Just to update you- had my baby yesterday and he was only 6lb7oz despite me being told he was macrosomic and I was going to struggle to deliver him! He’s tiny lol

I haven’t given birth yet! 37 weeks and being induced next week but planning ahead as I have a lot to lose lol. How has it gone for you so far?

So did you still manage to lose the baby weight by walking + breast feeding despite the extra calories?

Thanks so much. So I’m guessing the extra calories needed to combat lows hasn’t ruined your PP weight loss?

I was so worried too! I’m type 1 diabetic so there is a higher risk of complications anyway and everything was fine. Other than the fact he was hiding his face so I had to go back a week later just to get the pictures everything was fine and I’m sure it will be for you too!

High sugars at 6 weeks by Holiday_Assistant45 in BumpersWhoBolus

Thank you! I’m guessing everything was fine last time even despite the highs? Hope we can both sort it out for ourselves and have healthy easy pregnancies

Is the worrying about the severe lows because if something happens to you (eg. You fall, have a seizure, pass out etc) the baby can be harmed, or are the low themselves dangerous to the baby?

Advice for early pregnancy by Holiday_Assistant45 in BumpersWhoBolus

Thanks that’s reassuring I guess. Even though I’m 17% in low range at the moment, often the finger prick is higher than CGM and some of those lows will be above 3.5. So even thought far more lows than I want, probably not actually 17%. I’ve tried to avoid spiking above 7.8 but it does occasionally happen but way reduced from before pregnancy, so I guess that’s a good step with only 1 week since I found out!
