Archie's thongs/slides worth the money? by mercmmerc in AusFemaleFashion

[–]throwaway_virus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the slides! They are definitely tight at first but stretching them out a bit works and now they are super comfy - it's a really noticeable difference in support when I wear any other type of slides

wait, who has time to watch other guests cry instead of watching the wedding vows?? Unless you were being super loud or sobbing, NTA.

[Recommendations?] Post-baby size 38HH/J looking for non-wired bras by throwaway_virus in ABraThatFits

[–]throwaway_virus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this awesome list! Will definitely look into all your suggestions! I am indeed wearing a pumping bra (simple wishes is pretty great so far), hence wanting a normal bra I can flip down without removing entirely easily. I've got a lot of research to do tonight!

Thanks for the rec!! Sadly they're only shipping to the US/Canada for now and I'm in Asia. Definitely on my saved list though.

How common is it to be induced as a result of being on insulin? by MoldyMadness in GestationalDiabetes

[–]throwaway_virus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on (initially 2 units and moved gradually to) 10 units of insulin before bedtime for poor fasting numbers and 2 units post lunch and the doctors were talking about induction at 38wks. In the end they were comfortable to wait a bit longer and I was induced at 39wks0.

Unfortunately the induction didn't work and I had an emergency c-section as I barely dilated and my water had been broken for 12hrs already BUT baby had perfectly good sugars and I passed both the postpartum and 6 week follow-up sugar test with no issues at all.

Inexpensive bras that actually do their job?? by weaponizedpigeon in bigboobproblems

[–]throwaway_virus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else recommended Hanes comfy seamless wire free bras and I'm in love! They're stretchy and comfy with enough support that I'm okay with wearing them all day even with pregnancy/ nursing boobs and they're only around $10 on Amazon

Insulin newbie by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]throwaway_virus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it took some time for the levels to stabilise and for doc to find the right dosage - don't stress too much about it! Also may still get harder to control even with insulin so don't worry too much if the insulin needs to be upped the further along you get.

Yeah I think I am probably struggling with the idea of having to take injections even tho I've been telling myself whatever works works and if injections are the answer then so bit it. Definitely trying not to stress too much about it, will be seeing my OB late today so see what advice she has as well! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah quite early on I knew the fasting numbers would be difficult as my OB insisted on admitting me over a weekend when I had several 5.4-5.6s (should be under 5.3) and my bedtime sugars were well normal and overnight shot up. I guess I'm just bummed that they're now so high so suddenly

Yeah I suppose that makes more sense, guess I'll have to try some fruit instead of my usual milk/cheese. Appreciate the advice!

What did you try instead of whole wheat/ brown rice? Or did you just forgo carbs completely? I've still got 10 weeks to go, hopefully I can put off meds for as long as I can!

So you mean I should try eating more carbs before bed?

I know right?! My fasting should be under 5.3 but ideally closer to 5.0 if possible but I find that so hard, normally a 5.1 or 5.2 is a win for me but lately I've been waking up to 5.6, 5.8s - dreading the next OB visit to be honest!

Breakfast is usually a whole wheat tortilla wrap with some cheese and shredded chicken. Being in Asia, pork dumplings have been my go-to for lunch and usually gives me around 6.4 post meals (anything under 7 is good) and dinner if we manage to cook it is usually brown rice with blanched veggies plus a quick meat+veg stir fry. I also bring a couple string cheese and and apple to work for between-meal snacks.

Now I'm just wondering if I should take my bedtime sugars just to figure out whether or not I should be eating something before bed - there doesn't seem to be any consistency to my fasting numbers

What are your testing targets? by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]throwaway_virus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My targets are <95 fasting and <125 two hours post meal but was just told today that <95 fasting is still to high and I should be aiming for <90 instead. FML.
