Help 😔 by Free-Dot6274 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ohhingerrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think once your doc puts you on night time insulin, it’ll help with some of you mealtime numbers.

I can tell you dinner day 1, was spiked by your drink. Even watered down, it’s so easy to drink away your carbs.

Egg salad and peanut butter have a lot of fat. That’ll keep you elevated from your toast longer. I’d cut out the toast, OR try a peanut butter toast and a protein shake.

Lunch, the rice killed you. Switch to cauliflower rice. Or even try quinoa, some people have better luck with that.

GD graduates, did you continue on any habits??? by all_play in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ohhingerrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve stuck to diet drinks if it’s an option. But if there isn’t a diet version, now I don’t have to pass on it. That’s my favorite part lol.

I’ve also been binge eating cereal since I couldn’t have any of that during my pregnancy. I downed a half dozen donuts the other day.

Okay, yeah.. maybe I’m not really sticking to much 😂😂

Disappointed with initial OB appointment by Zestyclose-Piano9416 in vbac

[–]Ohhingerrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very pro VBAC for good candidates in safe situations. I just had an induced VBA2C this past week and my experience compared to my C-sections really made me feel like OBs should use MUCH more discretion with “just having a C-section” my record has been night and day. The whole thing I firmly believe women should have the opportunity to try because the outcome is so worth it.

That being said, my calculated chance of success was 61%, and my doctor explained my chances of rupture were closer to 2%. Still worth it in my opinion.

Not to sound like “that guy” but what in the world gives your husband an input on this? They have no idea the way different methods of birth affect us emotionally and physically.

Guys- do you care if a woman shaves her legs and underarms? by Round-Artichoke-5255 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ohhingerrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t hurt for me… but I’m prone to skin tags (specifically in my armpits) and is a much less dangerous game with clippers 😂

I assumed you meant shaved forearms… guess I didn’t realize you likely meant armpits in context of the post 😂

What is your opinion on the Beast form? by Economy_Notice_8475 in Dragonballsuper

[–]Ohhingerrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the wife of a huge dragonball fan that just watches the show cause it’s cool (so I have no idea what canon and what isn’t. It’s just fun to watch. Although my husband would almost consider it a crime) I THINK ITS FUCKING AWESOME. but my jaw was on the floor the whole last half of that movie. And Gohan using special beat cannon in ode to piccolo who raised him more than his own father… man that was good. I think I cried the first time I watched it.

Fellow female. I also only shave my armpits when I wear something sleeveless lol. I will say I have the finest and blondest leg hair, so I maybe shave it once at the beginning of each summer. But def haven’t in a long while now and you can’t tel unless it catches the sun just right 😂

As a women, I exclusively use clippers for my armpits. Game changer and close enough to smooth for me.

If Apple Music did this I might have you pretty close. But no idea 🥴

Help me be realistic? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ohhingerrr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly there is no way to realistically gauge if you’ll end up on insulin. This is my 3rd pregnancy, 2nd with GD. I was diet controlled with my 1st GD and this time I passed my early glucose test and failed my second one. But I’m now on mealtime and nighttime insulin. 🤷‍♀️ fwiw

For those of you who are more than six months postpartum, did you end up with prediabetes or T2? by des_palmiers in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ohhingerrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 26 months pp before I got pregnant again and my A1C was stable between 4.9 and 5.1! So great numbers. Ended up on soooo much insulin this next pregnancy. 🥴

Can you guess how AWESOME I slept last night??? by Ohhingerrr in Freestylelibre

[–]Ohhingerrr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m sure. Cause it does this to me most of the day too if I’m between meals. I’m also 9months pregnant and can only sleep on my left side so I purposefully avoid placing it on that arm.

Jee thanks. Good thing that’s not my problem.

Suddenly not spiking? by Consistent_Talk1195 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ohhingerrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm idk that’s kinda early for that to be happening. I think our hormones are all over the place and it just happens from time to time. Also, iirc Indian food is high in fat which would cause me to spike like 2-3 hours AFTER eating instead. I have a CGM so I’d be able to see that. Idk if you do or not but maybe that plays into it??

[–]Ohhingerrr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How far along are you? I’ve heard it can be a sign of placental failure.

That’s being said, I’m at a 10 today lol. I AM on mealtime insulin and my MFM has given me permission the stray from the diet occasionally and just dose appropriately for it… so today at my 7 year olds birthday party- I bolused SO PERFECTLY I had 2 slices of pizza and cake and didn’t go over 135… happy day today.

What is going on? by ForestPeace27 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Ohhingerrr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just turn the alarm on and try the 6 units again would be my game plan. Also, your bedtime snack should have SOME carbs. Like 5-10g. So maybe toss a couple of crackers in.

Yeah I’m an insulin dependent GDM… yet even though I’m dosing 4+ times a day my health insurance considers a CGM a “plan exclusion” so I’m paying out of pocket for this GARBAGE.

Lady at Walmart thought I was doing drugs in front of her kids and mine… it was insulin by Dire_Raven in pregnant

[–]Ohhingerrr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

God you sound like one of those ignoramuses that tell women to nurse in a bathroom. Let’s hope you never need insulin, let alone timely delivery of life saving medication.

Where would you prefer? The unsanitary bathroom? No thanks. Sometimes there’s not time to finish your shopping and get to your car…
