Part 3: Due July, August, September 2018

[Mommy2apples]

Mommy2apples, I got my glucometer last night and got it all set up and started monitoring my blood sugars this morning. I downloaded an app to keep track of what I eat and what my blood levels are. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed for you that you don’t have it! I think honestly, weirdly enough, the hardest part of having it last time was feeling like I was a failure and in trouble at the principles office every check in with the perinatal nurses to review all my data. They made me feel like a horrible mother

How are you doing so far Ellirosanne? I really hope you can just control it with diet This time. I’m sorry they treated you like that! They should have more respect for pregnant mothers as it’s not hard enough being pregnant.

They still haven’t called me to let me know my results. My normal nurse isn’t there today. [emoji849] I’ve called twice to try and get the results. They keep leaving messages with the on call nurse. So annoyed. I just want to know yes or no.

Gwynn omg !! Tg you're baby girl is tolerating the low fluid. Gosh the next 7 weeks will be a long journey. Can the fluid replenish its self? Wishing u all the best.

Ellirosanne no! I'm sorry u have to monitor your blood sugars etc. It must be such a hassle !!
How are u getting on mommy2apples?

Last night my eldest (4) jumped down on my bump with her knee. Total accident bit really hurt. Was advised by hosp to go in due to my blood type. We were there till after 1am. Took blood and found hb on Doppler. Back here now for the painful anti d injection and hopefully a scan although I'm feeling movement which reassures me. Has this happened anyone else ? I'm not precious and have received bumps and knocks from my other 2 but this one really hurt and I still feel tender from it!

On the plus side - happy Saturday ladies ! Xx

Mommy2apples, ugh, that’s so frustrating. That’s one of the things I really like about kaiser. With their app, you can look up your lab values as soon as they’re posted. I’m sorry your in the same boat with me. GDM MOMS UNITE! Lol

DreamingRainbow, oh. Ybgoodness! How scary! And ouch! Praying all is ok!

[Mommy2apples]

DreamingRainbow I’ll be doing the same thing as Ellirosanne after next Friday. Going to start eating even healthier starting tomorrow though.
Oh goodness glad baby is okay! How are you feeling tonight?

So true Ellirosanne! At least we are in this together! Will you give me some ideas of what you are eating, because I forget.

Mommy2apples, I’m not being extreme, I’m just being cautious at this point. Like instead of two slices of toast and eggs I’ll eat one slice. I won’t drink anything sweet, use truvia in my coffee instead of sugar, smaller portions of the carb side dish, no desert, etc

Alright, sounds like a start. All I drink is water and milk. Mainly water though. I’m picking up my glucose meter here in a few.

A doctor other than my own (mine was rounding at the hospital) prescribed my insulin doses too high to start with and I’ve been fighting lows in the 50s and 60s. I cut my doses in half and am now averaging 90. I’ll be speaking to my doctor on Monday to see what he wants me to do. I’m already eating low carb, rare grains so diet isn’t my issue.

Mommy2apples, I’ve noticed my blood sugar reacts differently to the same exact thing at different times if the day. I’m most sensitive to glucose in the mornings, but my body handles it much better by dinner. My morning after breakfast glucose levels are high no matter what I eat or how small the portion it seems

Bunnygirl, I had that exact same problem my last pregnancy while we were tweaking the doses to figure out what worked best for me. I actually came pretty close to passing out from too low of a blood sugar in more than one occasion and had to eat rescue carbs. It was scary when I’d be driving and had to pull over to eat some rescue carbs.
