Just got the diagnosis, any other mamas? I’m struggling with the diagnosis. I have to do the finger prick 4x a day. We have his growth ultrasound tomorrow morning and my diabetic education appointment on Friday.

this is my second time having GD and let me tell you ive been very besides myself with my numbers... honestly just eat healthy foods and you will be prefectly fine :).
Honestly same I got diagnosed last week and have to prick 4 times a day , I just walk a lot and eat healthy sometimes I also skip lunch I don’t get too hungry and the walk really helps
I’m on my 3rd time with GD. Just limiting carbs and sugar and eating enough protein helps my numbers stay low enough to avoid medication. If that doesn’t work for you or your fasting numbers are high, just make sure you’re talking with your doctor about it. I always think about it like this: Having GD can be uncomfortable for me but having unmanaged GD can be harmful to the baby.

Is my daughters name to unique?
I had my daughter a 8 months ago, I told my husband that always had a baby girl named picked out since I was about 13 years old. And he was OK with it. He just changed the spelling which I’m not a huge fan but I still love her name.
Her first name is Sunni middle name Ella Rae. I don’t really love the Ella part or how Sunni is spelled I think it should be spelled as Sunnie so it makes more sense. A few people have commented on it, aka my mother-in-law to be specific. Did I choose a real name for my daughter?

Should I be worried?
I got into a car accident two days ago. I got abdominal pain couple hours after, so I went to the hospital, they checked me over and said everything seemed fine. I’ve had no bleeding and no pain since. However I have no pregnancy symptoms anymore. I’m 12 weeks and have another scan booked in for tomorrow. Am I over thinking this or can this be normal for how far along I am now ??!

Telling the team today
So it's my last week at work and I need to tell the team today that I'm preggers and won't see them for a year.
I'm not close to anyone in my team, so not too fussed.
But uggh I find these convos so awkward.
If it was up to me I'd leave it to the last day and send a message. But my manager kept asking when I would tell the team.

Induction
Hey, I am being induced closer to my due date and the consultant has mentioned using the balloon for induction. I had a pessary when induced with my second.
Anyone had both methods and can tell me how different those labours were or wasn’t? 🩷
