Hello!
I'll start on a positive... I am now 17 weeks and heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time today! ️ I've had a pretty stressful, work related, few weeks and I was worried about my stress levels, so hearing it was the most wonderful sound!
My bloods have been good. Little on the low side so adjustments made to carb ratio and basal in places. But on the whole considering the stresses I've had, they are very pleased. I am not bolusing for snacks at the moment, because of the volume of insulin I need to have to keep my sugar within range 1hr post meal. At times I have needed to snack to keep my sugar up, my basal is down to 0.25 for most of the afternoon at the moment so a - basal isn't going to touch the sides.
The baby consultant was mentioning about how my weight has gone up. "Ideally we like the babies weight to go up but yours to stay level."
Whaaaaaaaaaat!!! Give me one woman in the history of the earth that hasn't put on weight during her pregnancy!! I'm still in all my clothes, and am nowhere near maternity clothes yet! I just feel it's a bit of a stupid comment, but I feel under pressure now to not put on any more weight!! I've been eating fairly healthy, not as strict as I was before pregnancy, but not off the rails! Has anyone else has this? any advice? X
