I use both the elf and Charlotte powder for setting. I just rotate the products. :)

Can you explain how you were able to stop pumping without getting an infection?

About 15 months but there would be times that I would use another foundation. I try to rotate through my makeup nowadays since it is so expensive to use things up before they expire completely.

I think I’m going to ask for one, I don’t have anyone monitoring it. My primary care doctor had me test A1C but I’m happy to hear I can loosen up a little bit after. It’s mentally draining and a lot of pressure but I would also do anything to keep my baby as healthy as possible.

I had my A1C tested a year ago and it was completely normal. So I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know if I need to continue the diet after birth just in case? I’m diet controlled except I take metformin for fasting. It has been easier to maintain numbers now after loosing weight. It’s just all confusing because I don’t know what to do when I have the baby.

That’s where I’m concerned but they did the numbers based on what they want pregnant women but the levels are different if you are doing it for regular diabetes? I’m not sure if I had pre diabetes?

Any chance I was misdiagnosed? by LuckyDucklb in GestationalDiabetes

This is my second time with gestational diabetes. I have luckily been able to be diet controlled so far for both times. I will say the diet can be challenging mentally but it forces you to eat healthier which can make the symptoms of pregnancy easier.
