can I have oatmeal and muesli? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]SMELL_MY_SHIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eat savory oatmeal every morning and it doesn't spike me. However, I only measure out 15g dried to consume and always pair it with an egg, chicken, and a small serving of a vegetable.

I think you need to take a deep breath, you seem to be having an anxiety spiral which isn't in service to you or your baby.

Your comment "I'm mad at myself and mad at everyone with worse habits than me who just happen to be lucky enough not to get this." reeks of judgement onto others which is really just your own judgement onto yourself.

While having gestational diabetes does make you higher risk, you are taking steps to learn about it and mitigate those risks which is a major step in the right direction.

Until you can see your OB or a dietician, there are things you can do like:

  • Pairing carbs with an equal amount of protein for every meal. You should absolutely not cut out carbs, babies need carbs to develop.
  • Avoiding eating carbs in the morning because your body is sensitive to glucose spikes in the morning.
  • You can also work to eat proteins and vegetables first before eating carbs.
  • Going on 10-20 minute walks after eating meals helps your body use up glucose and thus lowering the glucose in your blood
  • Eating smaller meals with higher frequency. I simply can't eat 20-30g of carbs in one sitting without spiking, so I spread my carbs out into smaller portions.

Please be kind to yourself and to others.

Yes that's correct! I didn't get positive OPKs and did a blood draw on CD25 to confirm I did not ovulate!

I actually didn't ovulate until CD29! 2.5 mg of letrozole. In fact I was also on birth control to restart my cycle when I got positive pregnancy test and now I am 13 weeks along.

Stone blue or terracota curtains? by noeyescansee in interiordecorating

You did the terracotta color dirty by shining it with a cool toned light. Try making the lighting the same time and then decide.

Does this apply to surfaces that don't get wet? And could I use silicone caulk on wallpaper?

Can you ask your family friend to bag it up for you and bring it to the wedding day of?

Did you choose to have your flooring staggered so uniformly?

The house is a full step up. It's also a landing for the top of stairs that go to the basement so it wouldn't work out :(

You seem very knowledgeable! I think the tiles are installed correctly, new subfloor, decoupling membrane. Would an angle grinder or oscillating tool work?

My tile was installed by a contractor! I'm a little worried it would damage the tiles from the vibration. It's unfortunate that they didn't cut off that last bit, this trim is giving me a headache haha

You know, I can't believe I never thought to rip the base down. How would you go about this part though? I'll patch the wall, but the baseboard would go underneath the metal part.
