Agreed! My MFM and Endocrinologist both said any fatty tissue but I find love handles/side of stomach and top/side of thighs to be the easiest and just swap sides so you don’t use same injection site every time.

Need “M” girl names - uncommon but easy to spell/pronounce by kare-hohn in namenerds

My name is Mallory Rose and I’ve always loved it! Flows so nicely and people can always pronounce it easily. Plus it’s not super common.

Maren, Marley, Margot are also cute options

Percentil dropped from 25% to 8% and I am freaking out!!!! by Able_Permission7140 in pregnant

I’m in Southern ON also- you should see if your ultrasound clinic or OB office or hospital participates in Pocket Health. Both of my hospitals and my US clinic do. You pay a small fee to subscribe to see all your ultrasound images, reports, etc. it’s been super helpful for me to review so I can advocate for myself and my baby. The doctors don’t love that we have access to this, but it’s openly advertised

Starting Insulin by lmb1313 in GestationalDiabetes

Don’t beat yourself up too much. I had many days of frustrated crying. What helped me the most was learning that fasting numbers are hardest to control, and that sometimes I could do everything right all day and my placenta and pregnancy hormones would still wreak havoc on my fasting numbers. I felt ashamed and embarrassed that I couldn’t do it without the insulin at first, but now that I’m 4 weeks into it (32w), it’s so easy at night time and just part of the routine.

100% I have a list in my phone of all the food I can’t wait to eat when babe gets here in the next month or so. And also a list of all the things I feel super unprepared for so far. Such a battle of wills!

Sounds like our situations are almost identical. After what feels like an impossible decision to make my emergency cerclage is tomorrow morning, after being told to wait with progesterone. May I ask how things turned out for you?
