5Lbs of weight gain in 2 weeks..... nurse asked what I have been eating lol

 

[ESwemba84]

Sweetz: I don't usually have sugar issues, but you mentioned you weren't feeling well and had a sore throat. I got my glucose levels tested right as I was coming down with a nasty cold, I had a sore throat, and my glucose levels were elevated. So much so that I was retested for diabetes! And fortunately I was over my cold and my levels were back to normal. Just a thought.....although I have no idea whether you have glucose issues normally, and in that case, never mind.

AFM, nothing new. I decided I have half a pack of cigs left, and I'm just going to finish that and not buy anymore. Hubby said he'll quit too. I'm Already dreading the thought of exercise, and it's raining, which means I have to drive to the gym. I don't wanna......but I have to.

 

[Sweetz33]

Es...mine have been screwy for months lol but ty! sore throat is acid reflux I think...

I would have said None of your Business!! It's great. You should try it.

 

[MamaTex]

mowat: TWW here you come!! Have a safe trip back home

nevergiving up: Hope you stay dry. We could use a little rain down here, as our grass is hurting for some!

Sweetz33: Sorry to hear about the blood sugar!! Do demand to see your doctor!! They are being paid one way or another, so they should be happy that you are trying to be proactive

ESwemba84: Good luck in quitting smoking!! I know that is hard. My dad has been trying to quit for decades. He smokes cigars now, which I guess is better than cigarettes just because the cigars don't stink as much. Hooray for wanting to be healthy. Just you wanting to go to the gym and exercise puts you a step ahead of other people!! If it's raining, maybe the gym will be emptier and you will have first dibs on stuff!!!

meggiemay93: Thank you for being so sweet!!! One day closer to testing!!

AFM: Doing a lot better today!! My husband made us breakfast so my day is getting off to a good start. The dogs are all sleeping in the recliners in the living room so I am glad to have a peaceful morning. When my husband is home and off for the day, they behave but when he is gone, they act up lol

I am still worried, but have calmed down some!!

 

[Sweetz33]

My doc is a moron.........soooo pissed right now. She totally ignored my concerns. Questioned why I was even taking record of blood sugars. Asked why I take it before bed. Basically said since 3 hr said I was fine...that I was fine and to just eat more protein. Even she noticed how tired I looked but disregarded it. Then..here's the kicker...told me to have a glass of milk and fruit before bed to regulate my overnight sugar level.....ummm...wtf? My sugars are running HIGH and she wants me to eat/drink something that will RAISE my blood sugar? Told her for snacks I avoid carbs and sugars...unless sugar is low and then I eat a little popcorn. She scolded me and said popcorn is bad bc it raises the blood sugar....seriously? Was she even listening to me?! Rawr! So pissed rights now....

 

[Sweetz33]

This would be my sugar levels...add one down to 122, then another back up above the line and that would be my sugars today....right now I am at 144 and that is after having a very small breakfast of a sausage mcmuffin...But no...I just need to eat more proteins.....riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....I was told by my normal doc do not go ABOVE 140 or BELOW 90.....a normal fasting blood sugar should not go over 99....mine has been in the 120s for the past few days....my nighttime fasting has been no lower than 145....but yeah....I'm perfectly fine....This lady might be good at delivering babies....but she sucks with this crap...

Yes...I am officially in a snarky mood lol

 

[mackjess]

You are right sweetz, telling you to eat fruit when you have blood sugar issues makes NO sense to me....

I had blood sugar probs for awhile. The only time i was allowed to eat fruit was to have an apple for snack after a protein lunch, along with nuts for protein and I could only eat apples because they had enough fiber to balance out the sugar. Berries, bananas, etc were off limits!

 

[meggiemay93]

Sweetz I don't know much about blood sugars but that dr doesn't sound like she knows what she's taking about! If I were you I would see a different dr. for the blood sugar issue!

MamaTex Yay for feeling better today!

 

[Sweetz33]

Exactly Mack! I even asked her why would you want me to eat/drink things that will raise my BG when it is already high?! She looked at me like I was talking Chinese.... My normal doc AND nutritionist said to avoid certain fruits and fruit juice as they will spike my sugars. This idiot tells me to eat them.....Oh and to drink coffee with milk.....Umm...I am not supposed to drink coffee period!! DH is livid with her, as is my mom (who is diabetic). Maybe I should follow her "rules" and when I go into diabetic shock or coma then I can sue her ass....and she asked if baby was active...I said non-stop all the time....she said "good" I asked can that possibly be happening bc my sugars are elevated? She said no....bullcrap. Also, no more ultrasounds for me unless I pay $150 a pop...which means no determination on size so they are going on old scan saying no c-section, natural birth but if baby turns out to be too big and labor is taking too long, they will rush me to emer. c-section. WHAT?!?!?! My smallest birth was over 5lbs at 34 weeks!! *twitch* I hate to switch doctors in the 3rd tri but I am about to.....

 

[meggiemay93]

Wow Sweetz! I don't like your doctor! I would switch even though you are in the 3rd tri!

 

[Sweetz33]

Midwife and nutritionist now in charge of regulating my sugars...

 

[mowat]

Wow Sweetz, that really sucks about your doctor! Hmmm, I think I would consider changing too.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Thanks, im somewhat calmer today, i id tell my OH the other day that i didn't want a baby with him anymore, we had been having a fight, i got all stressed because i hadn't gotten AF and he said 'your not pregnant just get over it' and i went mental, i told him, yeah youre probably right but at the end of the day as long as there's no AF there is still hope, i was deluded and i shouldnt have allowed myself to think or feel that i was pregnant when i had several BFN's but i think my flip out made him realise how important this is.
He isn't very good at showing his feelings but i know he does hurt about the baby, i dont give him enough drecit really, i get angry and say, well you didn't want it anyway, and that morning that i lost it, i was stressed out with him, cos i had found a text on his phone from a random woman, a 'firend' apparently, now dont get me wrong i dont for one second think that he was or is up to anything, he just doesn't have it in him, but at the time i was hormonal and i kicked off, later that day i started bleeding, in my angry moments i probably hold him responsible, in my rational moments i know that our baby died 6 weeks earlier.
THings have been so stressful recently, i just want to forget all about babies for a bit and have fun again, so that's what im going to do, im going to eat, drink and have fun over xmas and just relax and enjoy.

Sweetz: Sorry to hear the medical profession doesn't know what theyre doing, hope your midwife and nutritionist are on top of it now.

ESwemba84: seriously good luck quitting, you will feel so much better for it trust me i quit 13 days ago and it's hard going but i feel like im doing the best i can for my future babies, get an app that tells you how long you've gone and how much youve saved, it makes you feel so much better.

Mamatex: glad your feeling a bit better, just try and be calm you calm=calm happy bub

Everyone else, hello and sorry i missed ya.

Hey ladies,

As promised, I've got back from my 20 week scan and have some piccies to swoon over! Everything measured perfectly, and right smack bang in the middle of normal, and he's measuring right on track at 19+5, so over the moon! There's one piccie of him with his hand to his mouth, and the sonographer said "He must be laughing at me for being so naughty!"x

 

[garfie]

LP - lovely pics - I'm deff swooning

[lpjkp]

Thanks Fiona! It definitely makes the struggle to get to where we are now worth it, and It makes me feel so grateful to be blessed with him!x

 

[nevergivingup]

Lpjkp: THANKS FOR SHSRING YOUR AWESOME U/S!!! O my he's def an blessing. Those piccies are wonderful, and how cute with his hand to his mouth!! Our struggle was def worth it, to go through loss and pain to get here was a part of our path and ma'am we're almost done with one journey just to begin the next!! THANKS LPJKP!!

Sweetz: Grrrrrr....@ that doc!!! Sorry she's taking you for an even stressful ride then you already have to take. I can't get any more u/s either unless I pay and since I've moved to that new office I only got 1 done. Now their trying to convince me to do a 3d/4d u/s for extra $$ ummm I think I'll pass!

to everyone else!

AFM: blahhhhh, today is starting off aggravating.......But I'm grateful anyway....GM Mommys boy

 

[ESwemba84]

Cramps are pretty painful today. I'm confused what my body is doing, as it seems as though I'm gearing up to ovulate. I'm getting lots of EWCM, but it's only day 7. I guess I better start trying tonight, just in case it happens early. I just wish everything would be consistent. Last month, I didn't ovulate until day 12. Hopefully I'm just going to have lots of fertile days.

Hope everyone is doing ok. Sweetz, sorry about you doctor. I know what a frustration it can be when they don't listen, or show understanding about your concerns.

 

[runnergrl]

lpjkp- great pics!!! thanks for sharing!

Got my betas back this morning- they more than tripled from monday! :wohoo!
