KGB - I was on insulin for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy (and I was induced two weeks early). Please don't stress about the insulin as it's not that bad. Like I have said before taking your bsl feels like cutting your finger off compared to the insulin needles, if that's what you are worried about. I even gave my kids (aged 12 & 15) as fake jab (ie no insulin in just the needle *****) as they wanted to feel it.
Plus stressing will only increase your bsl.
You've got through this far without insulin so hopefully you'll be ok.
Remember it's medicine for bubs if you need to have it.
Great that bubs is the right size too.
About the jaundice - not a given but a VERY common side effect of GD. Ethan had slight jaundice, didn't need to be under lights either which was great. It's just very important to get the fluids into them to flush it out of the system. Which can be hard as GD babies are usually sleepy because of the jaundice. You'll find little orange crystals in the nappy shen they wee too, which is some electrolyte (no, something else can't remember) being flushed out, nothing to worry about. They didn't tell me that at the hospital, the home midwife did. Just telling you incase you worry.
I'm tired and rambling now. Hope what I have written makes sense. Off to bed for me now.
