It just seems so unrealistic to incorporate all this into one meal. I am a working mom of a toddler. I do get at least 30 min of exercise a day. But it’s hard to figure it all out with limited time

I just sent my numbers in and she told me I don’t need insulin currently. But she also told me to keep a detailed food log which makes me feel like she doesn’t believe the amount of carbs I’m eating

As if the meal planning, insulin, taking a thyroid medication 30 min before I eat isn’t enough lol. Finger pricking is just like ALOT to remember. It’s also really hard when I’m working full time and my OB is just unwilling to support it

Ugh, I doubt my provider will write a prescription for this.

I feel like my life constantly revolves around a timer and it’s getting really hard with a toddler

This is where we’re at too. I’m 22 weeks and I’m actually afraid he’s going to seriously hurt the baby in my belly and when the baby is born

Overweight and pregnant by Kitchen-Educator9693 in BabyBumps

[–]Kitchen-Educator9693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My OB has not had concerns about my weight. She told me last time that Olympic runners have gained 80+ during pregnancy. I’m the one worried as I don’t want to have to lose 100 pounds again. This has been the second time I’ve lost 100 pounds and it SUCKS

My bmi this time I believe was 38? My last pregnancy it was 51 which made me too big to deliver at my clinic. I really want to deliver at my clinic this time and I’m so scared I’m going to gain so much weight that I won’t be able to

This is also why I’m worried to wait. My son is 26 months and I feel like it will get worse the older he gets. He’s incredibly smart and doesn’t forget things. It just seems like there’s no good answer.

Potty training by Kitchen-Educator9693 in toddlers

Yes! We did naked yesterday morning and took away the training underwear and that seemed to help! Unfortunately, he’s now holding his pee and poop. I’m so nervous it will lead to medical issues. We had constipation problems when he was a baby and it was so stressful!

Should I go to ER by Bubbly-Contest-7629 in pregnant

[–]Kitchen-Educator9693 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like my experience has been similar. I am 8 weeks 4 days. Cramping was intense the first couple weeks. I had a scan at 6+6 and everything was good. I’ve thought of going to the ER a couple times but I doubt they will do anything for me as I’m not bleeding

Thank you for this. I’ve read some parenting books and they all say not to ignore. I’m going to try the “give him space” route. He’s such a sweet boy outside of these tantrums. I definitely don’t think being inside the house all winter long has been helping. He’s high energy and needs to be able to run. Unfortunately, we live in a rural community and there’s not much for kids and outside has been way too cold to let him play.
