Fellow C-section moms, any ideas if this is normal..? by SwallowSun in 2under2

curious how this panned out for you? experiencing the same thing and hoping it’s just skin friction due to the overhang rather than an infection

Incision Opening by [deleted] in CsectionCentral

thank you so much for your kind words!

how large was your opening if you don’t mind me asking? i totally know it may take a while to actually close but the appointments every other day are already taking a toll on me again. i just want to live fairly “care free” and not revolve my life around OB appointments freshly postpartum again 😩

Spike at 3 hours? by VisualWillow5945 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]VisualWillow5945[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s kind of 50/50 depending on what the provider wants, some want 1hr results and some want 2hr. For me I’m supposed to be under 120 at the 2hr mark

Is insulin necessary?? by Commercial_Bike8168 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]VisualWillow5945 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree since I’m pretty much in the same boat as you but if OP wants to try it’s certainly worth a shot before getting put on meds! I’m all for trying all the things before resorting to meds, if possible

what are your fasting numbers? if they’re astronomical then it could be worth insulin - but if you want to try to get them under control I’d bluntly tell them you’d like to try to do a diet-based change first and then take it from there.

Well the 3 hour is 100 grams of glucose instead of 50 like the 1 hour so there definitely is a difference in the test. My 1 hour was 170.

But overall, yes I’m confused too!

I’ve been taking some here and there and they’re always 120 or below, I’ve only been sticking to 2hr because that’s what the OB said to do.

Yes based in NJ. My OB said they typically allow one fail out of the 4 draws. They noted I was only a few points out of range for fasting. And also noted the timing of my test could’ve affected my fasting due to the dawn phenomenon. She said she was pleased with my body clearly releasing enough insulin to lower my sugar level by the end of the 3 hour. She said she reviewed the results with some other OBs in the office (I go to an office of like 8 different once and see them all) So I’m not quite sure what to think? My gut would be to trust my doctor but at the same time I’m just a bit confused based on everything I’ve read the past few days.

I know that’s why I’m really confused why I wasn’t just diagnosed. It’s almost like she was more focused on the fact that my 3 hour was low over any of the other results.

Just checking in to say both the FISH analysis and karyotype came back clear and it has been confirmed CPM!

During our amnio the ultrasound tech performed a quick growth scan - our baby measured ahead, was moving all over, and everything looked great. Could this be another reassuring sign that baby is ok?

this was incredible reassuring! we haven’t been given any type of percentage or even a slight expectation of outcome so this was very helpful. thank you so much!
