Belfie, good luck for tonight. Even if the natural induction stuff didn't actually start labour it still may have prepared your body so that the medical induction goes smoothly.
Belfie - Good luck for tonight, so exciting!!! Hopefully your labour will be a breeze!!!
Angelraelz - Great news on your tests coming back normal. they stay that way through your pregnancy.
Well I had to go back to the diabetes educator this morning for a check up, all of us from the education class last Tuesday had to. 2 of the girls are now having to start insulin. My levels have been pretty good so far which I am glad about but last night we went to some friends for dinner who cooked stirfry but had white rice. I ate it and of course when I tested I got an 8.5. My diabetes educator said it would've been from the rice. Its so frustrating though coz I am kind've sick of eating the same things over and over again. I am sticking to the same things that I know don't make my levels jump up. I am too scared to try any other foods though, even though I know its all trial and error.
I just keep thinking 6 more weeks and its over and done with coz by this time in 6 wks I'll be holding my baby in my arms!!!! I am counting down the days already.
Leigh - I used to have stir fry and had no problems. Was it normal white rice? If yes then maybe try Basmati rice as it's Lower GI. I also used to eat Brown rice but its an acquired taste. I also found Hokkein noodles in stir fry fine but I found one that is in the aisle at woolies, not the fridge ones, and it comes in 2 x 200g packs. If you want more info let me know and I'll try and remember the brand. I didn't have any problems with it and I'm a regular with stir frys.
Hi, Pollyanna.
Welcome to the GD section. I'm sorry to hear you've had to join here, but we're all here to give you the support and encouragement you may need.
I hope everything goes well and good luck with the finger pr!cks and all that jazz.
Angel - That's awesome news about your levels. Fingers crossed that the GD stays away for good.
Leigh - Wow 6 weeks to go. I really hope they fly by. I swear the last few weeks seemed to kinda drag on. I had issues with rice and pasta too.
katones - Hope you're feeling better. It's soo hard to be good all the time. I cracked sometimes too, then I felt guilty, but the stuff tasted reallllllllllllly good.
GOOD LUCK BELFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everything goes smoothly and you'll be holding your bubbaboy in your arms in no time.
I'm so excited for you! Whooooooohoooooo!
with the food thing, i found it hard and its all trail and error. I used google for recepies for low gi things and even diabetic recepies as well. It was nice for a change. Its hard going but you do get there.
Belfie - Good Luck - you must have had your litttle one by now.
All ready at about 5pm last night, and get a call from the hospital... we're full & short staffed, we've talked to your obs.... do you mind coming in tomorrow morning (7am instead)! I'm like... Sure ... means I get to sleep in my own bed. PLUS no-one is bugging us because they all think i'm in hospital. So we have a lovely cuddly evening together watching DVD's.
Drag myself out of bed at 6am ()... only to get another call! They've had SIX babies overnight, lots of ladies going home today but still can't fit me in. Can we come in at lunchtime. LOL, it's the induction that ain't gonna happen. I'm wrapt because every day gives me more chance of having something happen naturally, plus of course my bags are soooo packed. So we're heading off soon (unless they call again )! Thanks for all the good luck messages
Belfie - Jeez talk about dramas getting you induced!!! I'm sure you're probably at the hospital now (hopefully anyway), good luck and we'll all be thinking of you!!!
Snowchickie - Thanks for the tip on the hokkein noodles, I went to coles and found them in one of the aisles, might give them a whirl tomorrow night!! The rice that my friend cooked was plain white rice, so that must've been why my levels went over, I cooked stirfry at home the other night and used basmati rice and had no dramas.
Tennykins - I have a feeling my 6 wks are going to drag, I am really anxious to meet my baby now but also trying to make the most of my good night sleeps (well not that I am sleeping well coz I am uncomfortable and DH's snoring is becoming unbearable).
My fasting sugar level was really low again this morning 2.7 so don't know what the go is with that. I had a low one last week too and my diabetes specialist said yesterday she doesnt know why, especially coz I am having a snack before I go to bed.
