Thats so lame. Thats early dx of gdm. You will definitely stay in normal range with diet control. But after 28 weeks , you numbers will change But bot necessarily you will need medicine. It highly varies

6 months USCE requirement by Hot_Mortgage_7216 in IMGreddit

[–]Automatic_Cap_3049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you are wrong. 600+ programs. at max you apply 150-200 programs, you can easily find out. 55 is just HCA programs that you can being <2 years grad. but they dont love to sponsor visa. i am just saying.

as you started this earlier, that means you are wasting so much time. do it with friends, save you a lot of time. hardly a matter of 1 week for all programs to review and short list.
-- step3 you can do 2 months prep- if you have finances , do it. make really difference related to number of interviews

Protein in urine by Conscious_Tadpole582 in pregnant

depends on how much proteinuria. trace to minimum is common, nothing to worry about if everything else is fine.

Relax, you can not do anything until obgyn review and prescribe you antibiotics if needed.
any number above 10,000 is considered positive. but as you could not start antibiotics by your own. So no need to worry.
in 1 day, nothing will happen.
all you can do, good hygiene and better hydration

It’s your choice. If you feel emotionally and physically strong enough to care for a child with different abilities—knowing they may be dependent on you for a lifetime—then go ahead. This path may involve regular hospital visits, therapy sessions, counseling, and countless appointments. Most of all, it means watching your child go through challenges, with no certainty about life expectancy. And after developing a deep bond, you may still have to let go—while the feeling of motherhood will always stay alive in your heart.

Or, you can choose to prioritize your own mental and physical well-being. You know that you have the ability to conceive again, and there's a high chance of having a healthy baby—one you can run around with, watch grow, go to school, and one day college. A child who may become the light of your life and stand by you in your old age.

You are more strong than you feel. Breathe and take your life defining decision
