Lauren replied to Sharon Fung's discussion 'Fearghus 君擇 Timothy Patrick Fung (Fearghus is pronounced Fer-gus)' in the group Oh! BABY!!!Lauren replied to kphil06's discussion 'Baby is here!' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congratulations on your sweet baby girl! Giving birth to a healthy baby is a HUGE success for us T1's, and you have MUCH to be proud of despite the fact that the birth didn't go exactly as planned. Good job mama! :)"
Lauren replied to Ashley's discussion 'Did you use you pump when in labor??' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I used my pump and cgm for the entirety of my labor, delivery, and recovery. Blood sugars stayed between 85 and 155, and were around 100 pretty much the entire time. It is totally possible for you and your husband to do this! Fortunately I…"
Lauren replied to Rose's discussion 'Yoga/Stretching' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"I did yoga throughout my entire pregnancy and I think that it was definitely a factor in my overall health during pregnancy and my smooth birth experience. Plus it just feels super good! :) I don't have a specific DVD to recommend, but I would…"
Lauren replied to Roop's discussion 'Were you induced?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Nope, I was not induced. I went into labor when I was at 38 weeks 6 days, and my son was born naturally at 39 weeks. My doctors were talking induction from 38 weeks on, and they were using very scary language like "stillbirth" with me too.…"
Lauren replied to abcpav's discussion 'Just got the good news!' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Yay! Congrats to you!!"
Lauren replied to Katrina Schindler's discussion 'Recommendations for a Good Endo for Type I's in San Francisco?' in the group US - Northern California Diabetes"Bump! I also would love to find a good endo in the bay area. I moved to Fremont from LA this summer and have been having a tough time finding a good endo.

Lauren replied to Lauren's discussion 'OT- Endo Recommendation in Bay Area?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Wow Melissa, thank you so much for your helpful response!

Melissa Price replied to Lauren's discussion 'OT- Endo Recommendation in Bay Area?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Hello, i am T1 since 2008; was diagnosed at 28 weeks in my first pregnancy. I went on to have twins in 2011. Here is who helped me through my diabetes (ENDO) and pregnancies (OB).

OT- Endo Recommendation in Bay Area?
Hey Ladies, I recently moved to Fremont in the San Francisco bay area. Just thought I would see if any of you happen to have a local endo that you can recommend? I would especially appreciate an endo who helped you manage diabetes through pregnancy. Thanks!See More
Lauren replied to Teo's discussion 'Balancing full time job and diabetes pregnancy' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"It definitely was difficult. I think that your worries are realistic, but it is totally possible to manage your sugars and hold down a full-time job. I think that, depending on what your job is, you'll want to find some kind of system/schedule…"
Lauren replied to Diana's discussion 'Insulin Resistance: What week did it start for you?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"My insulin resistance started around week 23-24 if I recall."

Angela said… Again, thank you so much!! I am currently 31 1/2 weeks and baby is measuring about 5 lbs.I love my high risk OB but she said there may be talk of a c-section or induction if she gets to 9-10lbs..I'm so scared of both.I also know measurments can be off and she said the same thing.I hope I get a chance for a natural birth.Whatever happens,I just want our little one to come out healthy :). May I message you as well?
