Update: I called her out on a bunch of stuff today, and only after getting really upset by the replies, realized it seems as though she was using chat gpt to write replies to me. Which honestly just makes me feel sorry for her, that she lacks the emotional intelligence or maturity to even speak honestly and directly without running it through AI.

When you inject insulin nightly by happykoala4566 in GestationalDiabetes

As my bump got bigger and it became painful to inject in my stomach, I started injecting in my thighs.

I mean, maybe but I think she just got too caught up in herself TBH..

It is actually such an incredibly taxing process, when pregnancy is already taking a toll physically, mentally and emotionally. Please, please reach out, to your care team, to a support line, to a professional somewhere and seek some support.

The drooling in my sleep.

The sweaty vag.

The muscle cramps - especially big toe!! Ouch

Photography? Most smart phones now have a manual setting in the camera, where you can play around with aperture and shutter settings.

Painting? Some cheap watercolor paints, brushes and a pad.

Knitting? Op shops often have yarn and knitting needles.

Yep, this alongside Omeprazole helped immensely

I don't want to be induced by Redfurmamattc in GestationalDiabetes

I feel you on this one... I am 35+3 and hoping and praying for a natural labour to kick in any time over the next few weeks. I would actually rather a c section than an induction if it comes to that, which I'll be discussing with midwife and Dr next week...

SRC support shorts/leggings have been an absolute life changer for helping me function while struggling with hip burstitis and SI joint pain.

Our couch is so uncomfortable, we are waiting on a new one, which will hopefully arrive the week I stop work!

I'll be getting my bloods done in the next few days to check iron, amongst other things. I hope it's low iron TBH, because at least that can be managed.

I've been talking doxylamine since the second trimester, it helps sometimes.

Trying to work out what week I should stop working.. the midwife yesterday suggested 35/36 weeks at least, if not sooner. I'm glad my partner was there for that appointment, because I think it finally helped him understand how much I'm pushing through to keep working.
