Has anyone else had a problem with your hips popping when walking? My hips pop all the time now when I walk and it's pretty painful at times. I've had to resort to using the motorized carts at the grocery store because of my hips. I feel silly using the motorized carts because I think there are so many other people that need it more than I do, but sometimes the pain is too much.View Thread

You can't slow down dialation. But the more you dialate before you go into actual labor the better because it usually means that your labor will be shorter.
Some of my SIL's were dialated to a 4 for weeks before they actually delivered. So I wouldn't be worried about being at a 2.
I started dialating 3-4 weeks ago and i'm almost 34 weeks now.View Thread

s/c: Contractions aren't as bad as before due to keeping my self hydrated and staying off my feet. Legs and feet are really starting to swell and my boyfriend is great at massaging them for me. Baby keeps kicking so I know he's doing well. I even got to see him breathe at my non-stress test on Thursday.
Other: Doctor says she'll induce me at around 37 weeks so i've got at least 4 more weeks to go. I'm ready to have this little guy out.

I thought the same thing when I was first diagnosed with GD. If my blood sugars were too high then I would skip a meal or just eat a yogurt and some cheese or munch on beef jerky. I was always hungry but scared to eat. It didn't help my blood sugars much and I got tired of being hungry all the time so I would make sure I ate something every couple of hours and kept it very low in carbs.
Even now I still have problems keeping my blood sugars where they should be, but my doctor isn't too worried because baby is growing normally and is strong and healthy.View Thread

I hope they don't put you on insulin as well. I hate having to give myself shots every day and I take 2 different kinds of insulin. So i'm giving myself shots at least 5 times a day.
Most of the time they start you out on pills. I don't know why i'm different, it might be because I was diagnosed very early. Or maybe because my A1C was high, which I have now lowered conciderably.
Many times you can control your GD by just changing your diet and exercising more. Take a walk after meals, go swimming, etc.View Thread

How many carbs do you eat at each meal? I was first put on a low carb diet with only 30 carbs a meal and 30 for snacks, but that changed to 45 per meal and 15 for snacks after they changed my insulin.
Be sure to eat plenty of fiber and eat foods with less sugar. grapes and pears do have sugar in them and that can raise your blood sugars. I was told that half an apple, peach, etc is aprox 15 carbs. I can eat as many veggies as I want and they have a lot of fiber and very few carbs. Things like protein and fiber help your body to digest sugars better keeping your blood sugar down. And be sure not to skip meals.
Do some research online and see what you can find out.View Thread

I have the same problem with my fasting blood sugars in the morning. When you get up in the middle of the night to pee try eating a small snack. It could be that your blood sugar is dropping in the middle of the night and your liver is working over time and raising your blood sugars. This is what is happening to me. I'll check my blood sugar levels at 3 am and they will be in the right range. If I eat a snack then when I wake up they are still where they should be. If I don't eat anything then they are high. Try this for a few nights and see if this is what is happening to you.View Thread
