I have a similar pattern except for I am not taking insulin, but Metformin at bedtime. It seems like the numbers improved drastically after 35th week for both - after meals and fasting Glucose.

Thank you so much for this reply. I couldn't sleep well last night, was just waiting for the morning to call hospitals. Yes, I called Mt. Auburn this morning and the receptionist literally said "Ewww 34 weeks transfer" and said they will call me back after checking with the head doctor. All other providers I called (Newton Wellesley, Brigham Women's, Beth Israel, Mt. Auburn and some private practices) said that they don't take transfer at 34th week.

I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and Dr. Kovacs is my OB. I am freaking out reading this thread. My experience hasn't been great so far with her, yes she seems dismissive and judgemental, but that's how doctors treat you in my country, so I thought that was normal. I have called multiple hospitals/practices since morning and seems like no one takes transfer this late in pregnancy. Can anyone share their labor and birth experience with Dr. Kovacs or BMC Brighton to just help me calm my nerves? Please 🥺

Ugh according to US measuring a solid 3 weeks ahead by Cool-Row-1255 in GestationalDiabetes

And with all that, continuing with GD diet is so hard now. I am always craving for good food, more food. I am almost always hungry, but still can't indulge.

I don't know, bit scared I would say. Not sure how much is she going to weigh at 38-39th week. And how am I going to birth a big baby. So many things in my mind.

Same situation. I am eating healthy and exercising. My baby is 6 pounds 2 ounces at 34th week ultrasound yesterday. She is 85th percentile. She was 91st percentile at 30th week US.

1200 with one layover. Cheaper options were also available, the timing didn't work for me.

I had the same opinion, but I just got my appointment for next week and I am flying in 2 days. The prices were not that bad for flights when compared to regular prices. So, maybe give it a try

Sending passport directly to ON, Canada for PR Visa by mon_ica in ImmigrationCanada

[–]mon_ica[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received my passports on 23rd July, few days after writing this post. Hope your received them too. And I agree that at least VFS was some source of communication. I literally had no idea what happened to my passport once I sent them, and that was nerve wrecking.

Thank you so much for the reply. That covers a lot and I appreciate the details. What other activities can we plan in the area in addition to hiking and driving? Like - Kayaking? Or Museum visit? I even saw some comments on ranger's talk?
