:multiplespotting: :party-smiley-048: Congratulations, Mizzou! :party-smiley-048: :multiplespotting:
 
Congratulations What & TD!!!!

Glad everyone turned out healthy! I just got into this thread so sorry for the late congrats.

 
Has anyone or their wife experience Gestational Diabeates? My Hubby's brother called the other day and told us his wife tested positive (twice) for it. I've looked it up and it seems easily managed with diet and excercise, but still run the risks related to having a really big baby (early delivery, c-section etc).

Just wondering what others experiences with the condition were.

 
Thanks all, he is doing well and finally fell asleep about 30 minutes ago, but his next feeding is in an hour. Doc has us feeding him on a schedule (if he likes it or not) due to some low weight issues. But he is packing on the ounces.

Mrs. Mizzou is doing great. It was a long labor (22 hours) but she got through it with the eppy (after 11 hours of holding out). She is still a little tired and rightly so!

snickered, you know where I can get one? I was actually thinking of finding him a ZPM chew toy

ME!!! With the first pregnancy, but not the 2nd. That is unusual, but everything about pregnancy is unusual. I had the glucose tolerance test with drinking the syrup and finger-prick blood tests every 30 minutes, or so. They put me on a diabetic diet for the remainder of the term I did fine on it. Baby was 1/2 oz. short of 8 lbs, so I'm sure she would have killed me during childbirth if I had not been on the diet.

Start thinking about your father's day gift.

Good to hear that the diets actually work...wasn't totally convinced with what I had been reading.

 
Mizzou,
