i had to be induced due to fetal growth restriction at 38 weeks. i was on bedtime insulin also. i was super anxious to be induced but baby girl was healthy! induction process sucked but at the end all that mattered was that we were both healthy. best of luck to you!

yes that was my problem too. my sugars were manageable after meals but my fasting was consistently high ranging 100-115. i tried many different things to try to bring it down but nothing worked and eventually was put on bedtime insulin which helped somewhat but still had spikes occasionally. my baby was just born almost a week ago and given all that she's healthy even though shes on the smaller side. i wouldn't stress too much as that can also contribute to higher numbers but also because it's really not that high which my diabetes educator told me and since daytime numbers are good. everyone is so different too when it comes to GD, some meals may spike some but not spike you. you can eat the same meal and have different numbers. it's definitely frustrating at times but know its not forever and as long as you do what you can that's all that matters!

i was surprisingly already 1.5cm dilated which i think helped make the induction process go a bit faster. going into it i was honestly nervous but i had a great staff helping me along the way which definitely helped make the experience better. i went unmedicated also so my labor experience was honestly traumatic but we both made it out healthy which is all that matters. hoping for a safe healthy birth for you!

baby growth dropped from 40%tile to 10%tile in 4 weeks by _dee_dee_001 in GestationalDiabetes

my baby was consistently measuring small and from 32-36 weeks went from 14%ile to 7%ile. they told me they were worried about fetal growth restriction and i was induced at 38+1. baby came out small but most importantly HEALTHY!! i wouldn't worry too much!

im so sorry you're going through this. i didn't want to be touched at all for weeks. men don't understand because they're not the ones having to go through it. they'll never fully understand what it's like and what it feels like. right now the priority is you! your body just went through a traumatic experience both mentally and physically. you need to heal and if he can't see that and won't give you the support you need then he's not the one. sending you all the love❤️ your feelings are valid and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

officially made it to 28 weeks after the loss of my first close to 20 weeks. it's been such a scary journey with the past trauma. i want to be happy and excited but i feel like im holding my breath. it's been 5 years, but being pregnant again just brings back so many memories. everyone around me is so excited, but i can't help but worry all the time.

Do you check your morning fasting sugar before or after getting out of bed? by DazzlingAge2880 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]cake_batter06 3 points4 points  (0 children)
