I'm always on time, and I've never canceled or refused an order. But over the past two weeks, my best paying orders cancelled. 3 times in one day!

I called Spark to find out what was going on, and apparently the Walmart employees are marking me as refusing the orders or saying I wasn't there on time which is completely false.

I had to file a report with Spark because this keeps happening. Has anyone else had this issue with a Walmart store?

Had my 36 week scan and have so much anxiety. Baby has been consistently around the 50% percentile overall in terms of growth however his femur has declined in % since 28 weeks, went from 17% to 10% to now 5.7% at the last scan. His head is around 50% and belly is 80%. Dr didn't even mention anything or put anything in the report. Told me baby was fine. Just to me it seems like such a drastic jump downward. I would love to hear others experiences with this. His humerus is normal. Only the femur is showing lag.

I had my 36 week growth scan today, and I noticed my baby's femur measured in the 5.7th percentile. At 28 weeks it was in the 10.7th percentile, and at 20 weeks it was in the 17.1st percentile. The femur has continued to grow, but the percentile has gradually decreased. The baby overall is measuring in the 54th percentile, and everything else is measuring average or above average.

My OB has never mentioned anything about the femur, and today I only saw the ultrasound tech, so I have to wait for my OB to follow up with me. I'm a nervous wreck in the meantime. Has anyone else experienced an isolated small femur with everything else measuring normally? If so, how did things turn out?

This has absolutely nothing to do with them being trans or anything else. I have always found them extremely unlikable, and I have felt that way from the beginning. It seems like in this subreddit, if you say anything negative about them, people immediately cuss you out and call you a transphobe. What the fuck? That does not happen with any of the other children. How are we supposed to treat everyone the same if any criticism of one person is automatically dismissed as bigotry?

For those of you with gestational diabetes that is being controlled with diet alone, what are your usual fasting, 1-hour, and 2-hour blood sugar readings?

​

I've been logging my blood sugar and am fairly certain I have some degree of gestational diabetes or insulin resistance. I'm not doing the glucose tolerance test because it makes me extremely sick from previous bariatric surgery but I've been doing my best to track everything consistently.

​

I've noticed that my numbers tend to hover around the cutoff values. Sometimes they're under, sometimes they're over. My fasting numbers are usually 90 to 98. My 1-hour readings are typically 130 to 150. By 2 hours, I'm usually under 120, although if I've eaten a higher-carb meal, I can occasionally still be around 130. That doesn't happen often, though.

​

I have an appointment next week and I'm wondering whether these numbers are high enough that my doctor will likely recommend insulin, or if diet management might still be considered sufficient.

​

For context, I'm already scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks because of my age. At my 32-week growth scan, baby was measuring around the 50th percentile. I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant.

AFI has increased from 11 in April to 20.9 now. I haven't spoken to my doctor yet, but because my blood sugars haven't been the best lately, I'm pretty sure I may have GD. This all seems to have come out of nowhere because my blood sugars were great when I tracked them from 26 to 28 weeks, and now I'm 32 weeks. For moms who had higher fluid levels, did your AFI stay on the high end of normal, increase to polyhydramnios, and end up being nothing serious? I've only been considered high risk because of my age. I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, so I don't do the glucose tolerance test and instead monitor my blood sugars at home. I stopped tracking after those two weeks but continued checking occasionally, and lately I've noticed my fasting numbers are usually around 97 to 103. I didn't think much about it at first because I haven't been eating the best. But for the past 4 days it's been high mostly in the morning. With the higher AFI, I'm becoming more concerned that GD could be the cause. My biggest worry right now is the fluid level. I googled and now I'm terrified I'm starting a diet today that cuts out refined carbs and added sugars. This is all really stressful, but I do have an appointment with my OB first thing tomorrow.
