Re: Feeling Shakey and a bit Weak?

[Guest guest]

Hi Dave,

Thanks.

For my fasting or first thing in the morning, number, they don't want me

over 95, I've only done that once and a 96, once, otherwise I tend to be

slightly over 100, so 101, is actually pretty good for me, so far.

For after meals, I just need to be under 140, so the 123, that I got after

breakfast, was fine.

I will definitely talk to the midwife about this, this afternoon, about how

I'm feeling.

As for nuts, the only nuts allowed in my house are peanuts. In January, we

had to rush my daughter, Lily, to the E.R. after she had just 2 postascios.

In Feb. she saw an allergist and we discovered she has life threatening

allergies to all tree nuts: postascios, cashews, brazil nuts, almonds,

pecans, etc. She is so allergic that even the dust from one of these could

cause

a reaction, so for her safety, we have removed all tree nuts from our home.

ANd I love postascios and cashews, but my daughters life is more

important, of course.

But, she isn't allergic to peanuts, so I can eat peanut butter and unsalted

peanuts.

As I learn more about Gestational Diabetes, I will be happy to share what I

learn with the list, as I go through this major learning curve, myself.

So far, the baby is in great condition and is at a perfect size. She is

slightly above normal, size wise, but I'm tall and so is my husband, and I

have very tall genes on my side of the family, so this isn't that unexpected.

Last week, she measured int he 63rd percentile. They don't start to truly

worry, until the baby hits near the 90th percentile. I'll get another

ultrasound in about 3 weeks, so they can judge her growth pattern a lot better.

At 19 weeks, she was in the 90th percentile, but obviously she has

slowed down, so that is good news.

As another list member mentioned, another issue with Gestational Diabetes

is too much aminiomic fluid, and right now, mine is right int he middle of

average, with a reading of 16, with norm being something like 8 to 25. So,

i'm good there, too.

I'll keep everyone posted.

Thanks again,

Hi Darryl,

Again, Gestational Diabetes has absolutely nothing to do with weight gain

in pregnancy. It is the placenta that causes it. So, as soon as the baby

and placenta are delivered, this type of diabetes goes away almost

immediately. I'm told I may have to test my blood for up to a week, just to be

sure,

but I could start eating normally as soon as I have the baby.

Skinny women get Gestational Diabetes, so it really has nothing to do with

the weight of the woman. It is how the placenta works and what hormones it

produces. The hormones the placenta produces can mess with the insulin

produced by the mother and the baby, which is what throws us into Gestational

Diabetes.

You can also have it with one pregnancy and not any others. I know of a

woman who had it with her first and then had 3 more kids and never had it

again, it is a random thing.

Yes, responsible doctors are screening every pregnant woman for Gestational

Diabetes.

It is still only seen in about 3 to 5 percent of pregnancies. It may be

increasing, but it has nothing to do with weight of the mom, it might be that

the screening process is better and that 20 years ago, they didn't really

know about this form of Diabetes.

As more and more women get screened, yes, the percentage will go up.

It also has nothing to do with age, as young women can get it and older

women, like myself, can get it, it doesn't descriminate.

Hope this has helped with some more understanding of how this form works.

Take care,

Anytime you are feeling this way with pregnancy you should address it with

your midwife. Can't address too much for sure. That is what she's getting

paid for. )))

Hi everyone,

I have been experiencing these feelings along with some nausea, the last

few days. This morning, my fasting number was 101 and after breakfast it was

123, so not too bad, so just wondering if this is normal? I thought these

were more symptoms of high blood sugar, but my levels aren't that high, so

just was wondering.

My appointment isn't until 3 PM today, so thought I'd ask here, to see if

it is something I should address when I see the midwife.

It's hard for us to really know . I think you summed it up when you said

something to the affect of gestational diabetes being something very different

than regular diabetes.

I would think the bg reading you mentioned (102 or so up to around 124 or so),

isn't too bad. But what does your gynecologist say about where the readings

should be? He/she is really the expert with this, at least, more so than a lot

of us.

We would all like to be more aware of this form of diabetes nonetheless. There

is one constant though, which should be mutually applicable to you. High blood

sugar is harmful, and in your case, to your baby also. If you need to be under a

certain number, well, that's your mission! Slow burning carbs, probably more

healthy proteins (like chicken and fish, and maybe healthy nuts), and whatever

else provides a high ratio of vitamins and minerals per carb/calorie, would be

the best diet plan I would think.

Jestational Diabetes is becoming so comon that many doctors are requiring tests

for it. I do know that after the baby is born and the mother looses weight and

other factors become normal, this kind of diabetes goes away.

Yes, gestational diabetes usually goes away after the baby is born, but the

mother has something like a 50% chance of becoming diabtecic laster in life.

Hi :

ooo I don't know hung. I feel like that when I am experiencing sugar lows, so

I would talk to your midwives and your dietition.

What they might consider high for some people, may be low for your system.

Anyone else with the same oppinion? Here is a hug .

One for Gordon and Lilly each as well. Oh and don't forget pats for the whole

animal gang.

To keep spiritually fit, consult the Great Physician.

Hi :

Oh I think you are doing very well actually, and I can see that you are getting

lots of support here and a lot of interest. That is

interesting that Lilly is alergic to almonds because they are actually part of

the rose family I found out. has a life

threatening alergy to all tree nuts, but he can eat almonds and peanuts. I am

glad. I would be very sad to have no nuts at all in

the house. I know this is off topic, but how is the potty training going with

Lilly? Is it an issue at all anymore? Say hi to

everyone including those horses for me. Oh I wanted to ask. Are there anymore

foals due? Or are they all born now?

Hi :

I never knew that it didn't have anything to do with the weight of the woman.

Of course, I have always been on the heavy side so my

doctor thinking this was the case had me screened. he says he screens everyone

anyways and this was thirty-three years ago. I was

not as careful as I should have been with my diet and I had a big baby. She was

nine pounds fifteen ounces. Ouchy. But I had her

by C section. I know too that my daughter's stupid doctor did not have her

screened as 99 percent of doctors do until he finally

thought he should check her in the final two weeks of her second pregnancy. He

thought, oo she is kind of getting big I had better

do an altra sound of this baby. She was on a diabetic diet in the final two

weeks and her baby was, um um get this. Eleven pounds

one ounce. She had him naturally too with a little help from the forceps. She

was going to have a C section they decided, but the

stupid anisthesiologist didn't show up until about five minutes after made

his entrence. I was joking with Grace as I held

him and told her he was ready for kindergarten now ehehehehe! But she went

right back to normal right after the baby came. Like

has been suggested to you , she kept taking her blood sugars for about a

week after 's birth, but she was fine. Now she

has a different doctor and because there is diabetes all through our family, she

gets tested twice a year just to catch anything.

Gee I do go on and on and on don't I? Maybe I should join

onononononononononononamous do you think? ahahahaha!a
