daredevil baby.
She's about to dive off
of this chair Dive Ellie, dive. Jump in. You feeling it? I'm feeling it. Kind
of like, I wanna be fun but I just don't have energy I'm so out of it, so like
well maybe I'll just come and even just that I'm like wow I don't know if I can
even just walk You know all day because it's like you want to explore and
normally when you're not pregnant Just walking all day is no big deal. You
know. Yeah. Before we went on our trip I took the glucose test and you guys
know that I failed the first one so I went and I took the second one and I
failed it.

| GESTATIONAL DIABETES |
So I have gestational
diabetes. Not only that I was told it was going to be less concentrated,
apparently it's gonna be more concentrated My belly is getting so big. Okay
Alright, I have to be back at 9:15. They just drew my blood again I'm here for
the three-hour test if I fail two out of the four tests that they're gonna do
then I have it, so many of you are asking now what does it mean to have
gestational diabetes? Like what are you gonna have to do? Like what are the
changes you're going to have to make? So this is what I had to do.
First, I'm going to make an appointment to see
a nurse and a dietician and they brought me in for a two-hour appointment And I
learned all about what I'm supposed to eat and what I'm not supposed to eat.
Mostly it's controlling carbs and not eating too many of them, and if I want to
eat I can pretty much you whatever I want But it just has to be portioned out
and like measured out and made sure it's the right amount so that it doesn't
make my blood sugar's just go all over the place and then after talking to the
nurse she explained that I'm going to have to prick my finger four times a day
and test my blood and here's a little clip of what that looks like So I pull
this thing back and push the button minute folks I have to put this little
thing in here first and wait for the blood drip sign, okay No, no, it didn't
get me. I felt that.
Secrets To Getting LIVING WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES WEEK 29 BABY To Complete Tasks Quickly And Efficiently
1.
Gotta take the blood out the blood is not out yet mom, 87. Is it good or bad?
It's good actually Also, something that I have to plan for now is having at
least a weekly visit with the nurse so that she can check my blood sugar levels
and make sure that everything is okay. If they get too out of hand or like too
high I have to go on insulin or some medication that will help me to I get my
blood sugar level down but right now my blood sugar level I've been checking so
this is the second day that I've been able to prick my finger and test my blood
and I haven't had it's been within the perfect range, so I haven't had any
problems and I've been eating just like I should. It's been working, so I'm
really really really really happy about that There's another thing that I need
to do and that is check my ketone level and that is basically Making sure that
I'm not losing weight because when I lose weight, in my urine Ketones come out
It's pretty much acid, but when I'm pregnant like if I wasn't pregnant it
wouldn't be a problem It would just be like getting rid of toxins and like
helping me to lose weight but because I'm pregnant that acid actually dumps on
the baby, and so it's really really bad it can hurt the baby back So I have to
check my levels for that and make sure that I'm eating enough, so if I'm not
eating enough Then I have ketone problems, if I ate too much, then I have a lot
of other problems - There are some of the risks and this is just of gestational
diabetes, it's not necessarily too high or too low, but just like having it be
out of whack so this is what it is So the risks to the baby are a premature
baby and part of the reason for that is the babies are unusually large.
2.
They're
growing the normal rate, but they're putting on a lot of weight I can't
remember exactly how to explain it, but the babies put on a lot of fat and you
have gestational diabetes. Also, they have trouble breathing. They won't
necessarily have it for sure and they might not necessarily even put on a bunch
of weight But when you have this problem, if it's not taken seriously And if
it's not controlled in the right way, then those are the risks the baby can be
born premature.
3.
The bigger the normal and then they can have trouble breathing so those are the
risks and then the risks to me and are I have an increased risk of developing
preeclampsia Also, the C-section rate goes up a lot and then the possibility of
developing type 2 diabetes after later in life like five to ten years down the
road goes up really high too, so on the lighter note Let's talk about baby this
week, babies So the baby can be as tall as 17 inches and can weigh 3 pounds at
this point. The space in here is already starting to get cramped and so I'm not
going to be feeling as been a huge kicks, but more like movement jabs and
pokes. Instead of those hard kicks.
4.
It's a little jazzy After talking to a nurse, I found out the reason why I have
gestational diabetes and it can be a whole bunch of different things, there are
a whole bunch of different factors and things including like your race and your
age and things like that But my reasoning, I didn't have anything on the list
except for one thing And it's my mom She has gestational diabetes and so now I
have it That's the only thing. That's the only reason that I got it and so I
think it's just a genetics thing at this point That's all we know as to why I
have it I'm learning so much about like what I can eat, what I can't and mostly
it's carbs. Controlling carbs because carbs turn to sugar in the bloods like
immediately and you didn't like don't eat sugar But you can have sugar, but you
just have to like eat it in moderation.
5.
There's so many things, I was so overwhelmed in the hospital when I went, I was
like ah so much to learn And I just, I hope I can do and I've been doing pretty
good I think I've been doing really good considering my blood level, blood
sugar levels have been really good So the things that have changed, I have to
have a meal plan and control my carbs, not calories, carbs I have to self test
my blood sugar And I have to exercise consistently because insulin might not
work in my blood, but if I exercise It's like a backdoor and the insulin is
able to get into the cell or whatever something like that Exercise helps,
that's the main point.
All right Let's do some
belly time. Wait guys, before belly time I have to show you a trick. Do you
guys want to know a secret? So this is my trick when my pants are getting too
small, and I don't want to button them up anymore I just take a little rubber
band like that, and I put it in my buttonhole right here, and then I loop it
through and that gives me a little bit of elastic and a little bit of give so
that my pants will stay up But that I so that my circulation isn't getting
caught up either. So there's a little trick for you So here is my belly weak
29. We have two weeks of growth here, and my belly is feeling so big I'm
actually already five pound heavier than I was when I delivered James At my due
date - All right, here's my buddy.
