33 weeks blood sugars dropping

Hi,

I’m 33 weeks and all week I’ve noticed sugars are dropping at several points in the day. I’ve reduced basal and now carb ratios. Has anyone experienced this at this stage, as I thought resistance would continue to rise, not go down. Not sure if this is something to worry about. Tried contacting my DSN but they are annual leave until next week so was interested to hear if anyone has had this experience. I know dropping sugars can be a sign of placenta failure but I don’t want to overreact if actually this is also normal.

Mine did this and I added in snacks (especially overnight) I think little one is eating everything

This happened to me with both my pregnancies. The first one at 30 weeks I started hypoing and having to reduce basal and carb ratios and then at 33 weeks I had my son as my hypos were so frequent and my insulin requirements were incredibly low. My second son was born at 35 weeks after I started having random hypos, ones that would happen hours and hours after eating and in the middle of the night and I was told couldn’t be because of potential miscalculations/human error

really interesting thanks for sharing. I’ve reduced my basal and bolus , I did contact my dsn and the department but no one ever got back to me. Hoping all is okay, but really noticed how I’m needing to change my rates. It seems to be settling but am a bit nervous about what all this means!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Braxton hicks

I’m currently 34 weeks and have been experiencing braxton hicks for the past few weeks however have been having cramps almost like very strong period cramps In my lower stomach. I’ve mentioned this to my midwife and she only really asked if I’d been keeping hydrated and taking my vitamins which I am but didn’t really proceed to tell me if this was normal or related to braxton hicks also, has anyone else experienced this?

Eid celebrations?

Is it normal to celebrate Eid by drinking alcohol and partying non stop … doesn’t that just go against the whole month of Ramadan im so confused

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!
