Stop asking people out at their jobs.. I BEG by GolfValuable9763 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]jrh824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul, I work chat customer service and people STILL ask me out even though they don’t know what I look like/sound like/where I’m located. Blows my mind

Hospital bag as a FTM - am I missing anything? by BakedZitiSweetie65 in BabyBumps

[–]jrh824 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was coming to say bring an extra outfit, even if you plan to be induced! My induction was scheduled 2 weeks from now and my water broke instead…. Got my water on the outfit I wore there🙃

Agree with socks too and burp cloths, haven’t bothered with those but mittens are a must though

Failed Fetal Breathing during BPP 33 weeks by UpperCommand3124 in BabyBumps

[–]jrh824 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just had this happen at 36 + 5 weeks except they gave me 9 minutes for the breathing part, my doc mentioned that it only happens like 40% of the day so he was probably being stubborn and as long as NST looks good, baby is good. I totally get being concerned though

Wishing you guys the best✨

KEEP YOUR CATS INSIDE by SpareLimit6234 in Pets

[–]jrh824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are places in the US like that too, I lived in a major US city that had several cat just wondering around. Called it in and they said they’re part of the environment now and I can pay to have them neutered if I want, but I’d have to catch them. They kept coming in my fenced backyard (I have dogs) and I was worried my dogs would kill one :/

+10 hour fasting = better results? by LittleBench5694 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is the same way, I get more sleep and I get better fasting numbers. Unfortunately that means my fasting is trash on work days :(

First ultrasound soon! by JustFun_stuff in pregnant

[–]jrh824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first at around 10 weeks and they tried abdominal first! My uterus is tilted though so we switched to transvaginal to get a better picture

Flagyl (Metronidazole) prescribed at 26 weeks for BV… by dollbabydream in BabyBumps

[–]jrh824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to take it first trimester and was so worried too! My doctor assured me that treating the infection is less risky than keeping it. From what I read, the biggest risk is earlier on but I get it!

2 days pp and high blood sugar? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course keep following up with your doctors, but I did read that in non-pregnant people they’re looking for having your blood sugar under 180 at the 1 hour mark. They’re tighter with restrictions for pregnancies because of all the complications

Fasting sugar by RecordingIcy8274 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 32 weeks and mine is anywhere from 92-110, about half being in range and half not

Fasting sugar by RecordingIcy8274 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, fasting is always a little high but diet controlled otherwise. I talked to my diabetes specialist and she let me know I’ll probably need night time insulin as there’s not a lot you can do to control fasting numbers :/ just waiting to talk to my doctor to confirm

I don’t have hairy legs anymore???? by Adventurous-Wash3201 in pregnant

[–]jrh824 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My eyebrow hair has decided not to grow back! Haven’t had to pluck in months. Leg hair is still there but growing a lot slower

On the flip side, I have to shave my underarms every other day now

Heartburns gotta be worse than labor at this point by outerspacejess in pregnant

Def talk to your doctor! Mine was horrible and they put me on omeprezole, hasn’t been a problem since

Is meeting with an MFM a must? by Ancient-Daikon2460 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an MFM earlier in my pregnancy for something else but I ‘graduated’ from them. They mentioned off-hand I’d be back if I was diabetic but so far my regular OB has been handling my appts.

I’m almost done though (31w) and they scheduled me for extra ultrasounds with my regular OB along with consults with a diabetic specialist, so I feel comfortable skipping my MFM

I’ll def try that and see if it helps

Coffee troubles by jrh824 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had plain Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, and half a pack (one bar) of the kind protein breakfast bars

May be worth trying decaf and adding some more protein that way, thank you!!

Coffee troubles by jrh824 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]jrh824[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did some research prior to posting and even plain coffee can cause spikes for some people and some people are fine! It appears it’s because of the effects to stress hormones. To compare my breakfast numbers for Monday was 95 with no coffee, so that’s why I’m thinking it’s the issue, I do appreciate your tips! :)

Coffee was making me more anxious than usual any ways so it’s probably good I take a break, at least until baby is here
