Pbn-No worries, totally understand your take & you have experience with older kids! [emoji173]
Lola I still haven't found an answer to deal with my own bundle of attitude 😂😂 and I honestly think alot of it is my fault for spoiling him too much and not properly addressing his behaviour when he was younger 😩 (he's all of 5.5 😐) need to take a long hard look at my own experience (moreso lack of) before offering advice to anyone 😂

Guys, my DS2 is all sorts of attitude. He's fierce and I believe it's just who he is. We are strict, no bs parents and the difference between our 2 boys is stark when it comes to attitude. I swear, he scares the hell out of me. But obviously not enough to do it all again!!!

Thanks ladies seems like the prescription is really working for you. I'm going to buy b6 tomorrow and give it an honest try since I'm dreading swallowing the horse pills! But if I get better it'll be worth it!
Shan I'm sorry I know how hard it can be. Surprisingly it's my 2yo that's the hand full and he's just not quite there yet to understand a butt spanking.
Sooo this just happened [emoji36][emoji91] I am so angry!! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a4731029e3.png

Hi ladies. Sorry for being away for so long. I haven't been feeling too good. My glucose test results came bk and one of them is just high by 3 and OB says I have Gestational diabetes. [emoji15][emoji15] I don't even like eating sweets. Anyway now I will have to see a nutritionist and I am pretty sure I will b
asked to monitor my glucose levels 4 times a day. I m so annoyed. They also took blood for my genetic screening. I didn't have Gd with my dd.
Does anyone have any inputs on Gd?
I am as it is low on energy and don't feel like eating. Now I think twice before putting anything in my mouth.
Lolla - I will be waiting for your results. Hope the ph rings soon. [emoji4]
Ash - Counting days to 22nd. Hope u feel better soon.
MumofMonkey- Congratulations on a healthy baby boy. He looks so
Cute.
Pbn - How are you dear? Sorry for not being here for sometime now. How are you doing? When is the next Appointment?
Hope everyone else is doing good. I may not be very active in posting but will be reading to take updates and will write whenever I
Could. Love you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Miss you sky! Sorry I don't have any input on gd hope it's an easy fix for you since you were so close on the numbers.

Aww Sky, feel better. I'm in and out for the same reason. It's hard to feel motivated when you feel so bad. So just take care of you and big hopes that this GD is minor or you test out of it.
Ash, is this someone close? Did they know your name choices? I'm so sorry!!!

Pbn-"bundle of attitude" love it!! 🤣🤣 I have 2 very stubborn, strong-willed boys & I don't know how to handle them some of the time (more like a lot of the time 🤣)
Dreaming-I know what you mean, I think attitude is just their personality haha. My boys got it from DH of course haha, they are stubborn just like him [emoji12], but also sweeties.
Ash-seriously? How do you know the people that took YOUR name!!! Hopefully not anyone close, but I know how annoying that is, just steals your thunder ughhh!
Sky-great to hear from you! I've been thinking about you! Sorry about the GD!! That sounds like a pain, but guess you have to do what you have to do to keep Momma & baby healthy by monitoring. Hugs!!! [emoji173]xoxo
Thanks ladies. I wasn't expecting this at all specially when I m not eating much and losing weight. Yes I lost a few pounds in two weeks. ☹️
Anyway it is what it is. I m just hoping and praying for all the other tests to be ok. So far so good. Fx.
I was really bummed but I think I
m fine now. Just don't have the energy these days.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Big hugs sky and hope you start feeling somewhat more energetic too ❤ take your time and just update when you can for now. I too know little about GD other than I think it means closer monitoring? But again I'm not entirely sure. Soldier on my friend, its all you can at this stage until you feel better xxoo
Ash no way!!?? What are the chances seriously??!!!!
Dreaming so funny that your boys are chalk and cheese when it comes to attitude 😀 my ds2 is waaaaaaayyyy more laidback than ds2 but boy he has a short fuse and a bad temper but gets over things quickly (takes after his mumma 😂) ds1 will habg onto things for hours, sometimes days 😩😂

Sky will they recheck the glucose test again with a 3 hour? Maybe it was just a bad day for you.
I don't personally know the couple but they're somewhat distant family that just by chance lives in the same town as me so the girls would be in the same school. I have seriously not heard of anyone naming their baby Mila around this area. The mom works for a friend of ours lol hubbys response "well I guess we'll just have to tell Matt to relocate her" [emoji23] I haven't told to many our name but the great grandma and uncle to the mom was just at our family's house and funeral they easily could have heard me throwing the name about but surely the couple would have already had the name picked out before birth. It's just frustrating and with my ball of emotions I'm automatically upset. Dh assures me our Mila will be way cooler lol

Kat-yay for telling co-workers tomorrow!! Fun to spill the beans!! Let us know how it goes [emoji4]
Ash-what?! So the great grandma & uncle were just at your family's house...that's a little suspicious!!! If they heard you talking about it & they already knew what the parents were naming the baby, wouldn't they have mentioned it & the coincidence? Could be sheer coincidence or maybe they didn't have a name yet! It would make me want to go stalk their Facebook page to see if anything about the name was mentioned before [emoji12]Grrrrr, this type of thing makes me fume!!!
are you set on the name Mila ash? im sorry that they have used it :( but it could well be that they had the name already and just didnt announce it even to family till the birth, with actress Mila Kunis being as famous as she is i think most people are aware of the name even if they arent using it, if that makes sense?
i wouldnt let this stop you anyway, here in the UK we went through what was dubbed "Amelia madness" during roughly 2012-2015 EVERYONE was calling their girls Amelia, i knew 12 people who were pregnant with girls in 2013 all due within 3 months of one another, of the 12 girls 10 were called Amelia!! and 9 of the 10 were Amelia Rose!! the other 1 being Amelia Jane, they all live in the same part of the country too, it was the same all over the UK though, and no-one argued over having girls with the same name (and middle name in this case!!) if you want the name Mila then use it :)
Lola so exciting for you :D
im sorry to everyone who is feeling so sick :( i was the worst with my first baby, it was 24/7 unrelenting and lasted 22 weeks, i feel your pain it really is debilitating :( fingers crossed you can all get to the end of it soon
Huge hugs Sky! How did they base your GD diagnosis? Did you fail the 1 hour and the 3 hour test? If not, one off high isn't enough for a GD diagnosis. I had late onset GD with my DS2, but they took if off since my numbers when monitoring were never high, and he didn't have any signs of glucose issues when he was born. I've never had any issues in my subsequent pregnancies.
PM me and I can give you loads of advice and info! Rest assured you need to eat regularly, once you feel well, you CAN snack in addition to having 3 meals, and you CAN have carbs still including sweets/fruit! You just need to rearrange how/when you eat carbs for the day and save sweets for the end of the day when your pancreas is producing insulin instead of glucagon from your liver in the mornings. Don't worry- this will all make more sense after you PM me [emoji6]! Honestly, this is a better way of eating for EVERYONE because all of our bodies perform better when we slowly add more carbs to our meals as the day progresses.

Sky was it ur 3 hour test ?
🎀 2010 🎀 2012 🎀 2016 🤰due 2018
Thankyou xx. Going to pm u after this. They did some test first and that was high so the OB asked me to go for 2 hour glucose tolerance test. One of the value is high by 3 points based on which she diagnosed Gd. I am going to see the nutritionist this week for a 2 hour class. I am sure they will give me the machine to monitor 4 times a day which I am now fine with because it will be better knowing what my body can and can't tolerate. The only struggle is eating in the morning. I just can't do it. I m forcing food down my stomach in the morning after finding out and I literally cry and miss my mom. It's hard as it is without any family around and now this. I am
a very strong person and a control freak so I m just so mad to have failed. Sorry about the rant. I m so thankful to be able to come here and speak my mind. Or else I would go nuts. Thankyou all if I don't say it enough.

Sky - sorry to hear you did not pass. I just wanted to tell you that having GD has NOTHING to do with how healthy you are or what you are eating per say. It is just how your body is tolerating pregnancy. It sounds like you should be able to keep everything under control with diet. I found that having high protein (meats and cheeses) in the morning was what helped my MS the most in various pregnancies, but if you can't eat first thing in the morning, wait a little bit. Forcing it could backfire an have you throwing up all morning. ((HUGS))
kat and dancing - sorry you are still not feeling well. I am still on Unisom every evening. I have been taking a full dose the past few weeks and stopped dry heaving in the morning, so I thought I might be getting better (I am 23 weeks after all). Last night I took a half dose and woke up sick as could be. UGH. Guess I am back on a full dose for a while.
kat - GL telling your boss. It will feel better once you do. ((HUGS))
Ash - that is crazy your name was used, but since it is not a close relative, I would def use it anyway!I have a girl name picked and I don't care who uses it, I will have my name if by some miracle I have a girl ever. I am just dying for your scan! 3 more days!!!
Lola and Pbn3 (and everyone else) - thanks for the advise on the 6yo. I talked to my mom last night and she said my brother acted out at the same age when she was pregnant with me. He was 6. And even though he had been through it before, it was still a major change and he was "loosing his spot with Mom". So I spent some extra time with him and had him on my lap (yes, that was tough) and talked to him about being a big brother and how much I still love him and how special he is to me. We also talked to him about how to handle his anger, letting him know it was ok to get angry and that it is ok to leave the area for a few minutes to calm down. He was in Kindergarten last year, so he is starting 1st grade in August and it will be a HUGE change for him. He will not be going to daycare anymore. So I am sure that is part of it all. We also just moved to a new house a month ago. So much change for such a little person. We will see if today is a better day for him.
It was 2 hour.Quote:

Shannshaff- Thankyou! I read a lot and found out that it has something to do with the placenta. I ate a multigrain toast today in the morning with some nuts and cup of tea and it felt ok. I just hope I could keep this up. Thankyou for the advise. I really appreciate it. Will try to include more meat.
My dd will be going to 1st grade too. This is a tricky age and time for them. I must say you handled it beautifully. I learn something new here everyday.

OMG - It just hit me again, that we could be having this little one as earl as Mid October because I may have ICP. We still have NO boy names. Not even a list started or even any discussion on it. WTH? I am normally better on top of this. I am going to ask all of you wonderful ladies for some suggestions. We like strong, biblical names. We also only do traditional spellings for the most part. We already have Steven, Samuel, William, and Alexander. Names that are out for various reasons are Brandon, David, Brian, Terrance, Jeffrey, Shane and Craig.
Help ladies I am at a loss :D :D :D
O yes sorry meant the follow up 2 hour one.
Sky dont worry its not a huge deal. A lot of ladies end up with this and both baby and mom do well afterwards.

Shan - what about Elijah? Always been a fav biblical name for us!
My boss was excited and laughed at how nervous I was. Then we had a meeting from 12-1 so I was rushing to eat lunch afterwards and she wouldn't leave me alone [emoji51] Hello, I'm pregnant, it's 1 and I need lunch [emoji23]

Shann-you handled that perfectly!!! Lots of changes are hard on the little ones! How did his day go? I LOVE name discussions! Love Kat's suggestion Elijah! Ash's names are great too Isaiah & Jonah!! Here are some thoughts: Henry, Jude, Isaac, Jacob, Micah, Luke, Benjamin, Gabriel, Noah, James, Joshua, Zachary. My friend recently named her baby Charles & he's adorable-they call him Charles, but could have Charlie as a nickname. Did you have any names in mind?
Ash-you look adorable with your cute bump!! [emoji173]Ready for it to be Saturday already!!!
Sky-Just want to give you HUGS! Sorry you feel so bad & have to deal with GD! Rant away! For DS1, I failed the 1hr test, but went on to pass the 3hr test. I know several people who had GD & just had to monitor what/how they ate, but pregnancies were perfectly normal!
AFM, I received an e-mail from Counsyl saying they received my sample and I'll have results in a week....eeeeek! So I'm thinking I may get THE CALL next Wednesday!!!
Shann sounds like it all went well with your ds 😀 I like traditional names too but an also stuck for a boys name. I'm weird though as it will likely need to have two syllables like my other boys and will need to be the middle letter between theirs or the letter that is next by number between their letters. So I have a Connor and a Matthew which are 10 letters apart so going with that pattern I'd need a W name (Ash this again is perfect for Waylon, its a W AND two syllables but husband is adamant that's not gonna be it 😂😂) I rather like William but its 3 syllables. Hopefully I'll just get over myself and stupid patterns and be able to settle on any name I like 😂 H is the option of the letter between their names but I cant think of any I like starting with H....
Ash you look gorgeous 😘 cannot wait for this week to be over already so you're at your scan!
Lola omg the countdown is on!!! You'll have us all tied to our phones next Wednesday 😂😂

Pbn-Waylon is so cute, bummer that DH doesn't like it! I also notice the pattern of double letters in their names MaTThew & CoNNor. Do you like double letters too? Some ideas: Weston, Winston, Wyatt, Wesley, Willis, (Willard as in Trivers Willard lol 🤣🤣) Hayden, Hampton, Henry, Harper, Hunter, Holden, Hudson.
We don't really have a boy name either. We thought we agreed on Sampson "Sam," but now DH wants to look at other options. Hopefully we get a Sophia & won't need to worry boy names! We already have Sullivan & Sawyer. I need another "S." Smithson is a family name, but DH doesn't like it. He likes Saint, which is definitely different, but growing on me. We already have a Spencer in the family. Any ideas?
Pbn dh's cousin just named his little baby Waylon! [emoji5]

Sterling
Sebastian
Simon
Seth
Sparrow
Silas
Lola you are a lady after my own heart picking up the double letter in name thing 😀 I never even seen that and I cant believe it I've never made the connection before 😮 However you've just added another requirement to the name 😂😂
I love Nacire's suggestions especially Sebastian and Silas!! But I feel very strongly you're going to get your Sophia 💖
Mommy2apples my dh thinks it's far too American for an Australian name, which I guess he has a point 😕 but I still love it 😀
Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Nacire-Love all of those names! Well actually, I worked with a student named "Seth" who was quite a behavior problems, so that one's out lol. DH didn't know that Kim & Kanye named their son that, but he said he didn't care when I told him. I just wouldn't want everyone associated it with them & I'm sure they would lol. They film the reality show Southern Charm on Bravo where we live lol. Guilty pleasure tv, so mindless & dramatic. I don't know if any of you have seen it? They named their son "St.Julien" and call him Saint...guess it's a southern thing.
Oh & I think Sparrow is really cool, but DH was not having it! He likes Sterling though & also Stark & Seneca. Doesn't Seneca sound girlie maybe?
Does he like GOT Lola? Not sure Stark is a very lucky name 😉
