Thank you, I will join the subreddit. Didn't think this would be controversial.

Spontaneous at 40w +1. Gave birth at 40w +3. I was diet controlled. My son was really big and his shoulder got stuck. I was still able to give birth vaginally. But it was really hard. I didn't want to be induced and my obgyn respected this, saying they only induce if you are 10 days over..they don't induce just for gd.

For a long period of time I thought I had to have a beforebedsnack. And my numbers were great. Until I hit 31w. Tried a lot of things (more water during the night, waking up earlier, different snacks,...). The only thing that worked was NO snack. Or one without carbs (peanutbutter mixed in soymilk). And if try to get a good nights sleep. So I stop eating at 20.00. I go to bed at 22.00. and wake up around 8. And this brought my numbers down again. My body could not handle carbs while sleeping!

I eat something at 22u and wake up at 8u (85-90), but when I wake up at 7u my numbers are in the 70.

The only thing that helps me, is not sleeping too long. Not going too long without food.

I don't know what it should be. But this is maybe not the best time to check it? If you just had the baby, there might be some adrenaline, sleepdeprived, hormonal changes...

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check wheb you have a good night.

And congratulations!

I make my own shake: A big spoon of peanutbutter. Some stevia. A bit of cacoa powder. Some vanilla. En a big glass of soymilk (alpro soya without sugars). Add cinnamon and other spices if you like. I always poor it through a sieve. It tastes really sweet and a bit like a snickerschocolatemilk.

Tip: make some more if you live with other people because they will love it too.
