Cute bumps ladies X
You all look so good! Cant wait to see more baby bumps!
Angelpink so glad to see you had a good time shopping and your feeling better :)
I think that is totally normal, I felt the same way after DS2 & DS3, DS3 was pretty hard because i did the shuttles mehthod and really thought i was having a girl took a lot not to cry infront of the tech when she said boy, but i got over it with lots of shopping and bonding with feeling him move. Glad your eyes have a break :)
Nahri- I have been thinking of you, since I read your posts about fearing being diagnosed with GD this pregnancy. I too was diagnosed with DS2, and I fear the same with this pregnancy. I am at a much lower weight, but I know that may not matter.
I wanted to pass this along to you- what my OB told me to do to try and ward it off.
Take 200mcg-1000mcg of chromium picolinate. Start by taking 200mcg twice a day and work up from there if need be. This helps to improve glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and fasting blood glucose numbers.
Alpha Lipoic Acid- 100mg a day. This helps to increase the uptake of glucose.
Magnesium Glycinate- 400mg a day. This helps to improve insulin production when the pancreas may be lax like it is overnight. Also, this form of magnesium does NOT cause constipation. I use the powdered form by Swanson.
I am hoping by the time I do my first test at the 8 week mark, my numbers will be good. I have noticed my increased thirst, fatigue, and dizziness (blurred vision) is gone. I should add that my numbers have mostly been normal when I test (I have leftover testing supplies from DS2 pregnancy) BEFORE I took these supplements. I did have a few that were 1-5 points above normal on occasion. Due to my symptoms, my OB wants me to take them. I take the lowest dose of Chromium right now, but I am only 4.5 weeks.
