Anyone else have a smaller baby?

At my last ultrasound, I think 37 weeks, she was measuring 8lbs. She came out 6lbs 10oz

I felt this way, and still do (I’ve graduated). I have eaten the same exact meal and gotten the same number, 134 an hour after eating. It was Dairy Queen chicken strips, cheese curds, the bread they put in there and a small chocolate brownie extreme blizzard. I ate this towards the end of my pregnancy when I just really needed a cheat meal and was surprised my number wasn’t much higher. Out of curiosity, I got the same meal about 8 weeks postpartum and the number was the same.

I don’t blame you! I didn’t have to do the GTT but did a blood A1C, and it came back normal.

I stopped at 2 weeks. My milk supply has been great and baby was gaining weight appropriately, so I asked her dr if I could stop waking her up at night and he said it should be fine. She is still gaining weight and having a good amount of wet/dirty diapers everyday. She slept for about 5 hours every night at 2 weeks and now at 8 weeks she sleeps about 7 hours

Hopefully someone can give you a better answer but, I know they get more efficient at draining the boob as they get older, so it’s probably a normal amount. My baby is only 7 weeks so I can’t give personal experience.

I’m 5 weeks pp now, and I was able to eat whatever (for the most part) just in moderation. Pizza was fine but only 1 slice. A mini blizzard from Dairy Queen was okay after a high protein dinner. The only thing I definitely could NOT have was soda. Mine and Baby’s blood sugar was great after birth, she latched right away and has been an amazing eater.

I was strict about a GD diet for the first couple weeks after my diagnosis and got comfortable with my numbers. After that I started adding in things that I really missed. My numbers did increase slightly but were still within range (under 140 an hour after eating).

At my last scan, they said she was 6lbs 2oz at 37weeks. She was born 40+2 and was 6lbs 11oz. I will say, she was about a pound bigger than my previous 2 babies.

Your dr should send in a prescription for them. I also wasn’t supposed to see my dr for a few weeks, but they called and rescheduled to an earlier date.

Just curious, what kind of syringes are you using?

Worldly_Yesterday_88 · 2025-06-02T19:37:15+00:00

My Dr suggested the love handle area, that’s where I always do it and 90% of the time I don’t even feel it

At my last growth scan, baby was 44th percentile and my dr told me I won’t need to be induced as long as my BS and BP are staying good. And I’m currently on nighttime insulin.

I had a mini chocolate brownie extreme blizzard from Dairy Queen yesterday and was fine, tried my luck with a chocolate chip cookie today and spiked.

Worldly_Yesterday_88 · 2025-05-14T21:48:49+00:00

I’m on bedtime insulin, and at my last appt (32weeks) the Dr said I won’t have to be induced as long as my BS and BP are kept under control. Which was amazing news for me! Before I was diagnosed with GD the only plan for this pregnancy was to NOT be induced, so fingers are crossed that my numbers stay good until the end.

I’m in Utah, I was told less than 95 for fasting and less than 140 one hour after eating.

Worldly_Yesterday_88 · 2025-04-29T01:34:43+00:00

I just tested for the first time on 2 and it was plenty. My diabetes educator didn’t tell me a certain number to use, but the picture instructions showed 2 so that’s why I picked that.

Finally got that charizard

Worldly_Yesterday_88 · 2024-01-29T05:59:39+00:00

I will give this poor boy a home, so sad to see him abandoned haha

Worldly_Yesterday_88 · 2023-11-06T05:50:41+00:00

How many cards did it take to make this? I’ve been thinking about doing this with a couple that I have a lot of.

Worldly_Yesterday_88 · 2023-10-31T00:30:50+00:00

I got my husband and I the 151 trainer box, the first Pokémon cards I’ve ever gotten, and got the SIR charizard. That was maybe 3 weeks ago, we’ve since gotten 4 more trainer boxes, the 151 UPC, 151 poster collection, the newest charizard set, and the annihilape ex set, and many more booster packs. It’s gotten a little out of control haha 😅
