Had a growth U/S today...

moroccojade · August 2014

I seriously freaking hate these growth US. My dearest friend here was told she was going to have 10+ pound babies... Both of them were only 8. All that stress for nothing!

mexinugget · August 2014

Don't beat yourself up. Big hugs, i think your a great mom and def not failing your baby. Just like other ladies have said some babies are just big.

MindyAndRyan · August 2014

Aww, nacho mamma...don't feel like you're failing baby taquito! If he is healthy, don't stress over their computerized guestimate of his weight! (And yes, my official guess is that Taquito is a Taquito and not a Taquita!) Like others have said, it can be off. It is good to be aware of possible changes you can make, but don't be too hard on yourself. (((hug)))

Love to you miss nacho but really car crash whatever. Go away. You're just ignorant. You respond with your half ass responses know it all - wannabe bullshit then disappear.

@carcrashheart‌ I think you need to step away from your keyboard. Snark can be fun but you always put it in places where it is NOT needed. Don't tell our Nacho to stop pouting. She has a legitimate concern and is just feeling crappy about herself. Right now is the time for love and support not your unneeded rudeness. She has type 1 diabetes, she's worried. Get off your high horse and actually contribute something positive to this board for once, otherwise fuck off.

lisaren · August 2014

I fuckin love my homie @Maelara‌

lisaren · August 2014

I'll eat nachos for days for miss nacho queen and gain 457994 lbs. so yeah.

Ice Ice baby.

carafern · August 2014

PPs have given good advice. So I just offer hugs to you.

Also, I don't know why but the image of a babynacholover really makes me happy.

lovingaddi · August 2014

No experience, but sending my love, T&Ps!!

LongIslandMama1114 · August 2014

Everyone has covered it @missnacholover‌ But I want to send you some hugs! You're doing fantastic and are NOT failing your LO!

BOOM.

missnacholover · August 2014

Thank you everyone! I stepped away from my computer (and the google) yesterday so I didn't see all of this love until this morning. WOW. You guys are so, so awesome. I feel better today and all your hugs and love have helped. N14 for lyfe!!!!

@carcrashheart - you are so holier than thou and frankly, it's no longer needed around these parts. I never had an issue with you and just figured you were a straight shooter, but "pouting"? Really? Excuse me for being worried about my child and upset that perhaps some of my actions may be causing him/her to grow a little too much. If caring for your unborn baby is "pouting", then yeah, I guess I'm pouting. You really need to get off of your self-imposed high horse and pull the broom out of your ass. The next time you're living with Type 1 diabetes, we'll chat about all the "pouting". K? K.

Bandia12 · August 2014

Hugs to you hun! I'm joining team, you've been doing everything you can and are not failing your child. You've been doing a great job of controlling your diet!! You are doing everything you can to make sure that you are both as healthy as possible. That makes you an amazing mom!

I also agree that growth scans are not fully accurate and that some people just make bigger babies. Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are doing amazing

Carebella · August 2014

Big hugs to you mama nacho. A little late to the party but definitely wanted to echo what PP have said. You clearly care and are doing a great job of ensuring your LO arrives healthy. And the scans have certainly proven that they can be off and sometimes babies are big. Hope you have a better day and I completely support pouting as needed

Autumnsnow · August 2014

Just saw this today as well so sorry I wasn't here for support yesterday. You are not failing your baby. I'm sorry you were feeling down. I know you said you are feeling a little better but still sending lots of hugs...
As all the PP's have said some people just have big babies and also those scans are not accurate at all. One of my co-workers was carrying really big and the scan showed the baby was big as well. They took her two weeks early and the baby was only 7 lbs. In the other direction my sister wasn't carrying big, the scan was normal and my niece was 10 lbs. 8 ozs.
You are doing everything you can and know what you go through on a day to day basis with type 1 because I see what my DH goes through. You are going to be a great mom!!

schrijiver · August 2014

Just wanted to say major ((((hugs)))) for you. You are an awesome momma already and I know you are doing everything you can to grow a healthy taco baby. Fingers crossed that the growth scan is off, like PP said can happen. I know it can be hard to hear that something may be off, but I know you are doing the best for you and your baby so try not to let it get you down! I am here if you need me

lizgrace03 · August 2014

Was out and about last night and this morning and missed all this. Sorry to hear about this @missnacholover‌, but I agree with everyone else- you're doing a great job- don't beat yourself up!! Lots of hugs.

tigerpawie · August 2014

Hugs!!! I agree with everyone else, you seem to be on top of everything and things will be okay! It is so hard to predict baby size and weight from US and other factors. With DS, they said he'd be big so they scheduled an induction day after due date. I went into labor on due date. He was 8lbs. IMO it wasn't too bad. I was actually thinking 9-10lb! Was a little freaked out at the time worrying about his size. DD was also 8lb few days after her due date. My siblings were in the 9lb and 10lb range and late babies. We just generally have big babies in the family! Gut feeling LO will be 8lb too! FI doesn't want this one to be induced. So I am a little bit nervous about LO's weight if I decide to wait past duedate and let labor happen spontaneously.

Hang in there!

MrsC430 · August 2014

Mama Nacho- Sorry I am late to this, but I also wanted to send hugs & support. I think you're a very strong mama to be. Lil nacho is very lucky!

Our board's "ray of sunshine" can shove the negativity up her ass. People who are d-bags for NO reason suck. The rude comments on the FMLA/maternity leave thread from the other day were bullshit enough. Now this? GTFO. End rant.

Best response. If by pouting, you mean...i don't know...parenting? And proper parenting?

Love and support to you @missnacholover!

ETA: @carcrashheart: it's also a huge dick move to state that women who have GD and "aren't treating it" are to blame for any complications, or whatever the hell you implied. Not only were you rude to @missnacholover and seriously freaking heartless, but you were ignorant of the plight of women in the world, including our own country, who do not have the means to know whether or not they have GD and seek proper treatment for it. So in general, your entire message could have been looked over and reworded. IDK what you were implying, but it's like sanctimommies who talk about how natural is best and your body knows what to do, when women STILL DIE IN CHILDBIRTH. Ugh /socialjusticerant.

silverwings72 · August 2014

@clumsyatheart‌ - you are my new bump crush :x

musicalmommy3 · August 2014

No tips but you are doing everything you can for your little one. Also, these can be off by 2 pounds. It's possible he or she is only 2 pounds then right? If that's the case he/she is right on track.

It's hard to relax when you want to be able to control everything (as most of us mommies do), but please try to. Sending hugs!

AnnieRoo13 · August 2014

Super late to reply here, but I couldn't let this thread go without extending my support. I think everyone else has covered it, but you are an awesome lady and you're going to be an amazing momma. Don't let the bitches get you down!

hdall0807 · August 2014

Thinking of you! My son is measuring 2-2.5 weeks ahead and the 85% with his head being the 97%. I don't have GD. They think he will be 9+lbs, I think sometimes babies are just big. You are doing everything you can, try not o worry too much. Every baby is different, my DD isn't even on the growth chart and was just under 6lbs. So I am also hoping that the growth ultrasound is a bit off!

missnacholover · August 2014

Thanks everyone!!!

joshua+rebecca11 · August 2014

You are not failing your baby, so don't even let yourself think that.

You are bringing into a safe and loving environment, and that is so much more than a lot of children have.

As far as eating, could you cut out on simple sugars and white breads? I have a friend who did that to help keep her weight down with her pregnancies. Hugs to you - you're a great momma already taking care of your LO.

CarrieAnne09 · August 2014

@missnacholover‌ - I've been very MIA lately due to some stress at work. But I want to let you know I'm thinking of you and I know you are doing the best you can! My family has a lot of T1 diabetes and I know how hard it can be to manage and deal with. Keep your head up girlie - you are going to be a great mom.

creativesoul83 · August 2014

@missnacholover‌ I just seen this. first off ((hugs)) >:D< also you are awesome!! I am positive you are not letting down your baby!! I am sorry you are feeling down. My little one keeps being ahead of the game. It also seems that what they are measuring and whatreally weigh can be off. we know you would do the best you can for lo. Hope you're feeling better.

meeshybee · August 2014

I know I'm super late to this and don't really have anything too add, but ((huge hugs))!!! You are not failing your baby in the least, and definitely not pouting about it.
