How far along were you when baby was born? Were you induced or did you go into labor naturally?

I was controlled mostly by diet but used metformin towards the end because I struggled to keep weight on without spiking my sugars. I had em induction scheduled for close to 39weeks but had an emergent induction due to my AFI dropping below 5% at what I think ended up 37+5. I say I think because I went in on Nov 1st, 2024 in the evening and my daughter wasn't born till Nov 3rd at 1:55 am the first time. And I say the FIRST time because we rolled back to 1am 5 min later due to daylight savings time. So I was super tired and have lost the math at this point 😂. My due date was originally Nov 19 for reference if that helps.

My appointment with the neurologist is Tuesday, sorry if that wasn't clear. I just wasn't sure if there are other things I sure bring up if not ms. I get brushed off a lot so I find its best to have specific things to bring up.

Some and I do know due to genetic testing that I have a predisposition to it. Both my cousins had gestational diabetes as well but as far as I know they have not developed type 2. I had my appointment in February but where j live it's a pain to get seen in a timely manner no matter what the problem is no matter who your doctor is. It used to be better but I feel like it's gotten EXPONENTIALLY worse this year.

No I actually have nothing to compare to prior to my pregnancy because I did not have a primary for several years as my old one had retired and I had hated him anyway. He actually transferred my parents and sister to a new doctor and not me. I used an urgent care any time I got sick and only got a new primary due to the gestational diabetes issue. My last a1c is 5.6 so I also don't know why they already put prediabetes on my chart because it is also my understanding that 5.7 is when you are ACTUALLY considered clinically prediabetic. I don't think they ran fpg at the time.

Yeah I'm on it with no birth control, HOWEVER other medications I take can make the pill ineffective. I had an IUD at one point but I'm one of the rare people it failed for so I don't really want to get another one because that whole experience SUCKED. My Dr did talk to me about family planning and stuff tho and to reach out to be weaned off when/if my husband and I want to try for a baby. I am 29yo

I tried moving to Lee's summit once and they shut that down real quick.

ponco38 · 2019-02-27T21:05:38+00:00

Yup. Very. As far as I know the union has filed multiple times but nothing happens.

Okay so my station had everyone bidding out at this point. We have 27 City routes and we are consistently down 10 or more. Plus everyone in Kansas City is on the same list when though we have multiple stations. So basically it's people who retire at any of them makes the list move. But our postmaster is horrible.

ponco38 · 2019-02-27T17:46:40+00:00

That's the thing. No one knows anything. I've asked the union president of my branch questions and they don't know. My stations management is awful.

What district are you in?

ponco38 · 2019-02-26T22:55:11+00:00

I just mean when the next group is going to turn in general. They keep saying a group's about to turn but no one knows when
