Starting before bed insulin - high fasting

So despite being diet/exercise managed for about 6 weeks I’ve finally hit the point where my fasting numbers are just not responding.

Starting bedtime insulin at 33w.

Anyone else on insulin for fasting numbers?

I think i will be soon. Medformin doesn't agree with me and snacking before bed isn't helping. Got my weekly review on Monday x

Hi, I am and started at 30w. I am on slow acting insulin for fasting numbers and quick acting insulin before breakfast.

For fasting, I was on 10 units, now on 14. My fasting numbers haven't decreased at all so I imagine they will increase it again soon.

My fast acting insulin (2 units) has brought my post breakfast readings down under target so that seems to be doing the trick.

I am also on Metformin and have a super healthy, GD friendly diet. It's just those pesky fasting numbers!

the doctor practice we are with doesn’t even start with metformin it’s straight to insulin :/. I started on 16 units and my fasting was still 96 so I had to go up to 18 units.

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.

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!

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.
