HI GUYS! WELL I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON MY JOURNAL.THIS IS IN REGAURD TO THE COMMENTS.....MY BS DROP BECAUSE I AM NOT EATTING ENOUGH PROTEIN WITH MY MEALS OR SNACKS.AT LEAST THATS WHAT THE NURSE SAID.SO WHEN I GET THAT LOW SHE TOLD ME TO EAT MORE PROTEIN THEN CARBS.I HAVE TO EAT ENOUGH OF THOSE TOO BUT THE PROTEIN IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR ME AT THIS POINT.I AM SCARED THAT I WILL GAIN A TON OF WEIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE TO EAT ALOT MORE TIMES A DAY THEN I AM USED TO.BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IF I EAT RIGHT I SHOULD BE OKAY,AND NOT GAIN TOO MUCH.I AM NOW PAST THE THREE MONTH MARK AND ONLY GAINED 2-1/2 POUNDS.IF I ONLY GAIN THAT MUCH EVERY THREEE MONTHS I WILL BE DOING GOOD.THEY ONLY WANT ME TO GAIN UP TO 12 POUNDS.WITH MY LAST BABY I GAINED 19 AND ONLY LOST 8 POUNDS AFTER THE BABY.NOW I AM BACK IN THE SAME BOAT.I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO GAIN ALOT BECAUSE ITS SO HARD FOR ME TO LOSE IT LATER.OH WELL.GOTTA BE OKAY FOR THE BABY.THATS ONE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR ME RIGHT NOW IS BEING HEALTHY FOR ME AND BABY.YES THE PBJ SANDWICH IS GOOD FOR ME TOO,BUT I CAN NOT DRINK THE JUICE WHILE I AM PREGNANT.THEY SAID IT WOULD RAISE MY BS TOO FAST AND THEY DO NOT WANT HAT TO HAPPEN.

It sounds like you have a handle on it!! Good for you!! What causes your BS to go down? I understand how it can be high because my mother is diabetic and hers is NEVER low. Is that because of the pregnancy??

I guess people's bodies react different, but when I worked in the jail, we had an inmate there that it seemed almost every night his bs would drop very low. The jail nurse always had us give him a peanut butter sandwich and a cup of orange juice. It would always bring him back to where he needed to be. Mine stay high all of the time.

Oh my! You really have your hands full! Please try not to stress. Think about your baby and that he/she needs a peaceful environment. Try to think of how great it will be when you can finally hold your baby. No matter what hospital you have to go to or what doctor you get...the end result will be that you have healthy baby in your arms to take home and love.
Well wishes for you!!!
