Induced for gestational diabetes??

Question

Answer

You are put on IV fluids during labor. If you start feeling like your blood sugar is low, have them check it. They can give you fluids with dextrose in them.

Answer

They limit your food due to the possibility of having a csection. Usually only allow ice chips and sometimes water. Honestly, with my last 2 births I was induced and I smare snacks any way. I was not a good patient! But I get migraines if I don't eat so I would sneak juice and crackers and such. I don't recommend doing this but it's what I did. I also checked my own bloodsugar to make sure it was steady before I snacked.

Answer

I had GD and my water broke early without contractions. While they had me on a pill that thinned my cervical mucus and was in pitocin I was given broth and jello, choice of tea or water. Ended up having a csection because of uterus issues not GD complications.

Answer

I was induced with my first pregnancy, went in on a Thursday night, was given breakfast the next day, but that was it until after baby was born that Saturday morning. But honestly, I was do uncomfortable that pain relief was my top priority. Didn't even notice if I was hungry. But let me share this tid bit, the only thing worse than hospital food is modified diet hospital food. They continued to monitor my blood sugar after the baby was born. My numbers were great but they still gave me low carb meals. The night we got home, I sent hubs for tacos from my fave take out place.

Answer

I had the same exact situation with my daughter (overnight cervidal (sp?) and then pit in the morning). I ate dinner right before they started the cervidal and then didn't eat for 26 hours later. Honestly I didn't even notice.  Labor makes you feel kinda sick (some people puke through the entire thing) and then the pain distracts you.

Answer

I have had 5 pregnancies and i have been induced with all of them. i never eat bc you just never know what may happen. Some procedures can't be done unless your stomach is empty. Just ask yourself which one is more important your baby or a snack? Its very hard bc u really want to eat but i just always tell them i want to eat as soon as i have my baby. Bc you will feel a little weak. i hope this helps ☺
