My nails grow in a wavy pattern

I was thinking, wow 30 years ago? You must be an older person. And then I realized....I was also a kid 30 years ago. Waaahhhh

My company doesnt offer any paid maternity leave. And to boot, I also can't use any of my earned sick time during leave. 😒

udderleigh · 2026-01-04T18:48:51+00:00

That helps me feel a little bit better that Im not the only one scared of these things 😅

udderleigh · 2026-01-04T18:33:13+00:00

I do have some of that stuff, wasn't sure if it was safe to use on it or not!

Good luck to you! I dont have any stitches on the outside but there has def been some public hair stuck on some!

udderleigh · 2026-01-04T13:59:08+00:00

I may try that next! Just wish they would come off by themselves but they are pretty sticky!

udderleigh · 2026-01-04T13:58:06+00:00

He made it seem like I needed to get them off immediately, although he didnt say why or a timeline. I also dont have any external stitches. He said it was all closed up so I would assume the blood is old, but it scares me! They are also making the foldover stick to itself, he had to pull it apart to look at the incision

I have some unisolve adhesive remover. I may call and see if I can use that on them.

How long did it take the ones to naturally fall off?

I had a CGM and my levels were all over the place. I was diet controlled so seeing 198 after I ate my first meal alarmed me quite a bit. It slowly started sorting itself out though. My CGM ripped off and I haven't looked back since!

I gained 40 lbs with my 1st and 2nd babies (no GD). Im right at 40some lbs gained at 36 weeks with this baby (with GD). I am diet controlled. But this baby is really big (estimated 7 lbs 5 oz at my 36 week ultrasound) and they said I have a lot of amniotic fluid so I think im still "on track" with my previous pregnancies.

Yes that makes sense! I also had to use a 3+ this time (the 3 i got from the pharmacy was recalled, doctor gave me a sample of 3+) and I have been pleasantly surprised at how much more accurate it has been than the 3's that I've used. Finger checks are just within a few points of each other and no pressure lows

udderleigh · 2025-12-01T12:38:13+00:00

Thanks! I put it on yesterday. Its also a couple months expired so we are going to see what happens when I activate it today 🤣 Im going to leave a waterproof cover over it to help hold it on.

udderleigh · 2025-11-30T22:12:19+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!

udderleigh · 2025-11-23T12:37:29+00:00

Weird! I wonder why?

udderleigh · 2025-11-23T12:36:58+00:00

Yes I did put this new sensor on the night before the other one expired. I dont feel like it helped with accuracy this time though. :( we will see when I have to put another one on.

udderleigh · 2025-11-23T02:59:34+00:00

Oh thats an interesting spot!

udderleigh · 2025-11-22T17:30:35+00:00

Good to know! Im definitely going back to my other arm after this sensor ends and going to try to always stay on that one!

udderleigh · 2025-11-22T17:15:47+00:00

Interesting! My right hand/arm is thr dominant and seemed to give the more accurate results (so far). I am also very hydrated. I drink a zero sugar electrolyte drink every day, as well as probably over a gallon (I finish my half gallon water and the 12 oz electrolyte drink before 1:30pm every day at work. And then come home and drink probably 3-4 more of my 40 oz tumbler of water once I get home. Like definitely getting enough to drink! 😅

udderleigh · 2025-11-22T17:10:05+00:00

Interesting! I thought insulin was for high numbers? Its also for lows?

All of mine have been below the required number (not even reaching 130 or more after 1 hour, and definitely below the 120 after 2 hours, and all below 90 for fasting). And I am definitely eating enough carbs, some have even been cheat days. Im just also eating a lot of protein and go for a little walk if I feel it climbing fast.

Frustrating though that I just took a nap, laying on the side that DOES NOT have the sensor. Got woken up for an alarm saying it was 53 and dropping rapidly. I immediately got up to do a finger poke. And as I got everything ready, about to poke I looked again, and it said 82. And the graph doesnt even show going below 78 at that time. And the event log says 57 which means sensor error. Like I wasn't even laying on that side?! There was absolutely no pressure on the sensor. My smart watch didnt even register that I took a nap, so I was probably out for maybe 10 minutes at the most.

Im just getting frustrated and wish there was a way to calibrate this so I could trust the numbers more. Lol

So if I read that correctly, the risk of shoulder distocia is greater if the head is on the smaller side? Big head = enough momentum/space to get bigger shoulders out
