Anyone diabetic before pregnacy

[nemo1]

Thanks all.

Jaybear glad you don't have to go for a month!! That is rare but awesome!! Let us know the gender!

In the emergency scan I had on Tues, the lady told me the gender accidentily. Well long strory, she was measuring the thigh bone and asked me "know what it is?" and I assumed she was asking me if I knew what she was measuring so I said "yep" and she said oh good "here is your son's testicles"!!!!!!!!! I don't mind knowing, I've wanted to know but couldn't as hubby didn't want to and he's been with me to every scan except this unplanned one!

Pink23 do you keep anything beside your bed as emergency for hypos? I usually keep those tiny coke cans everywhere, in my bag, at work, in the car. They are perfect and enough to treat a hypo and not make my sugars too high afterwards.

 

[pink23]

i do but this one time i hadnt , normally i have lucozade everywhere lolx
how was your husbabd when he found out your having a boy nemo xx

 

[Lincoln Girl]

i always carry a bottle of lucazade in my bag which is with me all the time unless im at work then its only in my locker.

 

[pink23]

i've stocked up and the lucozade is now on the window sill xx

 

[Lincoln Girl]

my fridge is full of it

Keep having the lows again thought they had stopped but 3 days now ive been having them in evening xx

 

[pink23]

i wish we could ban hypos xx

 

[capel]

i wish we could ban hypos xx

we can only dream.

Pink23 I'd love to ban hypos - am getting them almost daily despite insulin adjustments because of the breastfeeding and its a bit dangerous with 2 small children to look after and no one around to help most of the time.

Nemo glad you are back and baby still fine. When is your next appointment?

LincolnGirl sorry to hear about the hypos. Hope you can get them sorted out again soon.

 

[nemo1]

Tanikit hope you're handling it all well. I dread it when I think about hypoing once little one is here. My next app is tomorrow. I don't feel the baby move as much anymore. Like I hear stories about elbows poking out or kicks in the ribs and I've not experienced any of that so getting a bit worried so will mention it tomorrow.

Capel I just realised you are entering 3rd tri!! YAY!!! I can't wait to LEAVE 3rd tri. Every day is constant worry now!! Is it moving? Is the chord wrapped round neck? Am I eating enough? Bla bla bla!

Pink23 hubby doesn't want to know baby's sex although he keeps jumping me with questions such as "so how is your BOY today" and stare at me for a reaction. Lucky I have the best pokerface!!!

Seems like all of you ladies stock up on lucozade. How much of it do you drink as that stuff always sends my sugars sky high. Maybe I over do it and a couple of sips is enough?

 

[Tanikit]

Kirima never kicked me in the ribs for some reason. Will this be your last appointment nemo? By now you won't be feeling kicks but you should still feel movements of some sort - get it checked rather though.

No hypos today yay - guess the insulin needed to go down quite a bit. When I drink lucozade it had to be very little also.

 

[pink23]

I go over the top with lucozade and if sometimes my blood is 2 I can drink a 380ml bottle, but if im at work I dont really get chance to have my carb afterwards so it doesnt seem to go up that much.

Third tri just started and I want it over. I can't remember it being so hard with DD. I am tired, my legs are hurting. And I am worried from the moment I decided to have another baby. I had problems during delivery and DD is disabled because of it. I am terrified of giving birth again.

 

[pink23]

i hope you feel better soon capel. Have you got any pain relief for your legs? xx

 

[nemo1]

Oh Capel I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly. If you're scared of the delivery (which I am sure will be fine) what do you think about c section? A lot of people prefer it as it's easier on the baby and the cut they make is so small apparently.

Tanikit your daughter has an amazing name!

i drink at least half a small bottle when hypoing. Sometimes its the right amount and other times it sends me sky high. I cant win!

bless you hun, i know how your feeling.

As nemo said have you thought about a planned section? Ive asked for one as my labour with my daughter was so long and drawn out after being induced and she still got stuck ( as she was big) so i ended up with a section in the end. I dont want the same to happen again and a section will be easier so i can plan around the date they give me for my daughter as we have no family close by to rely to if i went into labour on my own.

 

[nemo1]

F******************CCKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Sorry, I never swear but thats the only word going round and round in my head.

I am being induced tomorrow. (more swear words).

I had my usual antenatal checkup and mentioned the hardly no movement. So they strapped me on CTG again. In 30 mins baby moved 7 times which is wonderful. After CTG, I went back to see the diab doc and the obs doc. Told them, yes ok it moved now but generally it doesn't. The obs lady was "ok we'll induce you" and starting punching keyboard. I expected a date next week when I am 38 weeks but then she was "come in to the mat ward tomorrow morning to be induced". I was totally speechless. I even said look I am happy to wait a week. The obs lady's assistant even said "she's 37, do you want to do it this week?" but the obs lady said "yes it's no problem".

I am so so so scared and not ready. If the baby comes out small or has problems with lungs or something I will never forgive myself.

 

[pink23]

Im sure baby will be fine nemo and theres plenty of help on hand. I had caleb at 36 weeks , he did have fluid on lungs because i had a c-section but they made sure he was fine. I know it seems scaryt but you know we are all here to listen . You did the right thing by telling them though so dont put yourself down.
My doc changed my bp tablets and put me on the 5mg folic acid but I had to explain why I had to have it lol. He didnt ask me about my blood sugars but seemed to pleased that I had told him about my tablets and How I wanted everything sorted so I was ok to ttc. Looking forward to friday but a bit scared. Maybe my hba1c will we a bit lower than 9.1%. Cant wait to get my bfp xx

 

[capel]

I will have a c-section this time. But I still worry. I would not cope with the idea of being induced (was induced last time). Everyone I know had a lovely delivery even the people that were induced. I guess it was just bad luck

Nemo 37 weeks is term, so chances are the baby will be just fine. I would worry more about the opposite, not being induced and it getting distressed. Wishing you a lovely labour and delivery and that your baby will be just the rigth size and perfect.

nemo, thats such exciting news!!!!! your going to meet your baby in the next day or so!!!!!!! I know its a scary thought but exciting too! 37 weeks is term hun so baby will be fine. Mayze was born at 37 + 2 and was fine (but she was 8 lbs 11oz!!!)

good luck hun xxxx

 

[Tanikit]

Nemo good luck, thinking of you. I see you are 37+2 - baby will be fine. Hope the induction goes smoothly and can't wait to hear your update.
