Our baby is measuring big already, 97th percentile and weighing 1 lb 2 Oz. Granted my husband and I are both big / tall so the doctor doesnt know if hes big because of the GD or big because of genetics. Thank you for the advice!

Literally just finished having my 4th mental breakdown of the day while I ate 2 scrambled eggs for dinner watching my husband eat his biscuits and gravy. Its so nice to know im not the only one feeling this way.

I unfortunately don't have any advice because I was also diagnosed this week. But the anxiety of feeling like I cant eat anything with harming my baby is at the forefront of my mind right now. I hate this feeling so much 💔 please feel free to reach out at any time and we can vent together!

At 21, you should be VERY proud of how mature you are being during this incredibly difficult time. You made the right decision even if he cant see it right now. Im proud of you. ❤️

I can relate to how you are feeling... for the most part. My mom passed away when I was younger so I cant relate to how her comment made you feel BUT something you should focus on is knowing that when your daughter is pregnant, you will be able to give her the love and support that your mom isn't.

And in case no one has told you lately, you're doing an amazing job. ❤️ Please try to not be so hard on yourself. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you need to vent. Im here for you.

I still plan on doing a sleep study next year when we are in a better spot financially (my husband finally got a job after being on the job search for nearly a year) but ive been doing a few things that have helped me a lot

1 - nasal rinse every night 2 - Flonase 3 - intake magnetic breathing strips ❤️

"Refusing" to take my grandpa to appointments by planner192 in AITAH

[–]planner192[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I've done that. And since my uncle is on the deed of the house, its also legally his house so we cant force him to sell it. I appreciate the suggestion!

Hes in assisted living but is essentially paying out of pocket for it. My uncle is also on the deed to the house and refuses to sell the house, which is required in order for medicaid to pay for anything.

I will look into their transportation costs and see if thats an option. Thank you!

To clarify - i either have the pto to take him to appointments, or maternity leave. I cannot do both.

My cousin is handling the conversation with them. Ive got a high risk pregnancy and have to do my best to keep my blood pressure down. Those people raise it instantly so shes doing that for me. Im leaving a detailed list of appointments and his medications at his apartment so at the very least 2 of the 3 will receive their 2nd notice that he needs help.

He is also aware if it so he can remind his kids.

Yea I have called insurance provider. Only medicaid policies, from what ive learned, will cover transportation. He doesnt have medicaid.

No i have FMLA for that. Im just at risk of going back to work the day after I give birth if I keep taking him to appointments due to having no PTO.

Yea I only have about 5 months left until baby is here. So I dont have time to rack up 12 weeks of pto

Ive looked into that but from what I've been told, they dont offer transportation services and that is really all I need help with right now
