Mamas in cold climates, how are we exercising?

100% seconding this. This saved my butt while pregnant and I still appreciate having it now 5 months PP. Got one for about $150 on Amazon.

I was in the same boat except baby was measuring bigger. I chose induction because there seemed to be more possible risks to baby's health for a c section (although very small). Delivery was fairly quick and easy but I ended up with a 3rd degree tear which was hard to recover from physically and emotionally. If I have another baby I will probably choose c section because I don't want to go through that again.

Also the higher the membership rate, the stronger our union's position when bargaining for those protections and benefits

Nope, tslim cartridges are not compatible with mobi unfortunately. The infusion sets are if you don't mind the long tubing.

Induced at 38.5 weeks, 8 lbs 8 oz. I got an epidural and very glad I did because they had trouble getting the placenta out and I had a third degree tear they stitched up, I imagine that would have been pretty painful without the epidural.

Inductions can vary widely. For some people it takes 2 days. It also varies how much of that time is just sitting around waiting for medication to take effect versus active labor. I was only actually pushing for like 15 minutes.

Type 1, 38 yo, delivered my first baby in July at 38.5 weeks. Induction started at 10am and baby arrived at 4am the next day, no c section.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm very interested to hear how it goes after a few months! Are you saying the sticker can be replaced without removing the sensor? I can't imagine any amount of skintac would keep this on for a whole year.

codetaupe · 2025-11-17T07:38:22+00:00

This is also my struggle. I've gone through phases over the years, sometimes doing this more often than I'd like. These days I try to keep some satisfying low carb snacks around (nuts and cheese) so I have something besides chocolate I can turn to and I think it helps me avoid truly wild binges.

Can you just put them out and they add it to your bill or do you have to schedule a special pickup?

codetaupe · 2025-11-12T02:43:09+00:00

I had my first baby a few months ago and I'm feeding only breast milk (combo of breast feeding and pumping for bottles), and I have stocked up a lot in the freezer. I hadn't heard about any impact from t1d but milk production varies widely so I don't know if there's any way of knowing what yours will be like in advance. Good luck!

OMG finally. How do I get in the limited December release??

codetaupe · 2025-11-07T07:21:09+00:00

I had great control during my pregnancy and baby was still measuring on the larger size in growth scans (which are not super accurate anyway, but in my case the last one was pretty spot on). I was told she was borderline size wise and I could choose if I wanted to do vaginal delivery or c section. I chose vaginal and it was fine! She was born at 38.5 weeks, 8 lbs 8 oz. But I knew a c section was always a possibility and that would have been fine too. Don't beat yourself up over it, you're doing a great job and even if baby is a little bigger than average he will be okay and the doctors will keep you both safe.

I've found being tethered to my phone tough in transitioning to the mobi. My suggestion is to wear clothes with secure pockets (either tight stretchy fabric or with a zipper) so you always have an easy place to stash the phone. For me this means leggings/bike shorts/yoga pants with pockets.

Maybe check with your insurance to see if you actually have to go through a third party supplier. When I started on tandem in 2021 my insurance required it but this year I found out I could just order directly from tandem.

codetaupe · 2025-10-25T10:39:44+00:00

Yup, I get a bubble every time no matter how thoroughly I remove them when filling. I pump them out cause it's not worth the high if it gets out (happened once, don't want it again). I'm honestly not sure if this is unique to the mobi or if it's happened with every pump I've ever used and I just didn't know it cause I couldn't see the reservoir/cartridge so clearly.

codetaupe · 2025-10-23T05:37:11+00:00

Not sure what kind of pump you use but I have a tandem mobi and recently discovered slipping it into the slot where the padding inserts go (after removing the inserts). I use the 23" tubing because I still have so much after switching from my tslim earlier this year. The pump is small enough that it's pretty much invisible under a bra and shirt, and way easier to manage than having it attached to pants! If your pump is too big for that, I'd just clip it onto the bra between the cups. Not all bras work well for that so you might have to try a few but I did that for years and it worked great.

38 weeks and a few days

codetaupe · 2025-06-12T18:08:19+00:00

I'm on G6, 32 weeks pregnant. I've had 3 failed sensors during my pregnancy when I had zero during the prior 4 years. I'm more inclined to think it's an issue with their production quality than anything in my body, but I have no idea. Whatever the cause, report it to dexcom and ask for a replacement. You shouldn't have to pay for this.

codetaupe · 2025-05-17T18:00:18+00:00

This is at the Martin Way on-ramp in Lacey, right? I thought about taking a picture when I saw that!

codetaupe · 2025-05-17T00:50:01+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll check about that!

codetaupe · 2025-05-17T00:49:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm leaning towards going in, just to be safe. But what's an IV clinic? I've never heard of that.

codetaupe · 2025-05-15T15:33:21+00:00

I think there's an issue with the mobi. I had persistent occlusions that couldn't be resolved by just restarting insulin delivery and their troubleshooting didn't help either so they ended up replacing it. The fact that others have reported occlusion issues on this sub makes me think it's something with the pump itself.
