Not sure why you need to do that right now, but I had GD and became a type 2 diabetic later. Poking your fingers and belly is this no fun necessary evil that takes time to adjust to. It was worth it as much as I hated it.
Oh no. I had to do the injections my last pregnancy. The first time I had a panic attack. You’ll get used to it after a while. I understand tho. It sucks.
This is the second time I’ve had to poke myself and I never ever get used to it. I’m on lovenox and it always stings and I have bruises all over my belly😩 I usually get my husband to do it whenever he is around if not I find that numbing it with ice helps before and after.
@meka2013, it really sucks but it’s for the best and numbing it with ice really really helps me out you won’t feel the stinging as much, Also doing it on the sides helps and try switching sides everyday. Toward the end of your pregnancy you’ll have to inject twice a day with heparin. But I find that it didnt sting like lovenox and hopefully you’ll be used to it by then. Good luck 🤗
