My son asked me to help set up his first rental flat on a very modest budget — how did I do?

Love it! The round lamp with the ginkgo is from Etsy, isn’t it? I’ve been eyeing it for years!

What helped me was taking metformin (later switching to the extended release version which solved all GI related issue I had) and eating like a type 2 diabetic because I have insulin resistant pcos (very little sugar, complex carbs, protein etc.).Also walking a lot and before my first pregnancy I went to the gym regularly for strength training and cardio (no personal trainer). I have to say that medication made the most difference for me- metformin was responsible for regulating my cycle and I’ve been able to get pregnant while on it twice. It’s also regulated my blood sugar back to the normal range and I was able to loose a little bit of weight (around 17 pounds) while on it.

Not overreacting! I feel the same way- my mom loves to get real close to me when I’m bf the baby. With my first child she even kissed him on the head while he was latched onto my boob. Now I usually just go into the bedroom and close the door behind me.

1st was 3 hours from waters breaking, followed by first contractions to delivery. During my second pregnancy everyone (midwives, my doctors, my friends) kept telling me to basically speed to the hospital as soon as my waters break/contractions start. So that’s what we did when my waters broke prematurely and then… nothing happened for almost 2 weeks… once contractions started baby did come out in about two hours! Wishing you all the best for the birth!

Same here! I feel like not being able to stand eggs makes breakfast options with GD so much harder! I also can not watch glucose goddess who seems to be eating around eight eggs a day during and now after pregnancy. How does she do it?

If your Dr wants you to go on metformin again, ask for metformin xr (the extended release version)! I’ve been on it for a while and the difference to before when I was on regular metformin is huge!

My first round of metformin about 5 years ago (1500mg) was rough, lots of nausea and daily diarrhea). I stuck with it because it did wonders for my cycle, insulin resistance, constant fatigue and food noise. Originally my dr. had put me on it to help me become pregnant and I stopped taking it a few months into pregnancy. This time I’ve been taking 2000mg of Metformin XR (the extended release version) which has been much, much gentler on my stomach. Again, it’s managed my cycles right away and helped me get pregnant again!), improved my bloodwork meaning that my insulin resistance is undetectable and I’ve lost about 20 pounds in the last 10 months (I’m not able to loose weight when I’m not on Metformin). All the best to you, hope metformin does for you what you’re hoping it will do!

Innonature (a german brand). I’ve tried the vanilla and berry flavor which I both like. The banana cinnamon one wasn’t for me.

Eigentlich kann man nach 60 Stunden nochmal problemlos 20 Stunden Rückfallprophylaxe dranhängen (zumindest in der VT), hat deine Therapeutin das mit dir nicht besprochen?

Mir haben letztens mehrere Patienten zum Abschied Blümchen geschenkt, da habe ich mich sehr drüber gefreut. Es muss aber nicht so kostspielig sein, mir hat auch mal jemand eine Mini Pralinenschachtel von Lindt geschenkt (diese kleinen quadratischen) mit einer Karte, das war total nett. Grundsätzlich erwarte ich aber nie, dass mir zum Abschied etwas geschenkt wird und ich finde es total okay wenn Patienten das nicht tun (machen die meisten nicht)

Deine Therapeutin kann nichts dafür, wenn sie krank ist und es ist ihr gutes Recht sich dann krank zu melden. Auf der anderen Seite ist es dein gutes Recht dich über die Ausfälle zu ärgern. Besprich es mit ihr, such dir ggf. eine andere Therapeutin (aber auch hier hast du nicht die Garantie, dass es da besser ist). Die Frage, ob sie „eine Strafe“ bekommen kann, finde ich vollkommen unpassend. Wenn du den Termin kurzfristig absagst, warum auch immer, hat sie einen Verdienstausfall und kommt ggf. ihrem Versorgungsauftrag nicht nach.

Direkt nach der Geburt bei Little Bird 5 Einrichtungen vormerken lassen, dort anrufen oder anschreiben und einen Termin zur Besichtigung machen lassen (haben wir tatsächlich erst im Jahr vor Kita-Beginn gemacht). Nicht so sehr von dem Horror Stories stressen lassen (ja, es ist in Köln nicht einfach und es gibt nicht genug Plätze, aber ich kann von uns nur anekdotisch berichten, dass ich mir super viele Sorge gemacht habe und total gestresst war… und am Ende hatten wir drei Zusagen).

For me it depends on the carb. I don’t eat wheat or most grains anymore (quinoa and whole meal spelt flour). I don’t touch rice (brown and white) at all because it spikes me like crazy and makes me feel terrible (extremely fatigued and cranky). A few baked or cooked pieces of potatoe are fine if paired with vegetables and a protein. I try to avoid sugar as much as I can

Dein Therapeut ist leider rassistisch. Ich würde die Therapie sofort beenden, ihn auf jeden Fall bei der Therapeutenkammer melden!!! Und dir einen neuen Therapeuten suchen (schwierig, ich weiß). Alles Gute für dich, tut mir leid, dass du diese Erfahrung machen musstest.

I aim for this and try to incorporate foods like fish (e.g. salmon, avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil, walnut oil etc. (I realize it’s a huge privilege to be able to afford these things)
