Well, I had my appointment yesterday. I got to meet my OB (the other one is leaving at the end of the month). I really liked her.
So not great news first...I’m Type 2 diabetic, which I know isn’t great for pregnancy. I got diagnosed about a year ago. It’s mild in that my A1C was 0.1 above the limit. Ive been on Metformin both for the diabetes and PCOS. My OB took me off Metformin yesterday. She wants me to monitor my blood sugars 4x/day for a week and let her know the results. She said she will most likely have to put me on insulin. I already feel like a failure to my baby. I know some women end up with GD and diabetics have healthy babies all the time, but I’m just trying to process everything.
For the great news...my OB was able to find the HB with the Doppler! HB was 160, and I was so relieved to hear it by Doppler. Also, I’ve only gained a few ounces. My goal weight gain is 0, so I was happy with that. I do need to start exercising though.

I have to transition from the progesterone suppositories to a weekly progesterone shot at 16 weeks because of my preemie birth with my daughter. Not excited about it, but it is what it is.

orangehibiscus Exciting that you were able to get the HB on Doppler! I’m sorry the diabetes is complicating things, but you’re not a failure! Growing a baby is tough on our bodies and sometimes we need a little assistance. Yogurt The shots aren’t super fun, but hopefully you’ll be nice and healed between shots!
