I just lurked on the Sept/Oct BMB and holy moly do they have a lot of ladies! I'm a little jealous they're so full and active. I looked at nov/Dec and it looks like they already have close to the amount we have here.

I have lots of thread ideas/have seen them on other boards but some of them seem more relevant to later on. /Might be kind of do overs for most of y'all ST+ moms.

Did any of you have gestational diabetes in any of your pregnancies? I have been feeling like absolute crap after I eat as in shaky, a little weak and really tired. But I always worry that I’m making symptoms of things in my head. Thoughts? Is it every time you eat? If I try to have just a bowl of cereal, or pancakes/waffles with syrup, my blood sugar crashes soon after. I have had incidences with low blood sugar/feeling like it's low since I was a teenager though. As far as I know I'm not diabetic. It happens maybe once a month. I’m going to have to balance out my meals and see if it makes any difference.

kam3100, I had GD both previous pregnancies, but not until the third trimester (that’s when the placenta really starts interfering with insulin). So far, so good this pregnancy, but i know I will have it again later on. It’s more common the older you get and I’m not getting any younger! I have had instances similar to what you describe that were not blood sugar related while pregnant (I tested immediately, so I’m sure that was NOT it). Light-headed, seeing spots, feeling like I might pass out, usually after walking around for at least 10 minutes. My OB chalked them up to not staying hydrated enough, with all the extra blood in your system due to pregnancy. Sitting for a few minutes and chugging some water helped a lot.

Well, I am a little embarrassed to admit that I ate 4 bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and felt like crap afterward. But I didn’t think about it. Then I had lunch, which again was super healthy (sarcasm)beef taquitos and felt like trash again. I began thinking about it and I’ve been feeling terrible after eating for last week or so. So I guess I will stop allowing myself to eat what I want when I want and make healthier choices.....dang it!

I almost passed out at work from the blood sugar crash, it was horrible. Definitely have protein with your simple carbs like that. A large spoonful of peanut butter, an egg, greek yogurt. Or have a bowl for dessert after dinner.

I have been craving cereal and milk. I usually have a small bowl as soon as I get to work. And then eat my eggs, whatever else around 8:30. I used to never want to eat as soon as I get up.

I have a 14 year old Dachshund and he was a little sick last week and now this week his poop smells extra ripe. He just pooped in the house a few minutes ago and I ran away and was very dramatic. My husband gets exasperated but I don’t want to puke!

I'm almost half way there and we have done nothing to prepare for this baby. Considering how much work we need to do on the house, I'm starting to stress out big time. As soon as we make a decision we change our minds for one reason or another. Maybe once DH sees the baby on Friday, he'll get his add in gear.

Having the worst chest tightness since yesterday on and off. Hard to breathe, hard to talk, pulse is racing, dizzy, shaking. It's similar to my last pregnancy, and not related this time to blood sugar, I don't think since it happened both before i ate and after i ate. Maybe today's episode is a panic attack. I'm not sure anymore. Uggghhh.

My Facebook memories from a year ago were when I was training to run my first 5k and I was in great shape. And now I can’t even go to the grocery without running out of steam and feeling like I’m going to pass out.

I’ve seriously been so crabby the past couple of weeks. I have zero patience and wish I could figure out how to rein it in.

In the last three days I've had at least four people ask a variation on the question of when I'm going to start really showing. Calm your tits, people. It'll happen. And I can't predict the future.

I wish people wouldn’t feel it appropriate to make comments regarding a pregnant woman’s body. Period. ETA - Unless it’s to say “You look amazing!” and that’s it 😂

Just because we are creating new life doesn't give people the right to feel up our bellies. I used to get so ragey when strangers would try to pet me, then get offended when I'd get pissy.

Ugh I hate when people touch my belly. But I'm sooo non-confrontational I just stand there and smile awkwardly while internally screaming.

I really started feeling a lot of movement in the last 2 weeks and I'm 23w. It'll come soon, but I totally understand how nerve wracking it is

I'm sure these two will start dancing and doing aerobics soon and we'll miss these calm days!
