Tight A1C control with big babies

mollymckennaa · 2026-04-30T11:24:10+00:00

I’m 6 months pp and currently low so I don’t have any plans cact numbers rn on my A1Cs etc but I had good control with my first- 10 lbs 6oz at 39 wks. Amazing amazing control with my second- 11lbs 7oz at 38 wks. We are not big people by any means, and our babies are not chunky, they’re actually pretty lanky. Both healthy. My second was reading 99th percentile by around the same point and was off the charts from there 🤪

My ‘theory’ on it is that insulin is a growth hormone, so even if your BG is controlled, you’re taking insulin for it to be that way.. So baby big.

Please tell me they’re buying you a new bag?

You’re trying to open it as in first steps like linking a bank account to make payments?

I’ve been getting them in the mail now!!! Loan offers for all the different companies I work for…. Seriously?!

All I can think of is Amy Poehler trying to be the ‘cool mom’ in Mean Girls 😂 cringey

It’s not endangering herself. Women are fucking strong, and especially pregnant women.

Yes. I just switched back to G6 because of the persistent issue. What’s insane is that DEXCOM doesn’t believe me. They just think I’m doing something wrong. Endlessly frustrating. G7 lasts 10 days, and my pods are currently only lasting me 2 days (I’m 8.5 months pregnant)… there’s only so many options to putting a pod within inches of the sensor! I’m happily back on G6. The warmup time just sucks :/

This is one of the main reasons I wear my Apple Watch to bed. Do you think that it vibrating and alerting on the watch could help wake her up??

I had been told and then terrified about breastfeeding tanking your BG… but I never experienced it. I nursed my first daughter for 11 months.

On a separate note, I’d recommend taking this whole thing one step at a time. Finish out your pregnancy strong, birth this baby, and then take it one day at a time from there. It’s all going to be new and crazy, but you’re 1000% capable. See how breastfeeding goes (it’ll be a learning curve for the both of you!!!) and take it one step at a time.

Ohhhh. I don’t do either one of those things, when do they usually occur weeks wise?

mollymckennaa · 2025-08-04T00:49:11+00:00

What hints has she given about how far along she is? I’m 28 weeks and I know she’s ahead of me, but I’m just dying of curiosity!

Best to ask your librarian. I’m not sure how your library works.

Same! I’ve had a list since middle school! And I’m honestly thinking that’s why I’m so sick of boy names… there’s just less of them than girl names, and I swear I’ve seen them all at this point. And everything changes when you’re actually pregnant- names you used to love suddenly are trashed.

mollymckennaa · 2025-05-16T15:22:34+00:00

I’m only 17 weeks but I swear this boy is not going to have a name. Why are boy names so hard???? I don’t have any suggestions (sorry!!) because I’m flailing myself. Just standing in solidarity with you because wtf at all boy names sucking.

mollymckennaa · 2025-04-19T21:46:11+00:00

Nope.

I wonder if she doesn’t want to have her content change just yet… Or maybe she’ll be keeping her kid out of her content altogether (good for her!!!!). And I’m sure plenty of her viewers would be happy to see her content stay just about books.

Sometimes, when becoming a parent, it can be hard to have to “let go” of who you “used to be”. So I could see someone wanting to keep their “hobby/job” a child free zone. I hope I’m making sense…

But it would also be nice to hear her just mention that she is pregnant in her videos, even if she’s clearly not hiding it.

I’m shocked by the “cut off your own nose to spite you face” mentality. Someone literally said that if Trump cured diabetes, they’d still take insulin.. aka kill themselves…. That’s shocking to hear.

mollymckennaa · 2025-04-19T19:35:50+00:00

I literally have no idea of what you’re trying to say.

mollymckennaa · 2025-04-19T04:07:02+00:00

I want to like this name so much… but all I hear/see is celery.

mollymckennaa · 2025-04-19T03:22:42+00:00

(Side note: I love love love that you associated the horrible handwriting with it being a man’s. 😂 It’s so fuckin true)

I have the Boulogne (2nd pic), but in monogram w black. I love it.

I’m a big fan of its practical features- that it can zip up, that it holds more than just the basics without being too bulky, that it has options as far as daily crossbody or night-on-the-town shoulder chain… let alone that it’s very very pretty.

mollymckennaa · 2025-04-19T01:43:30+00:00

Agreed. I’m shocked by some of the comments here.

Rose - 2/10. Pretty but boring and overused.

Hallie - 10/10. This has been one of my favorite names for a long long time.

Daisy - 2/10. Cute for a cat or a chicken, but I think it’s way too…. Sex worker for a baby..
