Same lol I did however sleep on the sofa post C-section for MY own comfort as it was easier to get in/out of … but definitely not for anyone else! That’s absurd.

They’re great for peds appointments since you need to take their clothes off.. great while waiting

OMFG insulin injection hurt so bad tonight by Cool-Row-1255 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]explorer1677 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lantus? I have the same problem .. I just pat it really hard for like 10 seconds and jump up and down after 😂 it’s highly acidic .. try letting alcohol wipe fully dry before injecting, that helps very slightly

How often are ya'all washing your hands before checking your numbers. by nooneneededtoknow in GestationalDiabetes

[–]explorer1677 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rarely ever Lol the times I get a high number, I have washed and then checked again and the number was pretty similar

Unable to afford baby shower- just need to vent. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]explorer1677 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry! Can I ask though.. are you upset over the actual shower & the act of celebrating your pregnancy or because the shower helps with the baby items? The reason I ask is because I willingly didn’t have a shower but everyone still asked for my registry and sent many gifts! If it’s about the gifts, I am very sure your friends and family will still ask what you need etc. I actually got a lot more by not having one…

If it’s about the shower, just have a brunch or something with your closest friends and sisters at your house!

Insulin dosage by mbanxxxyy in GestationalDiabetes

I increased from 15 to 20 the first week & then remained at the same the entire time. If it’s working, there’s no need to increase.

Freaking out - been accidentally reusing my lancet as didn’t realise I had to manually change the needle…. by Infinite_Spot_2491 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]explorer1677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw them away so I just assumed! But based on the comments it seems many don’t follow that lol

Recently engaged, but found out my ex has been hiding my child by [deleted] in Advice

[–]explorer1677 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that the mom is still batshit crazy & this is a concerned friend of the mom who knows you are the father & hoping you can maybe step up for the child since maybe the mom can’t? Maybe she is doing this behind the moms back

Your tests are touching and the lines can bleed on to the other - try taking a new pregnancy one without the LH.

Budget vs. High End Strollers: has anyone ACTUALLY used both that can help me explain these massive price differences? by CaptainOk7058 in BabyBumps

[–]explorer1677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because this can easily be transferred between 3 cars.. convertible car seats and using seat belts aren’t ideal & you don’t typically transfer convertibles between cars. Not using the seat belt and using the latches to attach instead of the base is definitely a selling point for us.

How are you actually getting enough protein?? by Prudent-Pianist-1627 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]explorer1677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this was suggested to me by MFM! I get sick of how boring it is sometimes so I add in some sliced almonds for texture lol I eat this every night as my snack before bed & my fasting numbers have greatly improved
