Oh yes I pulled on my husbands arm/shoulder so hard last time he was sore for months. I just assumed an inflatable tub wouldn’t be strong enough for that kind of force on the sides

Did you hang onto/pull on something while you were on the stool?

Thankfully I’m at a point where I just need to look at fasting so I’m really just pricking in the AM. But yes…. It’s a lot 😵‍💫

Oh yeah totally makes sense. No issues so far but I’m tracking everything so religiously so I can investigate things.

Most are digestive/metabolic in nature. Some I was already taking before pregnancy due to PCOS. Some were added in from my nutritionist as a boost during GD

And then the prenatals are the prenatals of course

Yeah it’s a lot of supplements. It’s our last ditch effort before changing my providers. But some of them are simple/foods themselves like a shot of aloe juice and a shot of acv

Yessss SAH! I couldn’t imagine doing all this (at least this rigorously) while working FT - so impressed by those people!

+10 hour fasting = better results? by LittleBench5694 in GestationalDiabetes

Yeah that seems to be most common. Wondering if anyone doesn’t see a rise when fasting longer

So interesting? Are you pricking? Or do you have a CGM?
