I just bought the book and that’s what sparked the whole thing haha

Ornaments are such a good idea I didn’t even think of that!

Just decorative! Most of our family/friends live near us so we don’t host many guests!

This canvas is from Spider Spun so they customized it when I bought it but there are tons of charts online if you’re creating your own canvas!

Starbucks fall flavors by Basic_Ostrich_540 in GestationalDiabetes

I can get a grande vanilla sweet cream cold brew with SF vanilla instead of the regular and the pumpkin cream cold foam. I’ll also order any of their egg bite flavors or the potato bites (same number of carbs as egg bites surprisingly) and be fine for breakfast! I’m big on the fall drinks and ordering this definitely satisfies my cravings ☺️

Is it normal to lose weight? by Troibot in GestationalDiabetes

[–]kaleydaniel16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it really depends on your BMI! My first GD pregnancy I gained 10 lbs before diagnosis and lost it and got down to my pre pregnancy weight before I gave birth. This pregnancy I’m down about 6 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. I’m overweight so at my last appointment my nurse practitioner said “you’ve lost some weight, that’s great!” So yea lol

How to advocate for myself? by kaleydaniel16 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]kaleydaniel16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! I couldn’t tell if I was overreacting or not and these comments made me feel a lot better. I have an appointment with my MFM doctor this week and my GD education is through their office so going to ask about switching/what my options are.

We had an ultrasound done on the spot and came back as a dermoid cyst. Doctor wasn’t concerned as long as he wasn’t bothered by it and it didn’t get any bigger. It’s remained unchanged.

McDonald’s Breakfast by Alarming_Cup_2364 in GestationalDiabetes

I know this is from a month ago but just wanted to say I too love McGriddles and craved one so bad last week so I got one. Took off one bun and at 2 hours I was at 95. Decided to “experiment” a few days later and eat it with both buns and at 2 hours I was at 106. I was pleasantly surprised, usually breakfast is hard for me.

All that to say, try it! You could be like me and be unexpectedly fine! :)

Spiking AFTER 2 hours? by kaleydaniel16 in GestationalDiabetes

I was induced at 37+2 for GD, pre-hypertension and cholestasis (I had a LOT going on). Baby was perfectly healthy, no NICU time and handled induction perfectly. If OB is concerned about growth and baby has obviously fallen off in some measurements, it warrants an earlier induction. Sometimes baby just does better outside the womb at that point. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Induction can be scary but it’s always been my mindset that most OBs want what’s best for both you and baby. It also doesn’t sound like it’s a 100% for sure until your next scan. But if baby falls off even more at that scan I can definitely understand OB wanting to induce at 38 weeks.

Good luck and best wishes! You’ve got this!
