Ugh. That is the manner by which I right now feel about the
truth that I'm scarcely 14.5 weeks (at the time this was composed, over a week
back) into my second pregnancy as a mother with type 1 diabetes… which implies
there resemble… ugh… a great deal of weeks left. (I'm sparing my diabetes math
for insulin computations, approve?)
My A1C is correct where it has been for as far back as quite
a long while: 6.1 percent. Which is "Hurray!" and well inside
"solid pregnancy run," however amid my first pregnancy, I was on the
ball. My blood sugars were between 70 to 130 mg/dL around 70 percent of the
day, underneath 70 mg/dL for around 8 to 10 percent for the day, or more 130
mg/dL for whatever remains of it.
I pre-bolused my suppers likewise. I checked my carbs
painstakingly. I took little redress dosages of insulin for blood sugars
sitting only somewhat over 130 mg/dL. I ate little measures of carbs to bring a
glucose drifting just underneath 70 mg/dL up to 80 mg/dL.
Amid my first pregnancy, my A1C was somewhere around 5.1 and
5.7 percent. Something I never knew I could achieve–something I'd never at any
point attempted to accomplish before pregnancy, really. It was genuinely low
maintenance work… more so than overseeing type 1 diabetes as of now is all the
time. In any case, it was possible since I had no other youngsters, I worked
all day from home so my calendar was exceptionally adaptable, I had a lot of
time for the rec center, and my exclusive genuine duties were strolling the
pooches in the forested areas a few times each day… and you know, cleaning the
house, cooking supper, whatever blah. Exhausting stuff.
This time is distinctive.
For one thing, my fibromyalgia is far, far, significantly
more touchy. Before I even knew I was pregnant, strolling on the treadmill all
of a sudden made my legs feel like J-E-LL-O being gradually decimated in the
microwave, even after only 20 minutes. Furthermore, the depletion I felt soon
thereafter sent all the warnings of a "Nope, that is not alright for your
fibro constrains at this moment, mom!" So I've must be amazingly watchful
with my practice use to forestall activating genuine flare-ups, sparing the
vast majority of my vitality for Mama Duties, Mama PlayTime, and Playing in the
Snow with Lucy.
This time I likewise have a senseless, silly, laughing
little baby wrapped around my legs for the majority of the day. Her name is
Lucy. She's the result of the Pregnancy #1. She's outrageously adorable (more
often than not).
As much fun as Lucy seems to be, she truly doesn't motivate
me to fixate on my second pregnancy the way I did with my first. It simply
isn't conceivable. What's more, despite the fact that I know my A1C is
exceptionally sound and adequate where it is, I know my blood sugars are not about
as steady as they were with Lucy, and I know it'll be a marvel in the event
that I get my A1C down to 5.7 percent. I know pre-bolusing in the third
trimester when you need to consider what will eat about 45 minutes before you
eat it will feel by incomprehensible when I'm juggling the unconventional needs
of a senseless yet-cute baby.
What's more, the option of my steadily enduring Acid Reflux
From Hell that will probably go with me for the span of this "voyage"
is not adding to my gung-ho-ness.
Rather than feeling gung-ho and pleased with myself for
hanging close to 6.0, I feel kind of awful that this child wouldn't get the
ultra-additional care that my first infant got while still in my comfortable
little womb. (It's extremely comfortable, fixed with Vermont Flannel and
everything.)
As I approach my diabetes administration for the duration of
the day, I get myself persistently needing to simply moan and feign
exacerbation. Notwithstanding when the quantity of the screen says precisely
what it should, it just feels like, "Ugh. Blah. I simply would prefer even
not to consider this."
Be that as it may, I will, obviously. Will keep on thinking
about it and ideally not see my A1C get any higher than 6.1 percent. (Something
lets me know will need to begin pre-bolusing much more tenaciously about a
month from now in the event that I truly need to keep a 6.2 from coming about.)
Perhaps as opposed to attempting to feel
"gung-ho," I have to another catchphrase. Yeehaw?
Go get them, tiger?
Gurrrrrrrrl, you got this!
I'll consider something. Meanwhile, time for another prick
of the ol' finger for that small little baby. I know he or she will be
justified regardless of each ounce of exertion I do marshal… I simply wish I
could hit the quick forward catch.
