▲ 15 r/DACA

Day 154

We on day 154, I don't know what to think besides frustration. I honestly never thought it would take this long. Tomorrow is my AoS interview too, and I'm worried my DACA isn't here and what that could mean, I can't do anything now but hope i supposed. I'm excited nonetheless, I'm hopeful for an approval, and it feels I did everything I needed to do and it's out of my hands, so it's kinda a relief to have all this over with soon. Idk like I will be judged but freeing too. My husband is stoic and just saying whatever happens next we can handle and I feel so fortunate to have him be tough for this. Anyways wish my luck y'all. And hopefully we see more approvals on all ends this week just up late overthinking.

Big baby advice

Hi just wanted stories of people with big babies and births maybe and or if there is anything I can do now to slow it down or if I should even worry?

I'm currently 32 and had a growth scan and baby is measuring 5lbs 7oz, I know scans aren't super accurate. But my first was 5lbs 2os at 35 weeks and I can't help but freak out. Since 28 weeks my sugars haven't been awesome, but we are still hitting the 75% in range every week, but my fasting numbers are 120-140 instead of the sub 95, we are slowing working on pushing my long lasting but I switched over to lantus from trisebea so Endo was being cautious of numbers for a week.

Well mfm said I'm doing what I can and sometimes diabetic babies just get big no matter how hard you try and so that put me at ease. They think I can still make it to 37 weeks if my gestational hyper tension doesn't turn into pre e. (never had hypertension outside of pregnancy so they said we can't treat it besides baby aspirin) Regular ob, says we really want to focus on making it to 34 weeks at least and that maybe 35 is more realistic. I trust my med team and will what's best but that's how the different docs stand.

I guess those who have had babies did anyone have anything like this, I'm just shocked how much baby has grown since last scan and how they will definitely be bigger than my first. I'm watching my carbs still and recently tried to really dial in so I'm just shocked mostly.
