sometimes the 3 hour test comes back normal. i had GD with my last baby. i did have to do the insulin but it wasn't something that most women need. i won't say i enjoyed it but i got through it. i did enjoy the non- stress tests though. i got to hear his heartbeat for an hour each time, which i loved! i had 6 of them and the nurses really got to know me so when i had my baby i felt very comfortable w/ everyone. sometimes a mama has to cry to do what she has to do. ((hugs))
hey girl. I wish I could give you a huge hug. I am in your same situation. Baby A is breech but she flip flops at every u/s B is transverse and i also have to have a c-section. If you need anything or someone to talk to...I am always here. Congrats on 28 weeks though. :-) I just had my 30 week check up, the doctor told me at this point if born their survival rate is 95%. Just thought i would send a positive note on how wonderful it is that you've made it so far already. Hang in there.
pills. Checking your blood sugars isn't as bad as I thought Ither. I have to check mine 4 times a day. Basically your pancreas is just to tired to make more insulin for you. You have to eat less carbs and move a little more and you should be ok. Once you have the babies it goes away. There is a chance that the GD could turn into Type2 within 10 years but again it's a chance. I really hope you feel better soon and don't stress to much about GD.
Hey, I'm sorry to hear that you may need a C-section that sucks, but at least you will be ok and so will your babies and that's the important thing (you are probably so sick of hearing that) I was diagnosed with GD and it really isn't so bad I was super upset when they told me and cried but after going to a GD class and learning more about it it really wasn't that bad. Basically you just change how you eat and control it with food. If its cant be controlled with food they may put you on incelin
YOUR HURT! You need your huby to achknowledge that. So sorry! THere still is a chance though, hold on to this. But this video is your way of preparing yourself for the chance that it could be a c-section. Just wait to see what your body does for you. If c-section happens than you know your babies you have dreamed of for this long will be healthy. Remember, (dont know if it will help, because your feelings are valid) but many woman still cannot get pregnant even with IVF. Be praying for you guys.
I didnt get to see my son (aprt from the split second he was popped over the curtain) for HOURS after my c-section... In recovery they refused to let me see him until i could life my feet off the bed :( I couldnt even see him wen they were tending to him and i didnt get to hold him til he was 5days old... So, pretty traumatic experience :'( Hope yours turns out to be not as upsetting as you are thinking now hun xoxo
Aw sweetie, you need a huge hug and know that everything will be ok. I have five children and had gestational diabetes with three of them. You won't need to be put on insulin, they only put you on insulin if you can not maintain your blood sugar levels even while following the diabetic diet. And you will be able to do it being that your blood sugar levels, though high, aren't too high where you couldn't keep them in check with diet. Everything will be ok.
You are in my prayers and please let me know if you need more information...I really hope you will not need any..at all ....Stay strong and don't forget you are already blessed with double happiness...
...I don't know if you have heard of it but drinking a lot of water and moving will help you keep your blood sugar down...and also the combination of food is very important...and as far as C-section...I also didn't get to hold my son for a long time when he was born (vaginally) because of the sugar...He was given to me only for a few minutes and then he was brought to me after 9 hours...Doctors had to keep an eye on him just in case his blood sugar got really low...which it didn't..
I had Gestational Diabetes while pregnant with my son...First thing I have to tell you is that he was born absolutely perfect and never had any health issues...If you do what your doctors tell you ,everything will be ok..my case wasn't easy...it couldn't be fixed only by diet,so I had to count my blood sugar 6 times a day and had insulin shots 3 times a day..I also had to count my sugar levels while in labor..I was induced at 38 weeks,because the placenta was aging faster because of the sugar..
Your video is breaking my heart. I am so sorry you are not getting the birth you want :'(
I have gestational diabetes and did not handle it well :( I've gotten use to taking my blood 4 times a day and it's completely under control. I've been doing this for two weeks or so and i've only gotten high numbers twice (stupid wendys!). Its not so much about your sugar in take as your total carb in take. I hope you don't have sweetie.. but if you do. I'm here to talk if you need to. *hugs*
Sorry you have been going through this :( it sucks cause you feel alone. All my friends had perfect pregnancies and me I had a very rough one. I had gestational diabetes from 22 weeks on. It's not bad it's eating like you should be anyway. You'll get used to it. I wad healthier then than my whole life :) plus I had my daughter early 33weeks c section. Once you hold your babies for the first time everything will be fine. It sucks when things don't happen the way you want, I think I happens for a
I feel your pain. I knew I was going to have a preemie (severe preeclampsia) and the thought of the NICU terrified me!! I didnt want to see my baby hooked up to all those wires and machines. I knew that it wasnt going to be the birth I had always dreamed of. I had my son 5&1/2 weeks early by c-sec. But he didnt have to go to the NICU at all! I was so thrilled to be holding him 30 mins after. It will still be special and look for the good in an un-ideal situation.
In regards to CSection - Your fears were my experience. Being emotional about it is completely valid. I hadn't prepared myself nearly well enough for the possibility.
My version of chest to chest was when they brought her over - SCREAMING - and put her little head next to mine. As soon as I started soothing her she stopped crying, turned her head and tried to suck on my cheek.
It might be different than you wanted, but know that your first moments with them will be just as special. :)
@thebubblelush Everyone I speak to tells me that, too. I guess they're right but it still hurts to think about. LOL it's a funny thing to get jealous of huh?
@SARAH25PCOS Not at all. I'm still jealous when I see that moment in L&D videos. I wanted it so bad that I stressed the importance in my birth plan. Envisioning that one moment got me through every failed cycle. It was a big loss not getting it. So I just want you to know that your response is totally valid. It is a real downside to having a csection delivery. It helps to remind myself that my baby (a) is super cute (b) had a minimal conehead and (c) my lady bits escaped L&D unharmed.
@thebubblelush HEY HEY and don't forget---some of us C-Section moms get to pick a birthdate--more or less :) And yes, our babies have the prettiest HEADS :) loves loves loves me some SARAH25PCOS... Oh and girl your make up is totally awesome here!!! :)
I was Dx'd with GD as well & my advice would b 2 stay on top of the finger pricks! By being diligent with testing u will b able 2 more swiftly 2 decide if the diet change is adequately affecting BS levels. I found out quickly that my diet (& I went strict) was not working. I went 2 injectable insulin pretty quick. BUT the excellent news was as SOON as I delivered I'd lost 40 lbs!! Only gained about 3 throughout pregnancy & 12 at the end-and I'm a BIG girl! Praying for u & ur family! HUGS&ok2cry!
@uabcjgrad2006 I finished the 3 hour glucose test today at 11:00. It sucked as it always does lol. My 1 hour results were a 160 and supposed to be 140 or below, so apparently it was on the high side :(. I'm so curious to see what the results to the 3 hour will be. I hope I pass because I don't want to have to go through the finger pricking and all the other things I'll need to do. Ugh...::sigh::
@SARAH25PCOS Sounds as though GD is n ur future-so sorry HUGS. I was 1 FREAKING pt. more than I needed 2b@my 1hr & they sent me 2 the 3hr. Just stay on the finger pricks &don't hesitate 2 push 4 insulin if u feel the diet is not working. I know u will research all the info &make good decisions 4 u&ur family. When u concentrate on doing it 4 ur babies things seem much easier-just think in a few short months all ur determination is going 2pay off when u r holding 2of the most precious 1s on Earth!
It'll be worth the wait and after you'll be able to hold your children all day long. So just breathe and take it easy. It's easier to let it out then hold it in. (sending you lots of hugs)
this video made me very sad im used to you making me laugh and being so cheery i hate to see you so unhappy :( i know its hard but try really hard to remember the positive things you have 2 beautiful babies coming into your life shut all the bad things out in the end all the hardships will be worth it hun.
I am also insulin dependant while pregnant. I am 16weeks with #3, feel free to PM me with any questions and/or subcribe to my channel, i will be uploading videos on my managment and how i do things. ((hugs))
Oh hunni, i feel for you i really do! I have had two c section births (not by choice)
My second had medical issues, i how exactly how you feel, and it is completly normal. I pray so hard you deliver naturally but if you dont your babies will be safe and healthy, just make sure when the babies make it back to you, you and your partener are the only ones to hold them. Do all skin on skin, i bonded with both my babies, your doing a great jon
omg i so knw wht u mean by you want the contact when your babies are born, it isnt nice being told this wouldnt be possible so i understand why u find it so upseting, i gave birth to my son but couldnt have contact with him straight away due to him stopping breathing so i kinda knw how you feel right now take care hun x
Don't apologuise for crying! I would be the same. I am no help with Gest diabetes but may be asking ur advice on that one in a few months.
With the section, I know of 5 twin births that where vaginal. Maybe you just have to push for it, maybe its not right I dunno. I just hope u get skin to skin regardless & really hope u get ur vaginal birth.
Tho as I'm sure you know even if u do have a vaginal birth u can have masses of ppl and not get ur baby for hours. Look at my birth with George! xxx
oh *HUGS* i will prey that you get to deliver the way you want and i think if you make it clear to your doc that c section is a last resort for you i think you can have a vaginal birth, a friend of mine did and thanks to that they could turn the baby before so both where head down. but that was a while ago. anyway hope it will turn out the way you want and i will pray to every god there is :D
My sister too had GD and checked her sugar 3 times a day. She controlled it very well with diet and never had to do insulin. She says it became habit and actually helped her learn new eating habits. Her Diabetes was gone 3 hours after my nephew was born and he is now a perfect 15 month old. He too was rushed off as soon as he was born as a precaution because he was early (she has impatient babies :) ) and she says you forget all that as soon as you get to hold them. Hang in there :)
my sister had gestational diabetes and 3 c-sections...it was a long road but everything turned out perfect in the end :) stay positive your getting 2 miracles!!
Lots of hugs Sarah! Ive heard of many people failing the 1 hour but passing the 3 hour so hopefully that is the case with you. I hope somehow you are able to do a vaginal delivery. I know that is really important to you, as it was to me after battling PCOS and finally having my baby.
Hi Sarah, you are so beautiful. I had GD with my pregnancy and I was able to control it with diet and exercise....hopefully you will pass your 3 hour test. It's not hard to cope with GD. I wish you the best and you will make a WONDERFUL mom.
Sara, there is still a chance you can have a vaginal birth. Please talk to your dr about how you are feeling and see if you can work out some compromises for your birth. You as a patient have RIGHTS, if you arent comfortable with something you CAN say so. I wish i could just come hug you!! <3
@Ctownqt8 I think with diabetes they avoid vaginal delivery because of blood pressure rising during the delivery so without wanting to be a spoil sport here, perhaps there was a reason why the doctors advised a C-section. But I do think that she can ask again and exhaust every possibility of having them vaginally. Perhaps the doctors deem it as a less complicated method of having those babies by C-section but she should still exhaust her options. Wishing Sarah all the best!!
@crimsonbutterflies Iv never heard of people having c/s just because they have gestational diabetes and i know multiple people who have had GD and had uncomplicated vaginal deliveries without a suggestion of c/s. in most cases if there is suggestion it is because drs are concerned about babies being too large due to diabetes and usually only comes in the last weeks. cont.......
@Ctownqt8 Gestational diabetes can lead to over-nutrition and excess growth of the baby. Having a large baby increases risks during labor and delivery, hence the need for a c-section. Therefore gestational diabetes is not necessarily a prerequisite for something going wrong with the delivery but it can lead to complications that some doctors do not want to risk facing with twin babies. It depends on the doctor. As I said earlier, I would make exhaust every possibility of delivering vaginally.
Respond to this video...Most twin deliveries are by c/s due to one baby being breech, if both babies are head down she should have every chance at a vaginal delivery.
@Ctownqt8 Im a twin and me and my sister were born vaginally and i was breech. im not sure why they didnt do a c section but they didnt and i came out with blue arms! :P
@Ctownqt8 True if both babies are head down, then it should be fine. I admit that perhaps some doctors are advising the easy way out. But then again, if you consider this bad case scenario, you would know why the do this: one baby is head down and the other one is breech. The heads may interlock, which is a real horror story that could lose both babies. Again, some doctors prefer to not take ANY chances with TWO babies.
@Ctownqt8 Well, gestational diabetes can be controlled by controlling high blood pressure, among controlling weight, exercising and monitoring blood sugar levels. If diabetes is not controlled, then everything will be on the rise, including weight, blood sugar levels AND blood pressure. Imagine a woman with elevated blood pressure giving birth to twins vaginally, putting extra pressure on her heart and veins by pushing. It makes sense that they would want a controlled delivery, i.e. C-section.
your an amazing women. i know most of my friends didn't get to see their babies right away after having a vaginal birth but i know it hard. you have good days and bad days especially when you are having a baby. omg i have some great stories from working in a maternity store for as long as i did about good and bad days. keep fighting and you will over come
Sara, that 's what we are here for is to listen to you when you are sad, happy, mad, or all three. Your going through alot rite now, I know what you mean about wanting a real delivery. I want that for when I have a baby too! You and the babies will be in my thought and prayers!
I took my gestational diabeties test and failed the time with 144 and just think that's just with one baby. 160 something really isn't all that bad with 2 babies, and it's likely that you won't have the diabeties anyway. Most people fail the first glucose test. Keep your head up!!! I cried so much when I failed my first glucose test. I'm sure things will look up for you! Good luck!
First of all you look GORGEOUS .. Seriously stunning !!!
I am so sorry the last two days have been so hard on you sweetie !!
I know it is hard but in the end you will have your two gorgeous healthy amazing little babies !! They may not come into the world exactly as you hoped or wished or dreamed of but they will be here and be yours to love hold and snuggle for always!
Feel better sweetie .. I am sorry your having such a hard time .. love you xoxo
hey hun! My grandma had two sets of twin and yes vaginal births. I called her and she said if you talk to your doctor and tell him you would like to do a vaginal birth.. That he may do it. And if not you could call around to other doctors office and see if a doctor there will let you do a vaginal birth. I wouldnt give up hope about it yet. Call and express that you want a vaginal birth and you would like to try... :) TONS OF LOVE
I'm sorry about what ur having to go through but I know when it's all done and over it it will be well worth it and I'm sure u will look back and see what u have done to get to where u are and be happy!! I have pcos and just now going through fertility treatments and I hate that I cannot conceive naturally but I am willing to do anything I look up to u in many ways. Good luck with everything!!
Stay strong and remember the only thing that matters is that they will be healthy and happy and delivered without any problems. Everything will work out beautifully and no matter what you will love them when you see them.
It will be okay. You will still have an unbelievable bond with your children. My mom really hated the kind of medical thing with my brother, so she didn't even have an ultrasound until about 3 weeks before we were born. She was shocked. She doesn't regret having the c-section. Your mom will still be very happy. The pictures I have from when I was first born I hadn't been cleaned. They didn't keep us from our mother very long. It will all happen for the best in the end.
they can STILL do skin to skin with a c-section!! I am going to school to be a lactation consultant and we have learned soo much about skin to skin and its wonders. There is a new dvd coming out in jan and it does address using skin to skin during c-sections. let me know if you want to link.
I def feel for you! My first was a c-section, and I hated not being able to see him right away. My hubby took lots of pictures of him, but our camera was lost or stolen :( The whole experience was just bad! I swear when I finally got to hold my son, I didn't put him down for 3 hours lol. Also with my first son again(he gave me lots of trouble and still does haha) I failed my 1 hour glucose test too! I did pass the 3 hour so I'll keep you in my thoughts that you pass as well!!
I cried watching this. I feel for you. I did not want to have a c-section either and wasn't even planning for it and i ended up having an emergency one! It was really rough dealing with when i had friends that got to deliver their babys natural only weeks after me. I wanted that experience like you explained. I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that i will never get it even if we have a third. I hope you can find some peace with it ♥
I want to come through the screen and hug you... I am so sorry! I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel better, but I will keep you in my thoughts! By the way even though you are crying in this video you look amazing! You have the pregnancy glow for sure! Hope you are feeling better soon! Hugs!
Hang in there. So sorry you are having a horrible week. I can recommend two people to you... AmberRosato had twin girls. and had gestational diabetes. And LadyMosley04 had twin boys naturally. She might have some tips. I pray that you dont have it. And that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I know it is easy to say but you have to remember that at the end of the day, something cannot be changed and that is that you will bond with those children regardless of whether they are laid on your chest after birth or not. I am not overlooking the fact that there is gonna be a crowded room and most importantly, your mother is not allowed there (why is that, by the way?) But you will make a great mom and nobody can interfere with that, let's put it this way. But I know diabetes is not fun.
Aww hunny, it is normal to be upset, especially as I can imagine that as a first mom you wanna see your baby's face as soon as possible, make sure he/she is okay, bond with him/her. I am not a mother yet but I have seen c-section videos and it is kind of a cold process, as you yourself described, taking the baby away and returning it half an hour later or so. I would be upset too, after all it is a shock when things do not go as expected.
Oh Mama, I hate to see you cry... My heart aches for you, I'm speechless!

Don't apologuise for crying! I would be the same. I am no help with Gest diabetes but may be asking ur advice on that one in a few months.
With the section, I know of 5 twin births that where vaginal. Maybe you just have to push for it, maybe its not right I dunno. I just hope u get skin to skin regardless & really hope u get ur vaginal birth.
Tho as I'm sure you know even if u do have a vaginal birth u can have masses of ppl and not get ur baby for hours. Look at my birth with George! xxx

Sarah - You're human. Its okay to have these emotions. Men are terrible at comfort words. You can do this. Have faith.

oh *HUGS* i will prey that you get to deliver the way you want and i think if you make it clear to your doc that c section is a last resort for you i think you can have a vaginal birth, a friend of mine did and thanks to that they could turn the baby before so both where head down. but that was a while ago. anyway hope it will turn out the way you want and i will pray to every god there is :D

My sister too had GD and checked her sugar 3 times a day. She controlled it very well with diet and never had to do insulin. She says it became habit and actually helped her learn new eating habits. Her Diabetes was gone 3 hours after my nephew was born and he is now a perfect 15 month old. He too was rushed off as soon as he was born as a precaution because he was early (she has impatient babies :) ) and she says you forget all that as soon as you get to hold them. Hang in there :)

Lots of hugs Sarah! Ive heard of many people failing the 1 hour but passing the 3 hour so hopefully that is the case with you. I hope somehow you are able to do a vaginal delivery. I know that is really important to you, as it was to me after battling PCOS and finally having my baby.

Hi Sarah, you are so beautiful. I had GD with my pregnancy and I was able to control it with diet and exercise....hopefully you will pass your 3 hour test. It's not hard to cope with GD. I wish you the best and you will make a WONDERFUL mom.

Sara, there is still a chance you can have a vaginal birth. Please talk to your dr about how you are feeling and see if you can work out some compromises for your birth. You as a patient have RIGHTS, if you arent comfortable with something you CAN say so. I wish i could just come hug you!! <3

@Ctownqt8 I think with diabetes they avoid vaginal delivery because of blood pressure rising during the delivery so without wanting to be a spoil sport here, perhaps there was a reason why the doctors advised a C-section. But I do think that she can ask again and exhaust every possibility of having them vaginally. Perhaps the doctors deem it as a less complicated method of having those babies by C-section but she should still exhaust her options. Wishing Sarah all the best!!

@crimsonbutterflies Iv never heard of people having c/s just because they have gestational diabetes and i know multiple people who have had GD and had uncomplicated vaginal deliveries without a suggestion of c/s. in most cases if there is suggestion it is because drs are concerned about babies being too large due to diabetes and usually only comes in the last weeks. cont.......
Ctownqt8 1 year ago
@Ctownqt8 Gestational diabetes can lead to over-nutrition and excess growth of the baby. Having a large baby increases risks during labor and delivery, hence the need for a c-section. Therefore gestational diabetes is not necessarily a prerequisite for something going wrong with the delivery but it can lead to complications that some doctors do not want to risk facing with twin babies. It depends on the doctor. As I said earlier, I would make exhaust every possibility of delivering vaginally.

Respond to this video...Most twin deliveries are by c/s due to one baby being breech, if both babies are head down she should have every chance at a vaginal delivery.

@Ctownqt8 Im a twin and me and my sister were born vaginally and i was breech. im not sure why they didnt do a c section but they didnt and i came out with blue arms! :P

@Ctownqt8 True if both babies are head down, then it should be fine. I admit that perhaps some doctors are advising the easy way out. But then again, if you consider this bad case scenario, you would know why the do this: one baby is head down and the other one is breech. The heads may interlock, which is a real horror story that could lose both babies. Again, some doctors prefer to not take ANY chances with TWO babies.
crimsonbutterflies 1 year ago
@Ctownqt8 Well, gestational diabetes can be controlled by controlling high blood pressure, among controlling weight, exercising and monitoring blood sugar levels. If diabetes is not controlled, then everything will be on the rise, including weight, blood sugar levels AND blood pressure. Imagine a woman with elevated blood pressure giving birth to twins vaginally, putting extra pressure on her heart and veins by pushing. It makes sense that they would want a controlled delivery, i.e. C-section.

Sara, that 's what we are here for is to listen to you when you are sad, happy, mad, or all three. Your going through alot rite now, I know what you mean about wanting a real delivery. I want that for when I have a baby too! You and the babies will be in my thought and prayers!

I took my gestational diabeties test and failed the time with 144 and just think that's just with one baby. 160 something really isn't all that bad with 2 babies, and it's likely that you won't have the diabeties anyway. Most people fail the first glucose test. Keep your head up!!! I cried so much when I failed my first glucose test. I'm sure things will look up for you! Good luck!

hey hun! My grandma had two sets of twin and yes vaginal births. I called her and she said if you talk to your doctor and tell him you would like to do a vaginal birth.. That he may do it. And if not you could call around to other doctors office and see if a doctor there will let you do a vaginal birth. I wouldnt give up hope about it yet. Call and express that you want a vaginal birth and you would like to try... :) TONS OF LOVE

Stay strong and remember the only thing that matters is that they will be healthy and happy and delivered without any problems. Everything will work out beautifully and no matter what you will love them when you see them.

It will be okay. You will still have an unbelievable bond with your children. My mom really hated the kind of medical thing with my brother, so she didn't even have an ultrasound until about 3 weeks before we were born. She was shocked. She doesn't regret having the c-section. Your mom will still be very happy. The pictures I have from when I was first born I hadn't been cleaned. They didn't keep us from our mother very long. It will all happen for the best in the end.

they can STILL do skin to skin with a c-section!! I am going to school to be a lactation consultant and we have learned soo much about skin to skin and its wonders. There is a new dvd coming out in jan and it does address using skin to skin during c-sections. let me know if you want to link.

I def feel for you! My first was a c-section, and I hated not being able to see him right away. My hubby took lots of pictures of him, but our camera was lost or stolen :( The whole experience was just bad! I swear when I finally got to hold my son, I didn't put him down for 3 hours lol. Also with my first son again(he gave me lots of trouble and still does haha) I failed my 1 hour glucose test too! I did pass the 3 hour so I'll keep you in my thoughts that you pass as well!!
Lynqtpie301 1 year ago
I cried watching this. I feel for you. I did not want to have a c-section either and wasn't even planning for it and i ended up having an emergency one! It was really rough dealing with when i had friends that got to deliver their babys natural only weeks after me. I wanted that experience like you explained. I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that i will never get it even if we have a third. I hope you can find some peace with it ♥

I want to come through the screen and hug you... I am so sorry! I know there is nothing I can say to make you feel better, but I will keep you in my thoughts! By the way even though you are crying in this video you look amazing! You have the pregnancy glow for sure! Hope you are feeling better soon! Hugs!

Hang in there. So sorry you are having a horrible week. I can recommend two people to you... AmberRosato had twin girls. and had gestational diabetes. And LadyMosley04 had twin boys naturally. She might have some tips. I pray that you dont have it. And that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I know it is easy to say but you have to remember that at the end of the day, something cannot be changed and that is that you will bond with those children regardless of whether they are laid on your chest after birth or not. I am not overlooking the fact that there is gonna be a crowded room and most importantly, your mother is not allowed there (why is that, by the way?) But you will make a great mom and nobody can interfere with that, let's put it this way. But I know diabetes is not fun.
crimsonbutterflies 1 year ago
Aww hunny, it is normal to be upset, especially as I can imagine that as a first mom you wanna see your baby's face as soon as possible, make sure he/she is okay, bond with him/her. I am not a mother yet but I have seen c-section videos and it is kind of a cold process, as you yourself described, taking the baby away and returning it half an hour later or so. I would be upset too, after all it is a shock when things do not go as expected.
