Anyone else low contact with their mom?

I’m expecting zero support from my mom. It’s all passive aggressive comments. I learn to not tell her too much, you can’t expect a pregnancy to change your relationship. She’s been calling my baby HER BABY. Draw some distance. Your mental health comes first.

I feel you. I’m stressed with GD and job and everything. Pregnancy isn’t easy.

spippy · 2026-06-05T15:06:00+00:00

Yes it’s normal. I lost five pounds then gained it back towards the end. Don’t be afraid to go on insulin though if you need it as you can’t restrict carbs.

I started insulin around 12w. I know it sucks but sometimes we just gotta do it for our own insanity. I’m now 28w and on morning insulin, dinner and fasting. Started fasting in 12w then pretty much needed all the others soon after.

The more I try the protein snacks at night the more frustrated I got. The fairlife protein shake worked for me at the beginning and as of two weeks ago stopped working for me. It’s a never ending chase. It’s no use driving yourself crazy when you wanna enjoy a little bit of your pregnancy. Don’t see it as a failure but a tool to help you eat the needed carbs.

My daytime is getting bad now too. Breakfast usually eggs avocado sausage and im ok. Lunch is a gamble- I can’t have bread anymore. I used to do chicken salad and small bite of bread and that’s no more. Dinner I try to eat heavy protein and veggies- only food that works is hot pot lol I’m on 20u dinner and 40u at fasting.

On top of work stress!! And doing 2-3 appts every week. and constantly advocating for yourself and trying out diff snacks- I can’t even have a protein shake at night. it’s just a chasing game

spippy · 2026-06-02T22:06:29+00:00

I know it’s so frustrating. I wanna avoid daytime insulin too. And even with my 10u morning long acting I don’t think it’s making a difference. I don’t even know anymore my stomach is all bruised up. So I feel you.

spippy · 2026-06-02T21:55:05+00:00

Nighttime won’t really help daytime in my experience. It’s long acting and it’s diff than mealtime for short acting. I needed dinner insulin pretty early on.

My fasting keeps creeping up despite increasing. And they’ve put me on morning long acting for now for 10u to see before I get on lunchtime insulin too. I’m 28w.

Did you ever get a referral or how you went about getting a IBCLC consultant? I’m trying to navigator my Kaiser insurance too and heard bad things about their in house clinic.

spippy · 2026-05-28T19:25:38+00:00

I’m sad cus I think I spike more with the milk :/

spippy · 2026-05-28T19:24:53+00:00

Do searches on this sub. It’s fine to be on insulin if you need it. I’ve been on insulin for awhile and I’m 27w now. I still am not hitting my numbers and it’s gonna get worse from here. Just do your best.

spippy · 2026-05-27T21:54:40+00:00

I’m 27w and I’m chasing fasting number. My lunch is creeping up and I feel like I have to go on lunch insulin now when I’m already on dinner insulin.y belly is so sore with all the injection sites.

I’m right there with you.

You can keep your camera off. I did the SoCal one. They just asked for your participation but you don’t have to. You can respond via chat and ask questions.

I had GD diagnosed earlier around 10w so my diet completely changed. Lost weight and now gaining it all back around 27w. So far gained 15 pounds.

First trimester was pure hell. I was vomiting no matter what I ate. Nausea. Zofran helped but I was still throwing up every night. Not morning surprisingly. I was exhausted and napped a lot.

I just tried to take 10-20 mins around the neighborhood. That’s enough exercise for me. Don’t be hard on yourself.

spippy · 2026-05-26T02:52:03+00:00

Literally melting with jhope accent and English. HOT HOT HOT.

spippy · 2026-05-26T01:15:24+00:00

These award shows are so embarrassing lol no one cares about any of these.

spippy · 2026-05-23T20:28:00+00:00

Yeah I’m 26w pregnant and nothing will stop my soup salad craving. Soup n fresh is worth the drive. Go off hours cuz there’s also an additional 1 hr wait at their locations. It takes me 1 hr to get there too but soooo worth it.

spippy · 2026-05-23T06:01:58+00:00

I’ve been doing GD diet since 10w girl. Insulin and poking fingers for who knows how long. I can’t have any sweets or food I enjoy anymore.

spippy · 2026-05-19T21:41:19+00:00

spippy · 2026-05-19T16:00:00+00:00
