GD test/ Ultrasound/ Allergic?

I took the Gestational Diabetes test today. I not so affectionately refer to it as the GD test, though.

The drink was not that bad. Just tasted like flat soda. But it made me feel sick.. well.. it actually did make me sick. But the kicker? It made me want to crash, then it made me jittery, then it made me actually fall asleep while waiting for the OB... and now I feel extremely tired.

But! I have gained 4 lbs... and around 33 weeks, he's going to schedule another ultrasound for me! They didn't get all the measurements they needed, and they want to do another. But the tech. did'nt seem all that worried about it... I think she's just being nice to us. *lol* Maybe the baby will cooperate this time? *lol*

Ok. I'm going to bed now. I need sweet, glorious sleep!

Also: I don't know if anyone would know what this is, but I thought I'd give it a shot..

I have rough, red skin on the tops of my hands. Nowhere else. Not even on my fingers a little bit. It itches. I tried to put lotion on it, and it felt a bit like acid. Not that I know what that feels like, but it did burn alot. I forgot to ask the ob... I did'nt even know if he would know, but I thought it would'nt hurt to ask...

It started last night. I haven't ruled out the soap in the bathrooms at Walmart, BUT, it only started last night. And I've been using that soap since 2 weeks ago. So! Any ideas on what I could do about this? Maybe benadryl cream or something?? I do think it's an allergic reaction, I just don't know... what I'm reacting to. I haven't done anything/touched anything out of the ordinary lately... *shrug*

Hey...came across your journal via the pregnant community.

Just wanted to say - my sister had that same thing happen to her hands when she was pregnant with her first, and then it went away.

Have you figured out what's caused it yet?

Not yet. I have found that a lot of lotion really helps. I tried this Avon stuff, silicone something, it was called. It helped. My hands literally soaked the stuff up, and it's better. But it's still not completely gone. They itch every once in a while. I wish I knew...
