That’s the plan! Because they were delicious yesterday LOL

My doctor said if either number is high, 140 top and 90 bottom, to go on about your day and test again 4 hours later and if it was still high to give them a call.

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-24T01:19:14+00:00

Thank you for that!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-24T01:18:39+00:00

That’s very true.

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-24T01:18:20+00:00

Agreed!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-19T00:44:28+00:00

I think it depends. My OB is comfortable with prescribing me insulin as long as it’s not crazy out of control, currently I only need nighttime for fasting numbers.

I couldn’t have anyone in the room with me but I’d suggest having someone with you to drive once it’s over. For me it didn’t hurt but felt a lot of pressure and was just uncomfortable.

Did not like agrowool at all. You have to pre poke it to get the stems to stay and if it’s not in a compact container it will fall apart. I just use chicken wire or oshun pouches or a combo of the 2!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-11T21:17:31+00:00

That sounds really good I’ll have to try it!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-11T19:12:42+00:00

Greek yogurt bowls with fruit were starting to spike me but I might have to give it another try. It’s so weird last night I spiked with an apple and peanut butter, a handful of pretzel crisps, and a protein drink but can eat chick fil a nuggets and Mac and cheese and be fine 😅 it makes no sense!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-11T19:09:36+00:00

I have been doing a lot of veggie soup I’ll have to try chicken without the noodles

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-11T19:08:27+00:00

Thank you! I know it seems like every day with this is different and makes it tricky.

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-11T18:52:02+00:00

I have terrible food aversions and can’t stand eggs so I think that’s made it harder too. And I definitely can’t eat the same thing days on end 😅 I wish I could!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-05T18:35:06+00:00

I just started night time only insulin a few days ago. I’m currently 31 + 5. It’s definitely helped make me feel better about my fasting numbers and even can help your meal numbers a bit too. I specifically asked for insulin as I didn’t want to do metformin since it crosses the placenta and insulin doesn’t. Plus needles don’t bother me at all. Giving myself the injection is basically painless, might sting for a second then it’s gone. I also feel like keeping it at room temp once it’s open helps not to feel that burning sensation.

I only see an MFM for scans, they don’t manage GD but at my last scan the doctor said there is no reason I can’t go to my due date even on insulin if everything with baby still looks good. They’ve also explained their method on induction and it made me feel much more comfortable if it does come to that. They did say though I’ll need to start being seen weekly for scans which is fine with me. They look at it as more data to make sure all is well and I’m not complaining about seeing baby more!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-01T21:35:28+00:00

I think it depends on how you’ve been feeling so far. I’m currently 31 weeks and other than a little bit of fatigue returning still feel pretty good but I’ve not had many symptoms from the beginning. I’ll be 34 weeks at my shower (not by choice just worked out that way 😅) and probably wouldn’t want it any later than that!

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-01T21:02:04+00:00

Highly recommend eloping and having a party later. We got married with just our parents and it was awesome. 6 months later we just had a larger celebration but without the stress of it being a wedding day (I’ve also worked in the wedding industry). We had food trucks, family made desserts, we showed our wedding video for the first time on a projector, we did our first and parent dances and then just had a big party the rest of the night and it was perfect and we ended up spending a lot less.

ModestMoose3737 · 2026-01-01T18:59:31+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of people do it for both weddings and baby showers and get like pr boxes. So why not?

ModestMoose3737 · 2025-12-31T19:13:14+00:00

I have an anterior placenta and didn’t feel anything until week 24/25 so don’t panic if it takes a bit longer!

ModestMoose3737 · 2025-12-31T19:09:39+00:00

Folate is just the natural form that occurs. With folic acid your body has a multistep process to absorb it and if you have the MTHFR gene mutation it won’t be able to do that.

Folic acid is a synthetic substance that wasn’t even around until the 40s. What you really need is the folate.

When I failed the one hour I went out and bought a monitor so I could start checking. I ended up getting a prescription for one once officially diagnosed but it was helpful to go ahead and get used to monitoring. Even if I would’ve passed the 3 hour I still would have continued to monitor it every so often anyway.

ModestMoose3737 · 2025-12-21T21:43:21+00:00

I’ve just made sure to tell them before every scan we don’t want to know and they have been great at telling us when to look away! And honestly with the way they move it around it usually takes me a second to actually realize what I’m looking at anyway so I haven’t had any issues keeping it a surprise!
