I don’t know why/how I was so off about myself or maybe it’s pregnancy brain/tunnel vision but I think because I’ve been around my mom for a while and cannot handle physical affection/touch with her my mind was so set on that being how I am in general except with my partner.

But then as I was talking with him I realized I actually seek out physical touch/stimulation (to the point of preferring airport pat downs, 24/7 hand stimulation with soft fabrics etc)

I also realized there’s other things that I maybe didn’t answer properly as I kind of self audited it assuming I wasn’t “extreme” enough to say yes but maybe that wasn’t the case and there’s wasn’t any follow up to share what it was like so they could determine if that’s the case

But now I’m worried about correcting this as I feel like they’ll think I’m lying or will wonder why I was so off. I had the paper assessment and then in person interview and tomorrow will be getting the verdict.

I have the Grownsy wand and using almond oil but can’t tell how hard I’m meant to press outwards (it feels like I’m really pressing hard but not sure if it should be more).

When I first started it was sore but now feels easier where I’m not sure if I could possibly over do it OR maybe I’m not doing it right if I’m able to handle the pressure?

Hope that makes sense!

Is it possible to have ASD but not be someone who’s got a crazy good memory for specific facts and numbers/dates? Like even Audhd

Curious for an honest take and what you thought of the food? Is it worth it?

I know nothing is certain but curious if anyone had kicks on their belly and baby was still able to be in optimal position for labour (eg back to belly)? Going to do some spinning babies poses but thought I’d ask too!

My friend shared the story of how both of you helped escort the geese who were afraid of the passing bikes near mosquito creek to get down tot he water. She mentioned you took a video but forgot to ask if you could share it with her for the memory.

Long shot but if you’re on Reddit thought I’d try this :)

I’m 34 weeks and yes my belly has been popping (tbh from early on I always felt I looked further along than I was) but this week I’ve had multiple people come up o me on the street and be like “wow you’re about to drop” and another where after I told them how far along I was said “I can tell you’re puffy in the face”. Then family being like “holy your belly is big!”

It didn’t bug me initially but they just keep getting more and more and it’s kinda starting to hurt my feelings and make me feel a bit insecure.

I didn’t think I looked that big overall but have technically gained 40 lbs so I know that’s bigger than what they normally aim for. I’ve also been so strict with eating healthy form the beginning so it’s not like I’m just doing whatever which is what makes everything sting more because I have been trying my best.

Anyways not sure what I’m trying to say but just feeling like I want to go home and cry 😞

I’m using the Onetouch Ultra lancets/finger prick tests and this morning I did FOUR different tests within seconds of each other and got:

5.4 mmol (97 mg/dL)

4.3 mmol (77 mg/dL)

4.7 mmol (85 mg/dL)

4.6 mmol (83 mg/dL)

I have two bottles of lancets and it almost feels like one might be reading a bit higher than the other, I also tried different fingers but still.

I technically passed my GD test at 28 weeks but I’ve had insulin resistance prior to pregnancy so trying to monitor incase it continues to creep up which it definitely has in the third trimester (I’m currently 34 weeks).

Also babies AC/stomach reading is on the high end compared to their head and arms/legs. Midwife didn’t seem conscerned as they said they look at the total weight but still want to be mindful as a larger stomach is an indicator of some insulin issues didn’t it?

I’ve been super strict with my diet now and aim to not spike past 7 mmol (30 -60 mins post meal) but the fasting glucose is what seems to be creeping up but I can’t tell with such wonky readings :/

Anyone else run into this?
