I had gd in my first pregnancy and it is stressful. Talk to ur gd nurse and let her/him know how ur feeling. My understanding is that if they ferl ur not able to kerp ur sugar where it needs to be they will look at insulin shots. I found a ten min walk or even some house work after each meal really helped to bring my sugar levels back down. But u need to speak with ur nurse to find out what excatly the want u to be doing/eating to get the required results. Gd is a sliding scale and some women can not control their levels with diet and exercise alone. And if u are one of them u dont need to be beating ur self up fir something that is out of ur control
I'm taking levemire pen 10 units nightly I was doing good but now that they want me more controlled its tough I literally can't eat anything for it to be below 120 so which is why today is my first day with novolog pen 3 units 15 mins before every meal & so far not working for the am part. I ate 1 egg cooked it with coconut oil and a toast my sugar spiked to 139 after the hr. Its scary since this is the first week my baby gets some sugar /:
Thanks for your help I have my specialist appointment on the 25th hoping things get better and I don't have to be stressed and scared and in Virge of tears /:
Seems like ur damned if u do and damned if u dont. U need to eat for babys health but then when u do they not happy with ur levels. Just keep doing ur best and definitely tell ur specialist how ur feeling. Mummy stressing us no good for anyone. If u are really worried call ur dr or midwife for some advice :)
At 24 weeks my tubba weighed roughly 3.3lb and has always been above the average. At my 36 week check up they said 8.1lb again above average with a while to go. Don't worry about it I'm sure your health professionals will pick up if it's too fast. My advice hold off on newborn sizes just incase! :)
I know exactly how u feel i felt like i failed with my bub i controlled my sugar well and thought i did with my levels to but they were never happy i was on metformin than they added insulin my levels were roughly the same. Than they upped my insulin dose than it became to low so they backed off a little bit downing my insulin to at night only. They predicted my babys weight at 10lbs + by 39wks they decided to induce and 8hrs later i had a very healthy 7lb 14oz baby boy! They were way off wuth weight and im very angry they treated me like i was a bad mum that couldnt control my sugar only to have a normal size baby!! Trust urself darlin and dont let them upset you u are doing the best u can dont be to hard on urself! Goodluck ♡ much love to u
This app is not very accurate sometimes on the size of baby. It's just an average. If doctors are not concerned, do not become distressed about it. You have a healthy baby. Congratulations.
I would not worry too much at my 21 week ultrasound doc said baby was weighing a lil over 1 lb and at 26 baby is a lil over 2 lbs and I don't have gd and the doc didn't seem concerned about baby going too much
