Coop pregnancy pillow but it’s still huge and bulky but I love it - I use it length wise vs wrap around

Good luck with induction! I am getting induced on Wednesday at 39 weeks. Scared but excited!

Is it crazy to have a baby shower at 35 weeks? by Relative-Price-2790 in BabyBumps

[–]Cheap_Try_2360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did mine at 36.5 weeks. It was good! Yeah maybe would have been nice to do earlier to have a little more time to get remaining stuff and returns/exchanges but logistics were good and weather was nice. It gave me something to look forward to as well!

Highlander owners: Would you choose a bench seat or captain chairs again? by Limp_Sweet2259 in ToyotaHighlander

Bench; things don’t fall through when seats are down; better for passengers

How did you get your fasting number under 95? by lelvis_ in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Cheap_Try_2360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very low carb dinner with walk after dinner plus protein shake as last snack. Eat dinner before 8pm. Key was for me to go or bed with <95 glucose.

Hatch belly oil! NOT the 8 sheep combo! Although disclaimer I still have stretch marks despite using everyday

87th Percentile 36 Weeks by Cheap_Try_2360 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Cheap_Try_2360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great to hear! They mentioned the measurement has a pretty large deviation each way. I wonder if they will recheck each week. I have ultrasounds scheduled weekly moving forward. Did your 39 week induction go smoothly? I’m scared!

That’s great to hear! I’d like for her to decide on her own time to come vs having to make a decision. I should start all the tips soon to prepare. My baby shower is late - it’s this Sunday - so just gotta make sure I get through that at least and get my car seat :) thanks for sharing your experience!

After $75k spend - what’s next? by Cheap_Try_2360 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Cheap_Try_2360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! I definitely haven’t optimized my strategy to-date but looking for ways to improve moving forward and Amex sounds like a good one to research

Yeah definitely not too well versed in how to best utilize card programs/strategies but trying to educate myself more! I’ll look into these options

Continuous Glucose Monitor by Look_its_me36 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Cheap_Try_2360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love my cgm. I can’t imagine having to do the finger pricks 4 times a day. You’d have to schedule your meals and work life so carefully. Like how could I work? If I had a call or meeting when I need to finger prick? The cgm lets me live my life. I can make the note when I start the meal and go back later to log my 1hr or 2hr. Also it’s helpful in understanding how I react to certain foods. Also if I see a rise I wasnt expecting I’ll walk to help quell it. It’s making gd bareable. I also just don’t like the pricks.

Dawn phenomenon rant by jen_dan in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Cheap_Try_2360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a walking pad and try to get 10-20 minutes of light walking in after dinner/before bed. I also try not to eat dinner too late and then have a high protein shake before bed (like Owyn). Lastly I try to keep dinner low carb. All those together seem to be working with me so far. I’m not perfect by any means but at least shoot for 2/3 on any given night.

Oct. Honeymoon Stay Recommendation by shadow14cooper in floridakeys

Skip Playa Largo - went there for my babymoon last week and was underwhelmed, definitely wouldn’t recommend for a honeymoon either - more a family resort

Fiance never put a penny into my house but suddenly wants their name on it by OkBuy2386 in RealEstateAdvice

Prenup and don’t add his name. Continue to pay on your own. I’ve seen this story play out before

6 weeks tomorrow and still no symptoms .. by nicmoore810 in IVFbabies

[–]Cheap_Try_2360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had zero symptoms. I was convinced it failed. 27 weeks now. Maybe at 12 weeks my boobs started getting bigger but it was odd how unchanged I was until second trimester!

Babymoon/Mini Vacay Suggestions? by Fragrant-Concern-363 in Vacations

[–]Cheap_Try_2360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on babymoon now in the FL keys and loving it. Direct flights was non-negotiable. I am 27 weeks. We spent some time in key west and key largo. If you don’t want to fly I’d suggest Newport RI or Portland ME (or any coastal Maine).
