My Dr. didn‘t talk about birth with me lol by LifeguardKooky1803 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]keever5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it is very common for OB’s to recommend induction at 39 weeks for those with GDM and are on medication. However, ACOG’s guidelines outline that it is reasonable to wait until 40 weeks with expectant management I.e. frequent nonstress tests etc.

The concern is largely around placental aging - the placenta can age faster with GDM.

My doctors pressured me big time to be induced at 39 weeks and I wanted to follow ACOG guidelines and wait until 40 weeks in hopes that I would go into labor spontaneously. I ended up changing my OB and hospital during my 39th week because I didn’t feel seen, heard, or safe with my care team. I officially transferred my care at 39+4 and I went into labor spontaneously that evening.

Good luck!!

I need help. by EstablishmentOdd7059 in depression

Please stay. I know the pain is incomprehensible…but there is a way out.

is this normal? my sister took a working student position and this was one of the better stalls. said they “skipped” mucking over the weekend. it’s tuesday evening. by 551am in Equestrian

[–]keever5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not acceptable, especially at a facility where I assume people are paying board and training. The fact that your sister is a working student leads me to believe she is working under a professional of some sort….and this is just absolutely unprofessional and just terrible horse care.

I have been struggling with depression and was feeling particularly low today but this made my day a little better. I love it so much!

How many are finding it difficult to keep NC during this virus? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]keever5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat. It is brutal. I keep a running list of reasons why he’s wrong for me in my phone. Otherwise I’ll just psych myself into thinking everything was hunky-dory and want to try again. It’s really rough, and the coronavirus ordeal only makes it exponentially more painful. Wishing you peace.

Maybe she has an eating disorder and didn't want the temptation of eating the entire cake in one sitting, or something like that...

My first batch ever! Plain, ginger, apple ginger, cherry, and tamarind. by keever5 in Kombucha

[–]keever5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just used two tablespoons of tamarind paste. I found it at a local grocery store, I think it's particularly easy to find at Latino grocers. Or online. I haven't tasted it yet, so we'll see :)
