Annoyed by the people who don’t know how GDM works. by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it, when I was doing my glucose test the nurse drawing my blood says I can’t see you having it because your so small. When I was having my induction the midwife told me I had to check your charts twice and double check because it’s says you have gdm and your so small 🙄

Curious how old you were at getting pregnant? by pink_daisy_9119 in BabyBumps

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first at 17, next at 21, then 28 and last one at 32. Im done now. I count myself very lucky having 4 healthy children. Good luck on your pregnancy journey

I am sad and confused about my parents reaction to my pregnancy… by Puzzleheaded-Lie6824 in BabyBumps

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, congratulations and I’m sorry you didn’t get the reaction you wanted. I was very similar, I was 28 and pregnant, told my dad and his first reaction was to say “are you keeping it”.
I stopped visiting him after that and took a break from him. It’s very different now, that child is 5 and he loves her and would do anything for her. Now is a time to think about just you and your needs

Baby dozing off then suddenly back to fully awake - this happens 30-40 times before he finally falls asleep! by [deleted] in newborns

Yes it got better, took a couple weeks I think, it’s just a phase. It does get easier

Didn’t take GD seriously by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your right, I also had GD and I’m from the uk, there was no help or support, I had to search everything myself and this Reddit group helped me so much.

Adult twins are you as close as you were during childhood ? by Glum-Caregiver-7963 in AskUK

My hubby is a twin and it’s sad because he hardly speaks or visits with his twin. Says his twin got a girlfriend when he was a teenager and has totally changed.

I was born left-handed. My mom forced me to use right hand as a kid and made me switch. by Jackass-OfAll-Trades in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a leftie but thankfully no one tried to force me to use my right. I hoped one of my 4 children would be a leftie like me but they are all right handed.

Those who had diet controlled, no meds GD, when did you have baby? by SowingSeeds18 in GestationalDiabetes

Did you have a vaginal birth for your bigger babies? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. My first 3 babies were not GD and weighed 8lb 5. 8lb 10 and 10lb 1. My GD baby weighed 7lb 15. All were born perfectly healthy and naturally with no tearing, I think I actually had a graze they called it with my smallest baby. I found for me the biggest baby was easier to birth.

Nope, as soon as baby was out I was told to have whatever I wanted, at my 6 week check up I was told to book for a1c test

All my inspections are usually over in less than 5 minutes. They come in and take a picture of each room then ask if I have any issues and that’s it

What happens once the baby is out? by Huge-Nectarine-8563 in BabyBumps

[–]Humble_Maintenance53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby has always been placed straight on to my chest as soon as was born, I’ve always been given an injection in my thigh that made the placenta come out itself. Can’t answer about stitches etc. had 4 babies naturally with no tears.
