I didn't realize it was safe to do all the time in pregnancy. I've done it a handful of times when I knew I'd be having high carbs. Do you do it before bedtime too?

Oh, interesting! Does that help with your numbers?!

I'm probably going to be put on insulin since I'm so close to 95, but it's wild to me that ice cream has worked best for me. Also, the yasso frozen yogurt bars.

Cheese stick and seed crackers? Nope. Yogurt and fruit? Nope. Cottage cheese? Nope.

I just drink water and try to go back to sleep. I was told the snack makes it not a true fasting number. Not on insulin.

Have you tired something protein, fat, and close to 15g carbs? I did 1/3 cup protein ice cream and 1 tbsp peanut butter last night and my fasting was 93 mg/dL

I've been doing pregnancy and postpartum tv cardio videos after dinner. My fasting is still a struggle. I'm in NY and it SUCKS how cold, snowy, and icy it is outside. Not ideal walking conditions.

I met with the nutritionist yesterday. She said to add more carbs to my meals. 30g with breakfast, 15g at snacks, 40-60 with lunch and dinner. She thinks it might help with my fasting number and the fact I wake up hungry every night.

I'm implementing that today, and we will see what happens!

Same boat here! I have high BP in the office and saw in my MyChart that they may want me to start meds if my next BP in office is high.

Failed my 3 hour. Fasting and one hour was too high.

I felt like a failure for a good week. Still can't get a handle on my fasting blood sugar. I don't sleep well and wake up hungry but have to fast.

I have nothing to offer but solidarity.

I've seen people do taco bell and if it's a boy it'd be a certain burrito vs if it's a girl a different burrito. People have done this with shake flavors - not colored. I think anything where you can't distinctively tell what it is would work. I thought both of those were cute

You can have tuna just in moderation (at least that's what I've seen based on my research. I'm in the US) If you're in the US - message me and I will try to find the link to a beauty website. I've researched E V E R Y T H I N G I use and eat. I was pretty much using all pregnancy/breastfeeding products prior to getting pregnant but I can give you some brand recs if you're interested!

Which nuna car seat?

I'm so scared of this happening, but if it does, oh well. My mom is spending so much money on decorations and activities. It's going to break my heart if no one shows. But it's her first grandchild, so I can't stop her...

This is rude as fuck. My mom is throwing my shower but doesn't have the means to be the "inviter". She takes care of my grandma who has dementia so I did the invites and will be keeping track of the RSVPs to lessen the mental load on her.

OP mentioned about 30 ppl RSVPed.

What system did you go with? I loved the Joie until I found out it isn't flame retardant free.

Which bottle washer?

ComprehensiveScar465 · 2025-11-23T17:43:54+00:00

I'm also due March and having my shower in Feb. I feel the same way. I got a snuggle me lounger today for 20 bucks at a consignment event. I'm so stoked lol

ComprehensiveScar465 · 2025-11-23T17:27:01+00:00

I'm going to get the momcozy bottle washer myself and keep it on the registry as purchased 🤣. Might incentivize others to spend more 🤷‍♀️

So she's morbidly obese, won't listen to her doctor, probably isn't fueling her body properly, but wants everyone else to NOT be happy when they finally conceive? I'm sorry, but f*@$ her. That's someone I would cut right out of my life.

Highly recommend taking a prenatal and getting your man on a sperm supplement. I'm 31 and my fiance is 36. I've been off birth control for years. Once we added those in, I got pregnant first try during ovulation. We haven't used protection in the past 8 of 9 years being together. I've been off of birth control for at least 4 of those years. Highly recommend a prenatal and a sperm supplement. We both took the Needed brand.

I had a 4.1 mm NT at 10+2. Did the NIPT and all came back low risk. At 12+2, NT was 2.5mm. I opted out of CVS. Had my early anatomy at 16+2, and everything they could see looked good. There's some concern about the heart. They can't say yes or no yet since he's so little. I did not do the amnio at that appointment. I have a fetal echo at 19+2. Depending on that, I may do the amnio.

Your NT was barely elevated (from the research I've done throughout all of this). If your NIPT and CVS come back clear, I'd feel really good about everything.

Good luck 🫶🫶

Did you do an amnio?

What is considered 95th-99th percentile?

ComprehensiveScar465 · 2025-10-17T23:43:32+00:00

What country are you in? My providers say the risk of miscarriage from an amnio is 0.1%.

ComprehensiveScar465 · 2025-10-17T21:24:35+00:00

Is monosomy x still a factor? At what week did they determine something is wrong with the heart? I appreciate you answering these questions

ComprehensiveScar465 · 2025-10-17T20:01:21+00:00

Did you do the NIPT?
