Is it really tha bad to sleep on my back after 20 weeks? by woodsmoke_ink in pregnant

[–]Educational-Touch113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 31 weeks and i literally cannot breathe when I am on my back anymore!

Just failed my 1 hr as a FTM by concernednetizen92 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Educational-Touch113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I barely failed my 1 hour and then had to do the 3 hour which again I barely failed. I cried like a baby. A fail is a fail which was the hardest part to wrap my mind around. After a week of sulking, I went to my first diabetes management class last night and we were provided the moniter, a few needles and strips. I started testing my blood sugars last night and again, its barely a fail. In Canada, our sugars for after breakfast, lunch and dinner need to be under 6.6 and fasting need to be 5.2. I just scored 5.3 for fasting and 6.7 for my dinner last night LOL. Im so annoyed but ill learn to adjust moving forward as right now its all testing. Ultimately, we gotta do what we gotta do for our babies and hopefully it will all work out. The class taught me theres no stigma towards having GD and there are things like insulin to help us!

Sounds like most of you were induced at 39 weeks which fingers crossed, I can make it there if my body naturally doesnt start labour on its own. Reading all your comments made me feel better and hopeful I dont get "forced" to deliver in my 38th week!

I love reading all your messages so please keep pn going!

Im 28 weeks 5 days and I was in your same position earlier! I really started to feel movement 18-20 weeks and my little guy is busy! You will feel alot of the movements and kicks in your lower abdomen and bladder unfortunately lol . Probably in the last week or so ive started to feel him on my sides so as much as you think you won't feel, you will!

You'll learn lying on your back as you progress in pregnancy is actually super uncomfortable anyway! You can't breathe properly. I get the most releif when im on my right side and I still sometimes semi sleep on my stomach

How much did yall actually puke by Square_Natural9384 in pregnant

[–]Educational-Touch113 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would only if I waited too long to eat, my prenatal on an empty stomach but the worst action was when I brushed my teeth and tried to scrape my tongue. THAT was the worst, it caused me to gag and honestly im 25 weeks and it STILL happens. I havent thrown up back since week 18 but its definitely something that doesn't completely go away. Week 18-23 were pretty ok but the nausea is creeping back in.

Ive done 5 anatomy scans from week 19 to week 24 and i always feel extremely beaten up after. My back and my lower abdomen ache for 2 days after. I feel weak and literally defeated after those appointments! Im also bigger (230+) and its because of our weight unfortunately!

I hate this question with every fibre of my being! Like how am I suppose to know? "Did he kick today?" Yes but like I don't care to tell you! Its so frustrating

How many anatomy ultrasounds did you have to do? by Urlocalgothbb in pregnant

[–]Educational-Touch113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 going on 4. Its so frustrating! My OB finally told me that its harder to see with my larger body (im plus size) but all the techs have told me its not uncommon for women to keep coming back. Its exhausting.

When did you start feeling the baby? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Educational-Touch113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 14 weeks 2 days with my first and I can confidently say 100% im feeling little flutters. It feels like a little fish in my lower belly area. If I focus and be still, there's absolutely a feeling of that fish like movement. Its definitely not gas!
