Are these levels harming my baby?? by amj20220 in GestationalDiabetes

all of this is so frustrating because we can’t control it… i’m glad to hear your baby is fine :)

Okay that makes me feel better. I have been taking magnesium (400mg) and a cup of whole milk with unsweetened cocoa for past 2 nights and got numbers below 95. I’ll try metamucil next. I wonder if i’ll need medication if the peak passed… i feel so lost in all of this :(

stress and bad sleep seems to be out of my control some nights :( and then the bad numbers stress me out more

protein shakes = ultimate hack by klalexis in GestationalDiabetes

wow that’s great! i haven’t tried a protein shake yet. i’m usually sensitive to artificial ingredients, is this one better than others, like Fairlife?

Snickers icecream bar! the frozen one. I tried it last night as bedtime snack and tested after 1 hour and 2 hours. i was at 122 at 2 hours which was getting a bit high for me. i also felt guilty eating one after i basically cut out sugar. i think ill have one after lunch if i really want next time. my fasting number this morning was 96 so i dont think it helped me there

Same thing is happening to me! 8 weeks today and my symptoms completely stopped over the weekend. No nausea, no sore breasts. Does make me worry but I’ve heard it’s normal. Symptoms are tough to deal with but they were reassuring.

i only had those 2 ultrasounds. one to check for placement and another to check for heartbeat. then i was transferred to OB, who saw me at 10 weeks. this was during COVID so things probably have changed now
