C-section, I know that it is healthier for you with everything that is going on, and Im sure that everything will resolve after the baby is here even if it will take a few days for the swelling to go down. Working here at the hospital and see a lot of women with very swollen feet and legs but they feel so much better.

(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) to you and the baby everything will go smoothly

Glad the non-stress test went well and everything looks good.

It will be nice for you to have a good night's rest or at least some relaxation. I hope your contractions progress for you, otherwise I'll be thinking of you and holding little Annika after your section.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?
    • Scott Adams
      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:    
    • Scott Adams
      So if the normal range for your tests is below 15.0 U/mL, and your results are 120.9 U/mL HIGH, it definitely looks like you could have celiac disease. Your doctor may want to schedule an endoscopy to confirm this, but with such high results it is also possible that the diagnosis might be made on your blood test results alone (more info on that is below). This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.  In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:
