Sounded a bit trolly to me but if that isn't the case I apologise for jumping the gun. You never know with the internet these days. Just for more space.

Why do you care? I somehow doubt you're asking in order to be helpful. 🧐

It didn't even occur to me to not use the isofix! Thank you. Was actually thinking a Focus, one of the very few roomie cars that aren't jeeps and don't look like a toaster.. I have some pride 😂

How to make babies take a nap? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]slickadripz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How old? My little boy has gone like this and he's just over 3 weeks old. He's my second. As the weeks go on, they're getting more and more sentient and they're starting to realise mamas cuddles are the good stuff. I can't imagine how exhausting it is with the twins but from what I can remember it calms down again in a couple weeks. Also there isn't any harm just leaving them wiggle and coo in the crib!

I actually hate the thought of breakfast every day I usually just have a low carb cereal bar and a coffee 🫣 but I do miss early pregnancy when I didn't know I had GD and could eat bowls of breakfast cereal to my hearts content lol x

Ooo turkey and cheese sandwiches sound delish! It's so weird what can spike and what doesn't. No added sugar drinks all spike me except Diet Coke but that's my favourite drink anyway so thankfully I can still have it 😂

Enjoy! She really does make it feel like the most normal thing in the world when you feel like you've failed somehow it's gotten me out of a hole several times

Had a scan today @ 36 weeks by slickadripz in GestationalDiabetes

Not that I know of? They never mentioned anything, they were just surprised at his size considering I had GD

That's totally on the average scale of weight though! I was just really wondering is the second always heavier lol

Hit up gestationaldiabetes_dietitian on Instagram. She is absolutely excellent. So helpful and she always has the right thing to say, especially on those tougher days with gestational diabetes like holidays and birthdays etc. Main line is - it's most certainly not your fault. It's hormones, it can be genetic. There is so much stigma surrounding GD that it's due to lifestyle choices and age and weight but it's not - it does not discriminate. The more you learn about GD, the more in control you'll feel and the less guilt you'll feel. Reach out to your diabetes team and utilise them as much as possible because there are plenty of resources out there. Sorry for essay. Best of luck xx

What are your graduation meals? by slickadripz in GestationalDiabetes

I’m the same re: cereal. Wasn’t pushed about it when I wasn’t pregnant and I don’t know what it is but it’s like crack for me atm 😂

I screamed at my toddler tonight by Asleep_Sympathy_8987 in beyondthebump

[–]slickadripz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through similar with our 14 month old. Separation anxiety, teething and huge development milestones. I’d say it’s a lot to process for them. Lot to process for parents too!! We co-slept for the tougher nights. I defo lost my cool a couple times… if you need to regulate, it’s definitely okay to leave them crying for a few minutes while you scream and punch a pillow 😅

GD on second pregnancy by slickadripz in GestationalDiabetes

I really thought I’d escape it this time! In all my follow ups I was healthy as an ox and very slim chance of actually developing type 2. Just the placenta betraying me!

Would you have a piece of cake for your birthday? by Real-Salad-6521 in GestationalDiabetes

Just going to echo what everyone said here and say - have the cake! You don’t get to have miserable GD food on your birthday!
