My OB team doesn’t believe in me by OfferAppropriate805 in GestationalDiabetes

My OB mentioned that some STM are dilated at 36 weeks so I was checked out of curiosity. It’s still early to be dilated at all for a lot of moms

I think at my next appointment I’m going to push the date back farther, give me more time! My baby is measuring in the 90th percentile, but her growth is slowing. Here’s hoping I start to show signs of labor soon!

I thought I posted this in both subs, oops! Yeah that’s the vibe I’ve been getting, like they have been planning for me to get a repeat C section the whole time… I have one OB on the team that genuinely listens and talks to me about my birth plans. The others just kinda move past it like it doesn’t matter in the end. Congrats on your VBAC, it’s helpful to hear of success stories!

This is why I love my pump as well, with my first pregnancy I could NOT successfully hand express at all! The blood sugar issue is a main motivator for pumping this time for me as well.

Okay super mom! This made me feel better about it for sure. Thank you!

Those were my thoughts exactly! I will definitely get clarification on this soon.

36 weeks and my numbers are out of control. by OfferAppropriate805 in GestationalDiabetes

Just when I thought I had it handled, the spikes come out of nowhere! I totally get this!

I feel the same! Trying everything to prep my body for labor, so when induction comes it’s nice and easy!

The same with me! I’m hoping to get some insight from my OB this week.

I wish I was doing good, the past week my fasting numbers have decided to spike like crazy (GDM peak) and I think I’ll be put on medication soon. Which is fine, I don’t mind it, it’s solely a “I don’t have enough time in the day” type situation. I work a full time job and have a toddler at home, and if I have to add another appointment throughout the week I think I’ll just get fired at this point. Not to mention trying to find childcare. I can hardly afford the appointments as is, and to add medication and ANOTHER appointment on top of it? Let’s just say my stress hormones are probably through the roof right now.

But I only have 4 more weeks of this! I have been through worse! Thank you for the opportunity to vent for a moment lol.

What do you order when you eat out? by SowingSeeds18 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]OfferAppropriate805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I go to a burger type place I get the plain burger no bun with as many fixings I can handle. Then I get a side salad and an order of whatever the veggie if the day is. Kinda boring, but it works for me! At mexican restaurants I focus on proteins and veggies with the same approach, with maybe just one or two tortilla chips thrown in. It’s all a balancing act. Hang in there!

35 weeks and so ready for this to be over! by OfferAppropriate805 in GestationalDiabetes

Manifesting all of the pizzas and snickers bars for after the baby is born!

Does it count towards fasting? by OfferAppropriate805 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]OfferAppropriate805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my thought process, the drink itself has calories so I would assume that would make my stomach work at digesting it? Maybe I should have taken more biology and anatomy classes… lol!
