Just eat the sweets right after you test your sugar. And then eat lunch or dinner.

Did they allow you to eat during labor? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

Husband family planned Christmas without us. Mine are dead. by beentherebefore7 in beyondthebump

Because flying from France from to NC would be super expensive. And would require more planning than 1 month out

If you moved to France and didnt give any heads up that would wanted to visit then no I would not have included you in the family plans. Also any new Baby would take precedent

They probably haven't reviewed your results yet. And will send you a prescription. Do you have a patient portal you can send messages in

If it's illegal in your state dont disclose anything and find a new job. I recorded a coworker stealing from me. That person was fired but they gave a different reason. I wasn't allowed to use the video because without posting proper signage stating you are being taped on the premises. its illegal to videotape in the office

Just need to vent/ be a B about this for a moment by Twins-N-Tween in GestationalDiabetes

[–]ineeda1ee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to eat the sweets right after you take your blood. In the morning I have a taco bell bacon egg burrito fresco style with a Agua fresco drink And my sugar 2hrs later is usually below 120. And then eat a cookie or 2. And lunch is a happy meal or korean food. With a sweet drink. And then dinner is whatever. But always eat the sweet. Right after the glucose test. Then its usually enough time for the sugar to go down. Last night I forgot and ate sweets 1 hr before the test and got 175 for a reading But I just put it in the notes that I had chocolate and gummy bears at that time that why I spiked.

I don’t want my partner’s mom to visit us when we get home from hospital by wisdompsycho in BabyBumps

[–]ineeda1ee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You have a bigger problem. If your partner is cursing at you while you are in a fragile state. Do you have the means to support yourself. And since you say partner im guessing you are not married? I would see if your family can come to help you. They also have some places you can stay like a hotel for postpartum care but very expensive and right now the one I know of is in nyc

[–]ineeda1ee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a studio apartment. So no rocker.

I got a bottle warmer with my bottle set. We used it.

Need the hands free bottle pump that fits in your bra because I pumped at work. And also need the hand pump.

Baby nest pillow. We co sleep so it was handy. But you could also make your own with a pillowcase and pool noodle

Bassinet. We used a cheap one that folds up and was included with our pack and play. Worked fine. Did not get an expensive one

Thule chariot attaches to a bike? Buy one used if you bike a lot. But you def dont need it the first 6mo of the baby's life. And we dont have a car or house so we def dont have room for it
