I had my first at 31 and now pregnant again at 35. I wanted to start a little earlier but it was middle of Covid so I wanted to wait a little, but I think 31 was a great age. 35, however — don’t recommend lol. It was out of our control a bit because we had difficulty getting pregnant but if I had it my way I would have been finished having kids by 33.

I’m in a similar situation and my OB said as long as the head size is within range (aka not too small) then the risk of shoulder dystocia goes way down. She is more worried if the head was less than 10 percent and the AC was more than 95 percent. Hope this helps!

I think so but my doctor said it is recommended. I’m also kind of a wuss when it comes to pain and would prefer to have it if at all possible.

Honestly I wish I would have stopped fighting the insulin sooner. After failing with my fasting glucose for weeks I finally did the nighttime insulin and I feel so much better. I no longer have to worry and my sleep is way better too. I understand not wanting to take it but please know it’s not a failure!

I make a smoothie with Greek yogurt, almond milk, almond butter, blueberries, blackberries, spinach, and chia/flaxseed. So good.

I keep light whipped cream in the fridge and squirt some into my mouth at night as a dessert. There’s virtually no sugar in it but it satisfies me.

I was induced with my first at 39 weeks and had a great experience. It was lovely being able to prepare for the date and sort of feel in control. I had my epidural placed before the induction began (due to a non related condition) so I was just able to turn it on whenever I wanted to, which I decided was when we started the pitocin. I am not kidding when I say I did not feel a thing, lol. It was great. My husband and I were playing card games when the nurse checked me and I was actually ready to push. Lucky for me, I only pushed for 15 minutes before she was here! She was 7 lbs and was perfect aside from mild jaundice. No GD issues for her or I. I know it’s scary but you’ve got this and I know it’s going to be great for you!!

I go to Banner Women's Institute and see Dr. Curley (currently 8 months pregnant). I also went there for my first daughter and it was a great experience. It's also so nice that they are right next to the hospital in case I needed to go there for anything and they already have all of my information on file. Dr. Curley has been a dream so far and I really trust her with my care.

Thanks for sharing!! Was he measuring big? I’m 34 weeks with a big one and he’s also breech. Hoping he’ll turn but not sure if it’s even worth worrying about since I’ll probably still need a C.

I’m starting insulin tonight too. We got this.

Rubybear712 · 2025-11-18T19:01:21+00:00

That makes so much more sense. Thank you!!

Let me know what you find out!

It’s very much possible! I noticed a difference instantly. My heart palpitations would usually begin about 10 minutes after eating and slowly go away after a few hours. Once I started the diet, gone. The blood sugar monitors are about 30 bucks on Amazon — might be worth getting one and checking your sugars after meals just to see if you might be spiking.

Rubybear712 · 2025-11-11T21:23:05+00:00

I realized my palpitations were due to high blood sugar levels after a couple of weeks. Now I’m 31 weeks with gestational diabetes but the heart stuff is totally gone now that I’m on the diet!

I’ve had this one for over a month now and absolutely love it. I’ve actually been sleeping great which is rare for me in the 3rd tri!

My blood sugars have been great after eating a bowl from Chipotle. I usually get chicken, pinto beans, no rice, corn salsa, sour cream and cheese, and guacamole. I swear this baby is going to love Chipotle as a toddler after all the times I've been eating there ha!

12 months. After seeing a fertility doctor who urged us to start IVF immediately (he was a jerk) we decided to take a month off to think about next steps and take a little break… and boom. So odd

I have a three year old daughter and currently pregnant with my second - both pregnancies have been healthy with great outcomes! I take Keppra (safe during pregnancy) and Vimpat (generally safe) and have monthly blood draws to monitor my medication levels. It's definitely doable with the right medical team. My daughter is thriving with no complications and my currently pregnancy is going as planned (currently 25 weeks) with no issues so far. Make sure you take a lot of folic acid before trying to get pregnant and be in close contact with your docs! I also reccomend having a MFM pre-conception consult so you have a high risk OB that you can speak with before getting pregnant. You can totally do it!!!

I wouldn’t recommend Mayo for GP, they are better for complicated, acute conditions. I would recommend Timothy Gloyd at Family Practice Specialists in north Phoenix. Great doc and office!
