newtoheaven replied to Natasha's discussion 'Arrival of Baby A!' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Congrats! So glad your induction went smoothly. I know from being in the same boat that it would be great to have that moment of going into labor on your own, but diabetes makes those chances slim. That's wonderful that you both are doing well…"

Arrival of Baby A!
I wanted to let everyone know that our baby boy arrived several weeks ago, at 37 weeks, 1 day!!!There was increasing concern about my dropping insulin requirements - everything looked fantastic on ultrasounds and he passed all NSTs - but over the course of 10 days, my insulin requirements dropped by about 45%.

Natasha replied to Kristin's discussion 'Decreased insulin needs at the end of pregnancy?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"Looks like I'll be getting an amnio to check for lung maturity on Friday - if they're mature, I'll be induced at 37 weeks. If not, I will get daily monitoring and then will be induced at 38. My insulin requirements haven't…"
Natasha replied to Kristin's discussion 'Decreased insulin needs at the end of pregnancy?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"thanks for your reply, kristin.
i'll find out more this week, but it seems that my peri wants to err on the side of caution and is assuming the decreased insulin requirements are due to placenta deterioration. i decreased by 20%, then 10% a…"
Natasha replied to Kristin's discussion 'Decreased insulin needs at the end of pregnancy?' in the group Oh! BABY!!!"hi all - i thought i'd revive this discussion - i'm curious to hear more about everyone's experience with decreased insulin needs.
