and my levels are coming down to where they want them. And I finally gained a pound, which I thought I might have, as I had to put two more pairs of trousers in the ‘wear after baby born’ pile.
I did have my first hypo (low blood sugar) Thursday night. I was worried because my levels were within where they wanted them, but I felt horrible. But when I spoke to the Diabetic nurse she said my body would get used to lower levels, and the next time it was at that level, I felt fine, so I guess she was right!
Other than the out of control Blood Glucose and slightly achy breasts, I don’t feel pregnant at all. Well, I am weepy, which is annoying, but I am no more tired than usual (since I have not had a decent nights sleep in what feels like eons) and I don’t think I am running to the toilet any more than usual. I’m really glad we saw the heartbeat this week, or I’d be really worried.
I am finding the insulin to not be that big of a deal. I mean, I would love to be eating like the women on my pregnancy board, who are totally pigging on chocolate and cakes and crisps and such. But other than that, I am not finding it hard. I am actually surprised that people do find it to be hard. But I guess that’s a personality thing.
As far as names go, Simon and I have only decided on one thing. That it should be something easy to spell! No weird spellings for us! We both get annoyed enough with the ‘y’ in my first name and the 3 different ways to spell our surname! So the name will be something easy. We’re just not sure what that will be yet!
My best friend is due at the end of March, and while she’s not on insulin yet, she has to take drugs to keep her levels in check, since she had GD last time she was pregnant. She reported having a similar feeling when her levels were lower than they’d been. She felt awful! Glad to hear your levels are ok!
And go you for a regularly spelled name! I know some people rather like their unusually spelled names, but even for mine, which is spelled traditionally, people still can’t get it right sometimes. I can’t imagine having an untraditional spelling on top of that. People couldn’t spell my old last name, and they can’t spell my new one either!
