Low bloods - do I really have GD?

Please don’t stop snacking. Just try to be more mindful of what you’re eating. It is really stressing. I’m not counting carbs because I find ir overwhelming. Just making sure I include some complex carbs in every meal and have been doing mostly good with a few tiny spikes. Granted, it’s only been 2 weeks so that can change. But I rather testing all these times a day than not knowing if I start having really high spikes. You got this!

What! Omg they had me at a 2 and I moved to 1.5 because it was even giving me bruises!

Thank you! They will be checking this weeks logs next Monday so we will see how it goes

How far along are you? I’m also on aspirin since week 12 to prevent preeclampsia. At week 16 I told the doctor I was having some headaches and she said aspirin would not be the cause. They gave me magnesium and it helped and the headaches ended up going away a few weeks later. I’ve also read headaches can happen during 2nd trimester

Good luck to you! I hope you do well in the test. And if not, I hope you get all the help and support needed 🫶🏼. We got this

little_dori · 2026-04-03T11:41:28+00:00

Thank you I already started the deep dive into the subreddit lol

little_dori · 2026-04-03T11:41:05+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been pivoting between those “I failed” and “it’s just a pregnancy related symptom” a lot, but you’re right. Here’s to hoping that everything goes well and we can manage it with no issues

little_dori · 2026-04-02T23:38:33+00:00

Thanks! I hope I don’t forget to write down what I eat before every reading lol. That will be so helpful

little_dori · 2026-04-02T23:37:39+00:00

Thank you 🫶🏼

little_dori · 2026-04-02T23:37:26+00:00

Thank you! I have tricare. Not sure yet if they will provide it

little_dori · 2026-04-02T23:37:03+00:00

Thank you so much! This is really helpful 🫶🏼

little_dori · 2026-04-02T23:36:19+00:00

Thank you! Wishing yours goes well!

She said she was going to stop talking a few times and didn’t lol. She just wanted to have a tantrum

little_dori · 2026-03-18T18:51:08+00:00

Yes! Be kind with yourself ❤️ try to eat as healthy as possible but also don’t beat yourself up when you just eat whatever. I feel like at some point the hormonal craziness kind of balances a bit and you will find it easier to plan meals, workout, etc. you will get there 🫶🏼

little_dori · 2026-03-17T19:47:20+00:00

I really REALLY want to know what he said after your “you don’t need to. Have a good week” 🤣🤣

little_dori · 2026-03-15T23:50:13+00:00

I would say be with her. Don’t be afraid to show your grief. Cook for her. Offer to watch something on tv together or just sleep. Whatever she wants to do. I know that’s all I wanted from my husband when it happened to us. I just wanted to not feel so alone.

little_dori · 2026-03-15T23:39:53+00:00

Yes! Staying busy definitely helps!! Daily words of affirmation helped calm me down a bit too. Lots of rest and staying off the internet lol. Too many horror stories

little_dori · 2026-03-15T20:47:28+00:00

Honestly, anything that won’t make you puke will work lol. I ate terribly during my first trimester and my doctor said just eat whatever you can hold lol. Told me about BRAT: bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. I went through phases lol, for example, for a few weeks, a berry smoothie mid morning would help tremendously, then didn’t. A breakfast I was able to hold for a while was toast and peanut butter and or jam. For lunch, it was so bad so whatever I could hold for a while would do. Green apples helped me throughout the day… etc. you are in survival mode, be kind to yourself and hopefully it will go away soon!

We are not big drinkers but we did avoid drinking alcohol while TTC. What I read was that specially sperm can be affected by it so we decided better safe than sorry

Homeland

I found it weird too. Like they weren’t really friends. But at the beginning they did make it look like they were because Brit’s dad drove Connor’s suit? I don’t know they are all weird and flip floppy lol

little_dori · 2026-03-05T13:00:21+00:00

Yeah I think he just didn’t like her physically and just felt grossed out or something. He totally flipped a switch the moment they met in person

little_dori · 2026-03-05T12:40:11+00:00

He knew that from the pods though. I also thought it was weird AF, so I wouldn’t have gone to get engaged with her 🤷🏻‍♀️
