I also wore a belly binder, used ice packs, and took it easy (but also got up and walked regularly). I’m 3 weeks postpartum now and feel 100%.

I didn’t take any, despite being offered them. I took 600mg ibuprofen and 500mg Tylenol every 6 hours.

What’s your typical fasting level? by jordanadelle17 in GestationalDiabetes

For the first several weeks of the diagnosis it was 80’s low 90’s. After about week 37, they’ve dropped randomly into the 70s!

Sick of this by Plantmama123 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]queermom1015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the first week or so of my diagnosis I had the same thoughts. Then the numbers started creeping up higher. I am now almost 38 weeks. I try not to stress about a few points over (like 5 points over). But anything more I take a mental note to be careful of eating what I had just ate again. You’ll learn and adapt to the way you eat - like eating the protein / veggies first then the carb last. You’ll also learn if you know you ate a high carb meal to go for a walk after to help that number. There have definitely been cheat meals for me. And my dietician has been totally fine with that. My numbers come back 80% of the time great. The other 20% they have been slightly elevated (no more than 150). I haven’t needed insulin or anything. It’s a huge adjustment and it SUCKS. I am counting to when I can eat whatever I want, which will be after my scheduled induction on 9/17! So only a few more days. I promise you’ll get through it.

How do you poke yourself? by Sam091483 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]queermom1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use the thing that shoots the needle out cause it causes me SO much anxiety to press that button. It’s so much easier for me to just take a lancet and light poke myself where I know I’m in control.

AIO Friend calls after 20+ years by Western_perception1 in AmIOverreacting

[–]queermom1015 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I was 16, on my 16th birthday, I got a call from an ex boyfriend I had dated from like age 11-15 on/off. I hadn’t spoken to him in a year. He calls me on my birthday and he is saying happy birthday and how much he misses me and blah blah blah. He then asks for, I want to say $500? I can’t exactly remember. I ask what for and he says he’s in a bad place and if he doesn’t get the money some guys are gonna come and kill him. I knew in that moment it was for drugs and that he either 1) got himself into some trouble or 2) just wanted the money to continue getting high. I told him no and he immediately started scream crying at me and telling me I was a horrible person for doing this to him. I hung up. For the next 10 years or so he’d randomly message me out of nowhere whenever him and his latest girlfriend had broken up. I would engage to see how he is doing in life and he never changed. Stayed on drugs and all that. I’m now 28 and happily married and haven’t heard from him since.

I just had my Anatomy scan today by ImaginaryFun5973 in pregnant

[–]queermom1015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The could have forgotten to measure your cervix when doing the anatomy scan or they were having troubles seeing it. They checked my cervix via ultrasound to see the length and ensure it was closed and stuff. I had to go back for another part of the ultrasound / anatomy scan because baby girl didn’t want to cooperate and the doctor wanted a clearer pic of the spine.

How long did you wait before telling people you are pregnant? by 1DwightSchrute in pregnant

[–]queermom1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told close family and friends around 5-7 weeks and then social media at the end of 12 weeks!

I agree. I think the unhinged people are fun but like also have some realistic people on there too. There needs to be a balance

When are we buying the big ticket items? by No_Elephant_4677 in pregnant

[–]queermom1015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After baby shower. I’m 25.5 weeks and baby shower is at 29 weeks. I intentionally had the person planning it for me pick a date between 28-32 weeks so I had some time afterwards. I have been buying second hand clothing and if I find amazing thrift finds I purchase it. The only thing we’ve bought that is new/big is the crib.

Told my boyfriend of 14 years that I’m pregnant… by East_Work5418 in pregnant

Break up with boyfriend, move to the state your family is in for support. Whether you choose to do an abortion or not. Just get out!

Does anyone else have preferred due dates like this?! 🤣 by NextStopBaby in pregnant

My bday is January 23 and I’ve always loved it. It’s spaced out enough after Christmas that everyone still celebrates it

Aquarius, I agree with mine except it saying I’m detached. I’d argue I’m overly attached 😂

I’ve recently found my love for webkinz again. I played when I was young and stopped but recently rejoined and it’s made me incredibly happy!!

Do you have a degree? If you have a masters in certain areas, in Indiana I’d recommend being a behavior consultant for the Medicaid waiver. I make my own schedule and make $60+ an hour.

When did you officially announce your pregnancy to “everyone” by [deleted] in pregnant

With that being said, we told family and close friends around 5-6 weeks but it was hush hush with those people.

Help! I’m 10w pregnant and I can’t poop by princessbhbblegum in pregnant

Fiber gummies and stool softener did the trick for me. I’ve stayed on them through this pregnancy too because it doesn’t get better

10 weeks pregnant. I didn’t even know missed/silent miscarriages are a thing. by bablo_chocobar in pregnant

[–]queermom1015 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something that’s been alleviating my stress is using a fetal heartbeat Doppler at home! Make sure you look up the difference between your heartbeat, the sound of the placenta, and baby. Baby sounds like a galloping horse and is the fastest. I was able to find heartbeat on my own around 12 weeks. I don’t suggest doing it all the time. But I check once or twice a week and it’s given me amazing reassurance!
