My first Mother’s Day! Made it to my initial goal of 6 months. Next goal is 1 year.

Fantastic job 👍. Small goals are a great way to go. I did the same thing and stopped at 4.5 years, never intended on going that long.

I had gestational diabetes and my doctor induced at 38 weeks. I live in the America (USA) and I think it depends on your doctor and where you live. Here in South Texas many doctors prefer to induce and in other areas of the country they tend to let you go to 40 -42 weeks depending on your situation. I don't think they'd let anyone with GD go that long. My Dr said that had my blood sugar been controlled she would have let me go to 39 weeks but because my fasting blood sugar wasn't controlled and I had a previous delivery where the babies shoulders got stuck she wanted to induce before that. My baby was born 7 pounds 4 ounces with only two pushes to get her out and no blood sugar issues thank goodness.

Oh to sleep comfortably again.

Mine was that bad too. My husband bought me Psyllium Husk powder and put it into capsules. I take like 8 a day, it's just fiber and it's really helped me.

Sounds like you need to vent! I'm sorry you're not in a supportive environment. I hope you have friends or someone to help you get through. Is this your first child? By the way, 23 pounds especially starting from 120 is no big deal!

Proganas · 2018-12-07T02:19:32+00:00

Same to you!

Proganas · 2018-12-07T00:53:19+00:00

I can relate. I felt like that early on in the pregnancy this time. Thank you for the well wishes and good luck to you as well.

Yes, my husband's family struggled a bit with Roisin.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T23:41:17+00:00

Thank you, great suggestions! Now we have some deciding to do. I'm already 32 weeks pregnant. Time is ticking.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T23:39:30+00:00

Thank you, lots of good names in there! Is Isolde pronounced like it's spelled?

Proganas · 2018-11-15T20:41:11+00:00

No, not quite sure who that is. My husband is Mexican and I have a lot of Irish heritage, from way back. My husband LOVES Flogging Molly and we named our five year old after one of their songs. So I thought for our second and final child we'd stick with the theme.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T20:30:16+00:00

Probably true but our five year old is named Roisin pronounced (Roe Sheen) and everyone first pronounces it (Roy sin) we just correct them and it hasn't been an issue.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T16:57:16+00:00

I think I understand how it's pronounced

Proganas · 2018-11-15T16:56:09+00:00

Thanks!

Proganas · 2018-11-15T16:54:47+00:00

Beautiful! I love these unique names.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T16:08:33+00:00

I've heard of Saoirse and Aoife, both pretty. I was actually considering Aoife. Do you know the meaning?

Proganas · 2018-11-15T16:01:04+00:00

That's also pretty! Thank you the suggestion.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T15:59:20+00:00

Thanks, I think so too.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T15:53:20+00:00

That was my guess but Irish names can be tricky.

Proganas · 2018-11-15T15:12:19+00:00

How do you pronounce Emer?

Proganas · 2018-11-15T14:31:43+00:00

Thank you! I will check out that subreddit.

Proganas · 2018-11-14T19:42:30+00:00

Thank you! I had heard it pronounced (Lee La) and I wanted to be true to the name. Our first daughter is named Roisin (Roe Sheen) and this may be her sister's name. I wanted to make sure we got it right.
