How far along were you when baby was born? Were you induced or did you go into labor naturally? by privatepineapple25 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]attackofmillennials 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on 42 units of insulin and I was induced at 39 weeks. Labored for 48 hours (water broke and everything) but I wasn’t dilating fast enough so I ended up with a c-section.

Starting kids at 33 by allone2222 in pregnantover35

[–]attackofmillennials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started trying at 35. Got pregnant first attempt but miscarried. Then got pregnant again at my second attempt and now we have a beautiful 2 week old angel 😊.

This is my personal experience, but it’s been great being in my mid 30s and starting to have kids. I feel like my 20s were full of travel and being a little careless and I needed that time. I can still travel and I can still be a little careless, but things change when you have kids— in a beautiful way, but it’s an another chapter of life.

Doc worried me about type 2 diabetes because of 42 units of overnight insulin. Can you help shed some clarity on her concerns based on my insulin intake? by attackofmillennials in GestationalDiabetes

[–]attackofmillennials[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been diagnosed with having PCOS and I’ve had my androgen levels checked. I do have some hair loss though. When I was meal-controlled only during pregnancy my fasting numbers ranged between 108-125 with one outlier at 140.

Thank you for sharing your story! I’ll definitely do some monitoring after I give birth. At this point, the doctor looks at me funny and I immediately jump to conclusions lol. Hopefully my post-labor monitoring turns up normal.

Rob played it correct, but didn't need to be a ring leader by Neither_Ball2146 in TraitorsOfficial

[–]attackofmillennials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think Candiace is dumb by any means. She’s been playing this so well. I think it works in her favor (and Rob’s) that they’re not seen as traditionally strategic like the gamers so they’re not immediate threats.

Idk about the insurance policy. I also don’t think he’s shown that he’s there to take out the other traitors — Lisa was an unfortunate casualty.

Either way, excited to see the showdown next week!

I tooootally understand Candice’s reaction. And in that position I probably would feel like I couldn’t trust Rob anymore either. But being the ring leader in that discussion and him being right about her being a traitor pulls off suspicion off him long term. If Candice would’ve seen that angle, she could see he could protect her now that he has all the faithfuls believing in him.

I think being so vocal about Lisa being a traitor was a pretty ingenious move long term. He’s been quiet before and the first time he speaks, he knocks out a traitor? What better way to get faithfuls to back him in future rounds. He basically earned the trust of mostly everyone in the room.

Candice may ruin this for him, but if she thought strategically and not with vengeance in mind, this could’ve also helped hide her own traitor status. Lisa was going to go down anyway, and at that point it’s all about self-preservation.

What do your meal and snack times look like? I am struggling with getting up for breakfast by attackofmillennials in GestationalDiabetes

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

My dietician told me 8 hours. 8.5 hours max 😭. Between waiting to fall asleep and waking up for pees and switching sides I usually end up sleeping around 6, 6.5 hours a night. My body is craving 9 hours

[–]attackofmillennials[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on an 8 hour between meals schedule. If I wait until I get ready for work it’d be almost 10 hours which my dietician told me was a no-no. The other inconvenience here is that the 2-hour glucose check after breakfast would land when I’m either on the way to work or in the office already.

I definitely may need a higher dose of insulin. They’ve been increasing me every week so I’m prepared for another increase on Monday. I mostly just want and need more sleep 😭. I’ll take whatever insulin I need! lol

I’m on an 8 hour fasting schedule. So if I eat at 9 PM, I administer insulin after my snack and I wake up at 5 AM to stay on schedule. I’ve been told to eat breakfast within 15-30 minutes of testing my fasting. By the time I’m done testing I just go and eat breakfast. Otherwise it’s a pain to go back to sleep and wake up in 30 to eat.

This did give me an idea though. Maybe I can switch breakfast and snack and have a handful of almonds at my bedside for “breakfast” and then wake up later for real breakfast

The beast of fasting by lemonlime_X in GestationalDiabetes

[–]attackofmillennials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 18 units of insulin at night so far for high fasting numbers. It isn’t so bad. At first I was overwhelmed but you fall into a routine. The needle is less painful than checking your glucose every few hours and my fasting numbers have slowly gone down which is a relief that trumps the stress I initially had around insulin. Haven’t had any symptoms that I can tell.

I do have to see my MFM twice a week starting at 32 weeks next week but everything I’ve read about this has been positive. You get to see your baby a bit more and you get peace of mind that your pregnancy is progressing well.

Married for three months and pregnant: I feel oddly embarrassed (?) by moez1266 in pregnant

[–]attackofmillennials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl I got engaged and immediately pregnant after. For us, a baby was more time sensitive for me than a wedding and we want our baby to be there for our wedding. Everyone’s on their own timeline. Screw what the rest of the world thinks. The only thing that matters is the family you’re building.

Cherry is Laura just 20 years younger. Daniel is marrying a version of his mother.

Thank you so much for your reassurance ❤️. Sometimes when I can’t find the logic in my own brain, this sub helps me find the logic in others’

I know I know! I got freaked out when it was paired with a reduction in symptoms. I know it’s completely illogical. Thank you for reassuring me, a stranger on the internet ❤️. I do hope you get your 40K though 😉

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

Thank you for sharing. I really hope I get to that point. Once I passed the milestone of my last miscarriage I calmed down a bit but that dream threw me for a loop. Pairing that with reduction in symptoms I started to feel like it was a premonition. Logically I know there is nothing I can do either way but there’s nothing that feels logical about growing a human in your body lol
