This baby is supposedly 6.4 lbs today! My first was 5.14 lbs at delivery and my second 6.7 lbs.

@momofemersonbliss oh okay gotcha

@angelfoodcake, ahh ok . I get humalog on a continuous basis ( called

Basal insulin) and then more for food , carb counting and correcting a high blood sugar ( called bolus) . Both humalog

.

@momofemersonbliss I take that one, that's fast acting via injections tho

@angelfoodcake, oh ok idk

About injections I have a pump and use humalog .

@momofemersonbliss my sugars are getting worse, but not bad bad - I take 32 slow acting 2X a day and 32 fast acting 3X a day.

@angelfoodcake, oh wow . I saw a specialist who’s an ob and diabetic himself , I got

Lucky . He planned to induce me at 37 but I got To the 36 and everything was great so he Then said let’s go to 39

But I never

Made it . That’s crazy . Definitely tell him

About the protein . I’m glad your blood sugar is good , I needed a whole

Lot more insulin at that point

@momofemersonbliss Yes, 450. Anything over 300 is a concern/ pre-e but because my blood sugar is excellent and all the blood work is good and kidney function - they are dismissing it.

The problem is I see my obGYN and then a whole team of Specialists - and everyone has a different recommendation. My doc has me set at 38. I would like to go at 37

@mimixtmn That would be a first, I have always been induced. My mom just said that, like maybe he will come on his own ... Then she said many have pushed out 11 pounds babies you should be iight! The devil is a lie! Lol

@angelfoodcake, lmao that would be scary lol I’m small tho and have had some pretty decent size babies and all were ok. My youngest was 7lbs at 37 weeks my middle was 8lbs at 38 weeks I can only imagine if they were 40 weeks 🤦🏽‍♀️. If there is a concern I’m sure they will induce you ahead of 39 weeks tho! Who knows baby might come on it’s own before!

@angelfoodcake, you’re spilling protein too right ? I’d definitely speak up

@momofemersonbliss Right I'm literally scared

@angelfoodcake, I definitely remember that . When I went in because I thought I was like dying I was having contractions and not feeling them and my

Bp was through the roof . Getting up was a task for sure .

@mimixtmn So what if he's 2 pounds bigger, lol, jka - I'd lose it

@angelfoodcake, try not to stress 💕💕 mine was off almost 3 lbs they told me my son was 5lbs 10oz-6lbs he was born a couple days later at almost 9lbs

@mimixtmn, and I’m telling you from experience being a diabetic that they are more often not off by 1 or 2 pounds . I can understand where she is coming from , if you

Know your baby is going to be bigger than going two more weeks when they’re already big is a lot to

Wrap your head around.

@momofemersonbliss And I'm super uncomfortable, like crazy uncomfortable, I literally can't even bend - he's big I just know it

@angelfoodcake EXACTLY!

@momofemersonbliss, yes I know they can be bigger but the ultrasound is the same diabetic or not they are estimates.

@mimixtmn, it’s different when you’re diabetic. Babies born from diabetic moms grow bigger faster .

Damn mama . I know how hard that is . I remember when I had Emerson I had a growth scan at 36 weeks she was 6 lbs 14 oz I had her less than a week later and she was born at 7lbs 1 oz . The scans are sometimes super accurate

@blessed2018w9 that's exactly how I feel, like even if I'm wrong with my logic/worries they need to address my concerns.

@mimixtmn Yeah I know but still scares me, they weren't off last pregnancy

@angelfoodcake nope no more growth scans now I do still get the ultrasounds like weekly to check placenta and her fluid levels but no more growth...I'm nervous as heck for tomorrow I think I'm also gonna stress to them my concerns

That weight is only an estimate that can be off 1-2 lbs

I can't wait to hear what they will tell you tomorrow, Hun. Are they going to do another growth scan? @blessed2018w9

Also, the specialist today was like I'm going to order another growth scan in 3 weeks, my tentative induction date. What's the purpose of that, like are y'all trying to rack up bills or what. I don't like her. Lol.

Mine was 8 lbs 3 oz just 12 days ago with diabetes I'm stressed to the max about them making me go to wk39
