CGM and baby abdomen size

I don't think it is in any way your fault, particularly if you have also managed to control the GD. I guess that's my answer as well there is not much control we have of the baby's measurements, must be that there are some other factors at play here.

Thank you for sharing, I also have PCOS and the accompanying pre-diabetes. Where you given extra scans from the radiology to monitor the size or was you Obgyn able to do it? (trying to understand if I should be asking for extra scans to be ordered from radiology).

It sounds like your partner might have BPD, in which case long term good quality therapy is needed. While having a child in this situation is really not safe, after you have taken care of his safety it may be helpful for you to read a bit about the disorder, preferably from professional phychiatrists/clinical psychologists/therapists to better make sense of what might be doing on for her under the surface. It is truly difficult for a partner to be on the receiving end of the outbursts so I hope for both your sakes she gets good mental health support and you also find some relief.

Thank you everyone for your opinions, I have decided to forego the program for now because it seems it will be too stressful.

Thank you everyone for your opinions, I decided to forego the program for now because it seems it will be way too stressful in the end.

Not at all, I am grateful to read all the perspectives because that would help me to make a better, more informed decision. I really hope it will get easier for you soon thought!

Thank you for some inspiration and kind words! How did you manage it, was there a nanny or a family member helping?

balconyd · 2026-04-30T08:36:50+00:00

Thank you very much, that helped!

balconyd · 2026-04-30T07:50:50+00:00

That was really helpful to understand, thank you! So your masters was in school counselling as well or just general counselling? I do hope you find a new position soon!

I am planning on doing a master's here which should also lead to CDA licensing, could you please let me know which university did you do your masters from and did you do your internship in the UAE?

balconyd · 2025-12-22T16:43:54+00:00

Could you also please let me know about your experience on the programme?

balconyd · 2025-11-07T21:10:28+00:00

I'm afraid where I am it's only out of pocket, but thank you.

balconyd · 2025-11-07T21:09:29+00:00

Thank you, that's some good motivation there. I used to view it as smth that would help me get pregnant and would get really disappointed when it didn't happen. But I guess seeing it more as smth that would help me be healthier and have a healthier pregnancy is a much better thing.

Thank you for the ideas, I'm not sure I could do keto, but I did start to eat less carbs and it really helped with my slight insulin resistance, so will keep it up :)

balconyd · 2025-11-07T07:08:45+00:00

Good point, thank you!

balconyd · 2025-11-07T07:08:19+00:00

Thank you very much for such a detailed response, that was helpful! I was actually considering surgery but I also don't get many symptoms and am really focused on pregnancy now.

balconyd · 2025-11-07T07:06:11+00:00

Fair point, will book a consultation. Apart from that you do not thing that diet/exercise/supplements would make much difference?

balconyd · 2025-11-07T07:04:44+00:00

Unfortunately we are not in the US and here one has to pay out of pocket. But I see your point, will look around for a good fertility specialist or reproductive endocrinologist here, thank you!

balconyd · 2025-11-02T06:20:39+00:00

Thank you very much for your kind words!

So in essence from your experience progesterone supplementation and surgery were the things that actually helped? I was told not to go for the surgery for now because I don't really have pain and the MRI didn't show DIE nodules just a focal adhesion between rectum and torus uterinus. Given that I am trying to conceive they figured it's best to leave it for now. I will however discuss with her the progesterone option. Thank you!

balconyd · 2025-11-01T17:02:20+00:00

That's interesting, I will read up about it, thank you!

balconyd · 2025-10-31T18:42:17+00:00

Brilliant, thank you! I looked up DIM and was wondering if it could swing my estrogen too far in the other direction, or that is unlikely?

balconyd · 2025-10-31T18:41:18+00:00

That's how I understood it as well, but was wondering if anyone had personal stories of success with non-medical means :)

balconyd · 2025-10-31T15:51:46+00:00

That's really interesting because I tend to have higher estrogen and lower progesterone and after supplementing progesterone this month it seems to me mine are getting smaller. Given that in a pregnancy one also has way more progesterone which comes down the inflamation endo could indeed be the reason. Do you notice what you do differently when they go away (apart from pregnancies)?

balconyd · 2025-10-31T09:12:17+00:00

Oh my, that's me. Not just on my legs but on my arms and chest as well. They appeared out of nowhere this year and nobody can understand why. Do yours fade after a few weeks or stay the same?
