Just letting you all know that I have a reprieve for now from the insulin. Called my levels in yesterday and as I have had no 2hour levels over 7 and only 2 out of 3 fastings over the amount, they are happy for me to keep testing then to call back on thursday as see how we go then. So Yay a few days more without insulin!
Becci, good luck, hope you can stay off the insulin.
TK, congrats on the birth of your little girl - there has been a bit of a freak out in the Sept 1-15th thread that someone due after us has already popped out a baby lol
Just to give you all a bit of hope - I had GD last pregnancy on about 120 units of insulin per day by the end of it. This time round, not a single sign
The only real difference between pregnancies was a little bit of weight that I lost. With DS I started out at 76kg (164cm tall), so bit chunky but not massive, this time round I started at 71kg. Not sure if that was the deciding factor but I am not complaining!
After the stress of managing every scrap of what I ate, insulin, induction etc it has been sooooo great to have a normal pregnancy - it is so nice to eat when I am hungry and I can even have dessert/junk food if I want.
