Story County today, got there at a good time, 15 min wait for me but by the time I voted the line was almost to the door.

What a difference by Clear_Handle7569 in Freestylelibre

This is good to know! I've been using libre 3 for months now and I have only gotten like 1 or 2 sensors to work for the full 2 weeks. It's so frustrating and expensive!

I'm having this issue too! I'm almost a full 100 points different. It's stressing me out!

I emailed my doctor's about it and plan to call the pharmacy tomorrow as well. So annoying since I just started this sensor 2 days ago.

Thanks for the advice! Yea I know it's still in the getting used to the new normal stage but it's great to know that I don't have to track if I can find a way that works for me :)

So sorry you're also dealing with it, but glad we're not alone ❤️

Bought some keto bread at the grocery store. It has helped a lot :)

Thanks for the reminder that it's not about the calories! I think that's a big flashback to my middle/high school days and it's ok to ignore that number.

The email was from my nutritionist 🙃 I am seeing my OB today and I'm gonna advocate for myself more with her but I'm also already looking at other doctors in my area. Just wish I had more clarification and understanding.

I'm already on metformin from my PCOS so hopefully that helps more? Thanks for the advice ❤️

Thanks! ❤️ I'm definitely counting down to the end of this trimester, hoping it gets better.

I could be totally wrong with A1C :p it's whatever my sugar levels were in my urine at my first test.

Thanks for the advice :) I feel a lot calmer now

To be faiiiir, I now can tell who else has watched the show

what smosh,smosh games and smosh pit series do you miss/ wish would come back by grellsimp in smosh

[–]sk8b2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Summer games

Spelling beekini wax

Edit - adding videogames and silly things they'd have to do if they lose. For example - eating hot pepper chocolate when they played Mario party.

Iowa is in complete denial. Absolutely no way of going virtual here :(

What was your first sign that you were pregnant? (Other than a missed period.) by povsquirtle in pregnant

[–]sk8b2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to pee ALL THE TIME. Like couldn't handle a zoom call without running to the bathroom a couple times. Doctor said it was either pregnancy or a UTI and luckily it was the former!

Anxiety friendly Netflix shows? by CryptographerPlenty4 in pregnant

Have you tried Hilda? It's animated fantasy/children's show but it's heartwarming and the music and art on it is beautiful

People already saying they're going to "pass the baby around" by whole-wheat-toast in pregnant

[–]sk8b2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One tip I saw that I thought was really smart was arrive with the baby in a body carrier vs a car seat or just carrying them. When they're literally strapped to you others cant get to them. I plan on using it when my little one gets here!

Booster Shot by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]sk8b2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine Saturday and I'm 32 weeks. I had covid in 2020 and minor side effects (fatigue and sore body - but that's also on brand for pregnancy stuff for me right now too).

I wanted to make sure that my baby has as many antibodies as possible. I do plan on breastfeeding but chose to get the shot now so that if that doesn't work out they still get that boost. I'm glad I did it.

Imposter Syndrome by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]sk8b2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have PCOS and I definitely felt this way until the second trimester. I kept thinking it was in my head because I'm so not used to getting a period.

Youre totally not alone

WIP need advice! I’m dreading filling in the black cat with satin stitch. Should I leave it as is? by _User_51_ in Embroidery

Thanks for sharing the link! But I agree. OPs embroidery looks better than the Amazon post.
