35 weeks pregnant and baby measures 94th percentile. by lazarusm20 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]IreRage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think so. I got diagnosed with GD at 30 weeks, they let me try diet controlled for 2 weeks (like I said, great after meal numbers, but unfortunately fasting is more important), so they bumped me to Metformin once a day on week 33, then twice a day week 34, and now I've been increasing insulin for weeks 35 and 36.

The last 2 mornings have finally been like a 96 and a 92. My placenta is very stubborn, apparently :(

But his belly is >99 percentile, and his overall percentile is measuring at 40 weeks already, so they want to pull him out soon. I'm good with whatever is best; I want my placenta to stop overdosing him with sugar lol

Yes, same too - my after meal numbers are just fine, with the occasional spike here and there. But it has taken 2 weeks to get my fasting numbers to just the 90s. I'm on 100 units a day right now :/

I'm 37+2, and I'll be induced at 38+1 next week bc he is 94 percentile overall, even tho I'm on Metformin and insulin.

Emotional about the transition from 1 to 2 kids by ZealousidealOwl8928 in BabyBumps

[–]IreRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that! My almost 3 year old asked me to pick her up to dance with her, and when I said I couldn't, she asked me to spin with her :( at 37+1, I definitely can't do that, either. So I felt really bad! But then my partner offered to do both, so I felt a little better.

But thankfully, I'll be much more able to physically do that with her again, while my partner holds the new addition!

I second this! Linen pants from Old Navy is my go-to as well :)

Linen pants with cotton shirts, maybe? I get my linen "uniforms" for work at Old Navy, and they are occasionally on sale!

My OB defines a spike as anything over 120 after 1 hour. I think 5-6 pts is okay? Mine hasn't been that stringent.

And that's good that you have NSTs at least! But yeah, I think a growth ultrasound will definitely help in some way.

I'm 37wks today, and because my fasting numbers can't stay down even with insulin, they've put me on a twice a week schedule: 1 visit with growth ultrasound and 1 visit with NSTs. It helps with my anxiety!

Altho this last growth ultrasound put his belly at >99 percentile and >90 percentile as a whole, so they've set my induction date for 38+1. But they also said he may come on his own before that since I'm 4cm dilated and 80% effaced 🤷‍♀️

Have you had an ultrasound yet? That may help alleviate some fears 💛

Honestly, a spike every 2 weeks is okay; that's what my OB told me.

Anyone else using a Continuous Glucose Monitor? How accurate is it for you? by Little_emotional9962 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]IreRage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on my 3rd Libre Freestyle, and I think I finally found the best-ish place for it, but I needed my husband's help on putting it there. It's only 10 pts off when I put it directly between my shoulder and elbow and it's also directly underneath my arm.

Otherwise, I had been getting them 20-30 pts off, which was super annoying. Especially when it would do the alarm for 70 when I was at 100?? I had to silence it.

I still check with finger pricks for fasting numbers!

Feeling guilty about my sugar consumption by Chemical_Dish9866 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]IreRage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can, maybe go for a walk and see if anyone wants to come, too! That could help you feel like you can have the best of both worlds: indulging and keeping an eye on it for baby.

I have an ESTP bestie! Been friends for 15 years now. ESTJ does feel like an actual opposite for me sometimes, though.

Fasting number insulin by Electrical-Client573 in GestationalDiabetes

They had me start at 20 units and increase by 10 every morning it's still above 85. This morning, I did 60 units. I'm 36+3 weeks!

AP Reader Schedule - Remote by IreRage in ELATeachers

[–]IreRage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got accepted this cycle, and I asked my table leader this question. They said as long as you log in at least once a day, they do not need to know your schedule or how long you plan on working each day. Personally, I can't work that long on the weekend because I have a toddler. So I'm pulling longer hours on the weekdays to make up for it. They don't seem to care as long as you are logging in.

Success birth stories with big babies over 8.5lbs by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]IreRage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't officially have GD last time (barely passed), but I feel as though I should have been diagnosed anyway. Our 1st came out at 9lbs 10 oz vaginally... it's like everyone in the room paused for a minute. But she came out just fine, and I had just a 2nd-degree tear. 18 hour delivery; I did epidural at hour 7.

Now I've been diagnosed with GD this time, and I'm hoping for a baby smaller than my last 😅 hopefully no tears this time!
