lol, the 135 could very well be right it that is what your doctors says. I think as long as you try to stay lower than that you will be great!!! Just keep yourself healthy, also exercise makes your blood sugar levels drop so if you are ever a little high, have protien or work out you will do great, I can tell if you are already this worried about it.

Thanks for the update, I know the needles can be tramatizing.... I hate needles it usually takes anestesiologist about 3 times to get an IV started on me because I panic and my veins go flat from not breathing. Just a couple of things I noticed in your email the blood sugars for a regular person are between 60 and 110... 120 is borderline diabetes. My doctors don't want me to have anything above 120 2 hours after eating.

You are too cute though, I have to check my blood 7 to 10 times a day... And anytime I put something in my mouth I have to take insulin through a needle like what the give you shots with at the doctors office

try your hardest to keep you blood sugars as close to 100 as possible, it will be best for your baby and you.

Let me know what the nutritionist says after your meeting next week. Oh and also a trick that my doctor told me that helps if you want to have a small sweet snack. If you eat protien first it helps with the high sugar levels but it has to be a 2 to 1 ratio so for every 1 carb you want to eat you have to eat 2 grms of protien. Beef jerkey is really good for this but also a catch tweenty two, because docs recommend that we stay away from any food that is not cooked to 140 or higher and since beef jerkey is usually smoked only to dry it out it never reaches that 140 mark, but I still eat it ocassionally.

Sorry I hit the tab button and it sent my message before I was done.

Lunch: Vegetables, maybe some brown rice...

The biggest thing is to stay away from a lot sweets, if you eat fruit which is good for you don't have it in the morning time wait until after lunch, you hormones in the morning make it a lot harder for you body to break down the gloucose.

The other biggest thing to watch out for is CARBS, all carbohydrates turn into gloucose which is sugar. Which is what your body is having a hard time breaking down. Gloucose (sugars) it was gets to your baby and they baby stores these sugars and become to big because he/she does not need them.

Trust me it is not easy at all, it took me a while to get use to such foods, I thought that they all tasted horrible. Diet soda is ok, but becare of stuff that says sugar free. You do not need to look at any sugar contents on any package, (this is a huge misconception about diabetics that we count the sugars) what you need to look for and the only thing you need to look for is the amount of carbs contained. Sugar free candy actually has more carbs that regular candy, which means that the regular candy would be better to eat. You should still try to stay away from the sweets though.

What your doctor is probly going to do is put you on a carb intake schedule.

Mine is 30-45 carbs from breakfast
15-30 for snack (small apple, half banana)
45-60 for lunch
15-30 for snack
45-60 for dinner
15-30 for late night snack if you are hungry!!!

I feel like i am putting way to much info in this one email. Don't feel stupid at all asking me questions, I felt really stupid about this condition when I first got it, I have a billion questions. And really don't mind helping you at all. I don't know who you doctor is but I see one of the best Endro. docs in Washington. And he is very helpful, so I feel very confident that the information that I am giving you is as good as gold.

Good luck

I eat a least one protien with each meal
Breakfast: Eggs, turkey bacon, maybe a piece of wheat toast
Lunch: Any meat as long as it is not fried or breaded,

HI my name is crystal and I was reading your post about you concerns for the g. diabetes. I am a type one diabetic. I have to worry about the same things as you except I have had to worry about it since before we tried to get pregnant. I can't tell you how important it is to follow the diet that you doctors puts you on. Yes it is true to have large babies, but that is only for the diabetics that do not control their diet. If you take good care of youself and control you diet strickly you will be fine and you baby will be fine. Usually doctors wont telll you everything because the dont want to scare you until they fill it is nessasary. but I will be honest with you because my doctors have been completely upfront with me. If you do not control you diabetes their are a few things that can happen, having a big baby, having a small baby because the diabetes interfers with the placenta and the baby does not get the nutrients he/she needs. Having a baby who will be much more at risk for type 2 diabetes later in life. and the worst and scariest is having a still born baby. The last one scares me to death. Even though I would love to eat, sweets, fried foods, lots of starches such as potatoes, french fries and so on. I stick to a high protien diet, with limited healthy carbs and lots and lots of water. I know that once my little one comes I can eat normal again but, since I love her so much and would never do anything that would potentialy hurt her even if it was only a 1% chance, I can do the diet for just 10 months. I hope this helps you and you are a lot luckier than me because once you have your healthy baby your diabetes goes away, I have to live with mine for the rest of my life and take about 10 shots a day. Diabetes has taken 5 of my babies who are all in heaven, it will not take this one. I hope this helps you and scares you a little into really listening to your doctor, because so many women dont. Good luck and take care I wish you all the best. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me anythign.

Well, the fight with my job is over and they won. As of last week h/r had dropped everything but this Sat my boss told me that I had to report to a meeting on Today, so when I arrived my boss was there along with h/r and the company supervisor. Anyhow, I was forced to sign the excessive absence paper or I was going to be terminated ( even though I had drs excuses and also they counted the approved time 2 days I had in June against me) they said that It is all considered excessive absences to the company whether it was approved or not. Also, I was slammed with a insubordination paper, which will remain on my file forever. If I get 1 more insubordination I will be fired immediately. I received that for refusal to initially sign the paper. Anyhow, they got me and thats it. I felt like I was attacked and they had an excuse for everything that I said. I was so strong before but I broke down and started to cry and told them how I was good to the company for 8 years with a clean h/r file and I was being treated unfairly. Anyway, today I fell low and taken advantage of. They allso made me submit my maternity leave letter , which I plan on leaving the last week of Sept now if I last that long now. The whole thing sickens me; I just can't wait till my new baby comes and I will forget about that job forever. I guess I will stay till next month until I am either harrassed by my boss until I resign or they find a reason to terminate me. I know you all are probably sick of this story as I am also, but I wanted to thank everyone who has supported me and given me advice. I am just really upset.

I feel even worse that I broke down today and the supervisor said that If I was not pregnant I would have already been fired because of my attitute and disrespect to my boss, but that she is cutting me slack because I am emotional. Anyway, maybe one of you can learn something from my rotten experience. I just don't know anymore! They even suuggested I take a leave earlier. Oh well, I guess there is nothing more to say.

when I went to the Dr. yesterday he said that it is normal to feel cramps in that area. If they get bad or your whole stomach tenses up then it is a more severe one, up to 6/hour is normal. If they get bad like that rest, lay down, water, shade if your in the sun, light snacks, count them and document when one starts until the next starts, pay attention to your stomach- is the baby kicking? If you relax and all that and they still get worse where you can't talk through them and more than 6/hour- call the Dr. (I've heard other drs say 4/hour, but these are my drs instructions)-hope that helps!!!!

grahamcrackerjennacide - Wednesday, 30 July
Thanks, that's what I have planned to get done tomorrow. If I don't get into the Dr tomorrow I'm going to do another pee test to see if anything has changed to that much of an affect. I haev so many medical anomolies that I'm sure this isn't going to be an exception when it does happen. lol

crystal-p - Wednesday, 30 July
omg, I really hope this will not be an everyday experience for me. You poor thing if it happened everyday I wouldn't even want to walk. My leg still remaines in pain all day like a bruise.

Heres the work update: Alot of you are asking and it is so I thought I'd give a big update on it. Anyway, I reported to work on Sat and my boss was already there and the lady from human resources came shortly after. I was then called into the office for a meeting and I of course had a copy of the work handbook with me.haha. So, I once again stated my case and why I was refusing to sign the dicipline and h/r broke down the days that my boss was trying to count against me. The 2 Saturdays in June were thrown out by h/r becuase they were preapproved days off and not call offs( my boss tried to say that they were not pre approved) but I told her she better tell the truth because there is documentation to prove that they were( I filled out a personal leave paper 2 weeks in advance), so she admitted to h/r that they were indeed pre approved. That left 3 days in July 2, which were pregnancy related and 1, which was due to babysitter having an emergency. 1 ofm the drs excuse days was also thrown out but I am being held responsible for the (babysitter day). Anyway, h/r told my boss to hold off on the dicipline until I submit the zoo trip excuse, which I did yesterday, so we'll see what happens. I did point out that policy states that FMLA excuses cannot be held against an employee along with the fact that a dicipline cannot be issued unless the excessive absences are 2 consecutive months in a row, which does not apply to me since the June days were thrown out. H/R is supposed to be mailing me FMLA paperwork to fill out if I have any future pregnancy related call offs, which would count against my 12 weeks. Honestly I think they were both floored that I had a copy of the handbook and brought it with me to state my case. I guess I'll see what happens next. I think that evil boss of mine will try to find another way to get me out. I told them that I planned to stay until Oct 1st and my boss made a comment saying If you last that long, which I replied what do you mean by that? She said well... you don't know what can happen with your pergnancy and all. Whatever! That woman is NASTY! I ahve had problems with her ever since she became manager back in Oct. I can't wait to leave that place and never go back! I will soon have my new little boy. I am not going to let that crappy job bring me down. It is what it is. Thank you all for your concerns and I will give another update when I find out whats next.

I hope I didn't ramble again.lol.

Hi, I wanted to give everyone an update on my work situation. I reported to work today at 8am my scheduled time and at 3pm 1 hr before my shift ends my boss came and called me into her office to sign the warning paperwork pertaining to the 3 days I called off in July 2 of which I had a medical excuse for. I told her that I refuse to sign the paperwork because I have medical documentation and 1 non medical excused call off is not considered excessive for 1 month. She told me I had to sign it anyway even if I did not agree and that I could write a comment on the paper and I said no, not without my legal councel rewiewing this document. I picked the paper off the table to look at It and she tried to snatch it from me stating that I was not allowed to have a copy unless I signed it. I still refused. She told me that I will be insubordinate but I still held my ground. I walked out of the office and resumed my duties until 4pm. I ultimately decided not to give in to this because I discussed this with my dad and sterpmother and they advised me that I do have rights even as a part time employee and that what they are trying to do is NOT legal. I also got alot of responses from all of you. So, I guess we'll find out what happens with me this week. Yes, I do need the money but I am not going to let anyone take my rights away, so thats why I decided to stand my ground. Oh yeah, they cancelled the zoo trip and she didn't even tell me to come to work and when I brought that up she got defensive and said she had already found coverage. Anyway, I hope everyones pregnancy is going well and I want to thank everyone who responded to my post needing advice.

If we ever have a boy his name will be caleb. I really like the name Makayla and so does glenn but it is very simalar to our daughters name Makenna that I'm worried people might make fun of them as they grow up but we both really like it. I had Makenna name picked out since I was 16 so it wasn't hard on that one lol but I'm worried I might go into labor before we name her which I really hope that doesn't happen. Were you hoping for a little girl this time around. We were hoping for a boy but someone had other plans

: The biggest plus is I alread have a ton of girl clothes!
