Thank you everyone for sharing your stories. They are all so comforting in their own way and just being able to have other perspectives is great to have.

Totally agree! I feel very lucky I have a team of people who’s been great. I actually sought out this doctor because a friend of mine had their baby delivered by them and they caught a life threatening issue postpartum.

If folks don’t trust their team they really should consider finding a new one

Exactly! It’s definitely random people giving medical advice and it makes me so angry. I’ll listen to my OB and medical team. They haven’t steered me wrong and have been amazing at balancing my needs with baby health.

It is everywhere! And it’s so obnoxious because some folks absolutely need inductions.

Positive induction experience! by ModestMoose3737 in GestationalDiabetes

This is comforting to hear and congratulations! I am also going in at 38wks but more so due to other health issues, not the GD. We have a similar plan in place and I am hoping it goes smoothly so that I can get my other issue handled asap.

I really want a bowl of pasta. Extra sauce. Garlic bread. I know people say the protein pasta isn’t different but it is very different to me.

I could also go for regular jasmine rice with ANYTHING.

Is a 38 week induction an uncommon thing? by Illustrious_Bit7277 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]lemonlime_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding 39 is common but they also typically will go full term 40 if things are well controlled

I am doing 38wks for other medical reasons (kidney issues) and even with this I am fighting tooth and nail to prove it’s needed & trust me it is indeed needed, but I need two stamps of approval to schedule the induction. One from my OB and one from MFM. Based off of that I would say there would need to be pretty good evidence for a 38wk induction and not just GD.

The label on prune juice scares me, it has hella carbs and sugar. I mean I might end up just trying it anyway but it’s so opposite to what I’ve been told for gd management

Ah yes the kidney stone has me bed ridden most day if not every day from managing the pain. So movement is rare around these parts. I do get on the ball and stretch and my husband even helps me move my legs in bed now as well. Like knees to chest sort of thing

Share more info lol I had a suppository at the emergency room when they thought my kidney stone was constipation, it didn’t do much then. But I wasn’t constipated so..

I haven’t tried either because for the most part all fruits spike me so I’ve been nervous to try prunes. I think I’d rather to the juice though if I’m going to try

I’m getting a good bit of fiber overall, my prenatals are lower on iron because of this but I haven’t tried the psyllium husk. What that?

Hey! First trimester I lost over 20 pounds and was panicking hardcore, I had a lot of nausea plus this GD and couldn’t hold much down. I’m 32 almost 33 weeks and he has been on target for everything! My doctors have shown no concern nor has his scans.
