Edit: it was a scam call, LA care said I’m fine and still have coverage
I had just called them this morning to send verification documents, and then I get an automated call saying my insurance benefits are terminated because I didn’t give documents. WTF? I’m 9 months pregnant!
I’m plus size and just got diagnosed late with GD at 34 weeks (I had normal tests before). It’s mild, diet controlled and scans show no signs of GD yet. I’m 36 weeks and baby is 5.5 lbs right now.
However due to the diagnosis my doctors are now saying they will induce me if I go past 39 weeks. I wanted a natural birth and I’m worried I won’t get it.
I’m terrified of being induced. I have complex medical trauma, multiple surgeries (spine, gallbladder removed, total thyroidectomy etc) and hate hospitals, especially mean nurses and doctors who withhold pain medication. The idea of being induced for several days with no eating or sleeping is very traumatic. I’d rather just schedule the C section and get it over with.
Any advice? I deeply feel in my gut that an induction is a mistake for me, I feel ill labor for days and end up in an emergency c section anyway.
Hi neighbors, I am expecting a baby girl in a few weeks and I embroidered her a blanket, but I don’t know how to sew batting or backing. Looking at YouTube tutorials now but feeling intimidated.
If anybody wants to help me I’d bring all the materials and lunch as a thank you! Or if you know someone who does this for a living I’d love to have a reference!
Looks like I got it after all. I hope my doctor calls me ASAP, it’s weird my fasting and 3 hour were fine but 1 and 2 barely budged.
I’m also 36 weeks… passed the 1 hour at 16 weeks and doctors tested me late + lost my other results so it took weeks to retest.
Reference range
Fasting: 89 65-94
1 hour: 191 <180
2 hour: 185 <155
3 hour: 76 <140
Had the 3 hour glucose test yesterday after failing my second 1 hour by 3 points (first 1 hour test I passed at 16 weeks).
Husband got me food but I felt ill and wanted to go to bed instead. Asked him to put it in fridge so I could have it when I woke up.
It’s 4 am and I woke up hungry, see my leftovers on top of a very full trashcan 😡😭 not sure whether I’m mad or want to cry.
Got baby care classes through the county I’m in and the instructor is anti-vax claiming vaccines cause SIDS. When I spoke up and said communicable diseases are deadly to children she took it personally and said I was shaming anti-vax parents. That her child had a bad reaction to the whooping cough vaccine so that’s why she doesn’t vaccinate her children.
This is infuriating. I am about to quit the class because she keeps saying disturbing things that aren’t science-based.
