Thanks Becci reading your story about not having an overly huge baby has helped. It is also a relief to see that you were abole to have a natural birth also as a c/s has been a concern for me as i really want a natural like i did with my last baby.
Thanks Tennykins i must admit it is nice to know other people have been through this. Not one of my friends or family have had GD before so it is really hard to understand what is happening.
Leigh the hard thing with my DH is that he hasn't been able to attend any appointments with me so he is only hearing what i tell him and we all know what men are sometimes like if their wives are telling them they only seem to believe half of the info rather than if he was hearing it from the diabetes educator or obs he would understand more. What makes it hard also is that his ex had no problems with there pregnancy so that is what he knows easy pregnancies.
Well i had my appointment yesterday both with the Ob and Diabetes Professor and they have increased my insulin to nearly double the amount as my levels are still all over the place. My fundas height is 36 weeks when i am only 32+2 weeks, so they are sending me for a growth scan on Monday...i am keeping my fingers crossed that alot of it is fluid. As i am on insulin they seem to think that they may indcue me at 38 weeks but i guess i will know more the closer it gets.
Quick question when any of you were or are on insulin did you find that you are extremely tired and very lightheaded when your numbers were not on target? Does anyone know if stress can elevate your levels? Does anyone have diabetes meal plan that you may have used that also helped with reducing levels?
Thank you everyone for listening to me, it is nice to know you are all out there.
