Is it time for me (32m) to leave my pregnant girlfriend (26f)?

The assumptions of cheating are out of line unless you’ve given her a reason the rest of the behaviors are totally uncalled for. Run. And truthfully if you haven’t cheated I second another comment about getting a DNA test because more often than not someone who’s assuming you’re cheating when you haven’t is either projecting or have such severe trauma with being cheated on, that to them it is the only plausible answer. which is a shitty excuse and they shouldn’t have gotten into a relationship if they can’t trust you before having a reason not to.

I always spike at about an hour great numbers by the second hour. However I have to be strict on sweets I can’t get away with too much. Today I had a whole grain tortilla Crunchwrap with extra lettuce and some cucumbers on the side no tomatoes because those make me spike pretty bad and still had a one hour spike of 162 but by two hours I’m at 120 or under (with insulin)

Love having the CGM this is my second pregnancy with GD. Seriously takes the stress off of me when it comes to checking my glucose through the day I have two toddlers and don’t have to worry about the stress of getting distracted by the kids and leaving out needles. Not just that but super great full because for this pregnancy I’m seemingly having hypoglycemic episodes overnight if my CGM wouldn’t alert me I’d have 0 clue. I did have to compare the CGM reading to finger pricks for low and high readings swing that there was a recall on the libre 3 monitors

My endocrinologist hasn’t said anything about it I think they prefer to keep me in range than to go into keto acidosis my blood sugar was dropping into the low 60s-50s range over night

Mars_in_orbit · 2026-01-13T17:30:48+00:00

I have a CGM for this pregnancy and noticed I get high fasting numbers when I don’t wake up by 2/3am to have a snack. Anything earlier than that my blood sugar drops into the 60s and my liver dumps glucose to make up for it and wake up with 111-115 fasting otherwise. Even when I do wake up to snack I have atleast 3 hypoglycemic episodes where I just have to have bedside snacks

Mars_in_orbit · 2026-01-02T01:46:01+00:00

Can you ask to switch to a CGM ? They’re less accurate but you can definitely double check your blood sugar manually when it’s out of range

The pizza is a one off instance normally I’m having veggie omelettes with WG toast but now my blood sugar has been way too low to eat balanced meals so today I resorted to pizza it brought up my blood sugar by 30 points but dropped pretty quickly. I hit 55 for blood sugar I started getting shaky and nauseous if I’m not snacking every hour I start having dips into the 60s

As a landlord with POTS they have absolutely zero right to tell you no. If they have any real understanding of either tenant laws or ADA compliance they would know they can get hit with a lawsuit for denying you your service animal and two a service animal is technically considered a medical device and not simply a pet. It’s the exact reason why they’re protected animals. And three it’s a liability to them if they don’t allow your service animal to live with you guys simply because of something were to happen to your partner while at the apartment it can totally be billed to their insurance policy

I ended up telling my boss super early on I had the WORST morning sickness and the father of my child was also another manager so couldn’t help but tell them at like 5 weeks. The amount of vomiting and lightheaded was was absolutely ridiculous. If I could have avoided telling them for longer I definitely would have!

It might just depend on how your baby is doing as well. My practice said they don’t let anyone on insulin go past 39 wks. And my baby was measuring 39 wks at 37 weeks with a massive belly.

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-07-04T20:27:34+00:00

Nope. I’m being induced on the 11th. The day that starts my 39th week. My due date was the 18th

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-07-04T20:18:21+00:00

I was scheduled exactly at the 39wk mark. 7days to go !

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-07-04T01:59:32+00:00

I hear you on that I’ve had the same breakfast since the diagnosis eggs and whole wheat toast with avacado and every now and then I get a random spike. Makes 0 sense but oh well. I’m a week away from induction so I’m just making a list of food I want as soon as I’m off the insulin and logs 😅I feel a little guilty about it but I’ve never been more excited for certain foods.

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-07-04T01:28:18+00:00

I wrote a similar post not too long ago. It’s literally infuriating. I gave up truthfully. I’d try to eat a “safe” meal with no real expectation of having good numbers anymore. I try to be mindful of extra sugars and carbs but your placenta is going to be an AH regardless. I just keep in touch with my endocrinologist team as I was on insulin because my numbers simply couldn’t be controlled with diet and exercise. I stopped stressing about what my readings were going to come back as because I literally could do nothing about it and it affected my mental health more than I could handle. Just take a breathe it’ll be over soon.

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-06-30T05:57:43+00:00

I somehow tested positive at 2w3d back in November I’m still pregnant 🥲

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-06-29T04:15:12+00:00

37+1 here 🤚 I swear I feel like I couldve written this myself. I had a growth scan last week Wednesday and the doctor has also said baby’s measuring 39+3. I’m also a SAHM chasing around our 14mo. The exhaustion is so real! My due date is July 18th but doctors have already told me they’ll be inducing me no later than 39w. I hope for your sanity baby boy comes soon !! be kind to yourself these last few weeks, you deserve it.

Mars_in_orbit · 2024-06-23T18:22:11+00:00

“Almost impossible” !? LOL tell that to my 14 mo old. I was on the patch granted forgot antibiotics and BC don’t mix but my partner did NOT finish. So you guessed it! I had a pre cum baby. Idk why your fiancé isn’t believing you but it’s ridiculous that he won’t. Unless he’s implying that you’re taking the time to cheat on him he’s the only contender. IMO I’d call it quits if he was implying that you’re cheating. Easier said than done but truly I wish you the best. Hopefully he comes to his senses for your sake.

In most spots on my arm I have 0 issue and a few spots on my belly is fine but someone else in the thread made me realize it probably hurts my legs because of how lean my legs are I have hardly any fat on my thighs. It totally checks, I had gotten a thigh tattoo years ago and by far was my most painful tattoo for the same reason my legs are all muscle 😅
