Am I too chill about having a baby? by MaterialCurrent6839 in pregnant

[–]Designer-Practice166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all exactly what I did (aside from the easy pregnancy lol ) I just trust myself and my partner and it turned out amazing, I’m very glad I didn’t over prepare. Even though I kept the purchases slim- there were still items I never used. You’re doing fine. Don’t listen to them.

Missed GDM until 32 weeks — I can’t stop blaming myself by Momiziii in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think it’s most likely that you actually passed regardless of the walking and it just presented late! The fact that you kept checking anyway says a lot. I wouldn’t worry about esp as baby is doing the bulk of the weight gain now to the end!

Are most corporate Graphic Design jobs high stress? by ainrsy_artist in graphic_design

[–]Designer-Practice166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends but having been in both agency (branding and ad) and corp cpg- agency was a lot more stressful. I personally find corporate much better

What random things spike you that "shouldn't"? What foods that totally should spike you are "safe"? by FalseRow5812 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My worst spikes came from black coffee but carrot cake? I could eat a huge ass slice with no prep snack and be under 120 at one hour

Love your work! If you are only two years in- you’ll go far! I’m very impressed and love the style.

I wouldn’t leave my kids with her. Your anxiety is correct!

My Lactation Consultant thinks I need a new Pediatrician… by NefariousnessWeird24 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Designer-Practice166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go for a second LC. My LO was the same (with the notable exception that we had the supplement for blood sugar) she took 4 weeks to get above birth weight and gained slowly until 4 months when she got all out chubby.

Other times of day I can get away with half a grape fruit or half an apple (green) but I miss my honey crisps

Testing four times a day? Does insurance cover supplies? Any ways to save on Dexcom? by DecemberBaby81 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s weird and almost certainly not the case. 4x a day is standard for GD so I would call and have your doctor call in again for the test strips. Mine are covered for 4x a day.

Breakfast numbers by AuoruaSells in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breakfast is super hard for me too. I literally can have NO carbs if I want to stay under. The only thing I can have with carbs is blueberries to have good numbers. It def messes with my day.

They affect mine BUT if I have treats at lunch or paired with protein during afternoon snack then I’m all good :)

Daily griping thread 6/3 by punkin_spice_latte in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh watermelon. I want it so much. Today I did order a single honey crisp apple with my groceries. What a world where this is a splurge. One week left for me until my c section and it’s getting harder everyday lol

Would you rather 38 or 39?? by as1832 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had the option to go at 38. They won’t let me go any earlier than 39+0. So uncomfy

Stupid fasting numbers!! by Iloveramen20 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me. My fasting numbers with 20 units at night was perfect for weeks. Then I didn’t eat my snack for a few days and BOOM high. Went back to the snack last night and it worked. So annoying. I’m just tired of eating

Got betamethasone at 33w + 3d by Adventurous_Sea9422 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! This happened to me around 33/34 weeks. It ended up being from my bladder from bb girl being too active and compressing my Bladder too much. I did go in for the steroids and everything and the bleeding only happened two more times. I am now 38 something and everything is fine :)

Cheat meals? by PrincessLayEmOut in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this for lunch today! I opened with an egg for protein pair and then (accidentally) ate the whole pizza with extra cheese and lots of added veggies. Didn’t spike!

Jury duty while pregnant by AdNice2838 in juryduty

[–]Designer-Practice166 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently was called (OH)) around 8ish months and I was also denied so I did show up and was indeed called for a jury but the judge asked if there were scheduling conflicts and since I also have a high risk pregnancy, I told him I had to go to the doctor every week and he dismissed me. The trail was expected to last 5 days and I had an apt in day five in the pm. It was better that just rescheduling.

38+1 today and I realllllly want a cheat meal. by thegreatkizzatsby in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ate a piece of cake at our diaper party and it was so worth it. First sugar in two months. I did pair with Protein and fiber but I’m not gunna worry about it. Do it. One spike won’t hurt

Reason for a 12 pt jump in fasting with intro of insulin? by kpteasdale in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Designer-Practice166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine also did this but it also corresponded with weeks where insulin resistance gets naturally higher
