I know I also need to see an ob so please don't tell me that I've heard it so many times & will be soon, I'm just worried about everything I was told & wanted to know information, maybe ur experiences & or if u know anything it could possibly be. "I was in the hospital yesterday & was told that my blood sugar levels or something was really high, but wouldn't anyones if say they just ate or what not, if that makes sense. Also the doctor said possibilty of passing out & my other symptoms were because of that I might have gestational diabetes. I have to burn marks on my fingers & I know my father having diabetes & when he has an open wound it doesn't heal like it should. About the 2 burn marks, of course blistered, popped or whatever & are now tryin to heal I take care of them like I should so they can heal properly clean them sometimes put a bandage on it when take it off at night & when I'm not really doing much at home. I know its not good to keep something covered all the time but also when doing something you know will get in a cut or whatever its good to keep something over it. They are still both infected, this is the 2nd time. I know its prob gross, but the first time I noticed they were infected I reopened the one & did what anyone would normally do so a cut & so on can heal properly there is a scab closing over the burns but it seems like no matter what I do or anyone else suggests they still close up looking infected.I do have some of the symptoms listed below, but me being pregnant some of them would be usual as it it so it's hard to tell. I have noticed weight loss, ha everywhere but my stomach. Legs arms but have been eating like crazy, healthy of course but still getting light headed, don't have energy some morning I can't even get out of bed I feel so drained. Some days are better then others, sometimes throughout the day I do get a burst of energy and will do things around the house since I can but my energy drains very quickly. The doctor also said about my placenta being over the cervix and the risk and things that could possibly happen, what do you think the chances are that things will be okay and if it doesn't move or what not by the time the baby is born will I have to have a cesarean
Tabea - Nobody can diagnose you over the Internet. If you are worried, please get your blood sugar tested.
ReplyDeletewdw - For one, let it breathe, take the bandages off, clean with peroxide, keep clean & let the air do it's thing, after it scabs over, you can try swabbing it a couple times a day with which hazel until it completely heals (I swear by which hazel, the stuff does wonders for anything from scrapes & burns to hemorrhoids....lol)
ReplyDeleteDr.dhananjaya Bhupathi - yes.

Brandi C - ...If your blood sugar levels were really high, then you need to take that serious, especially since your showing some signs of having problems healing and since you have a family history of diabetes. Your blood sugar levels will fluctuate quite a bit depending on what you just ate. Once you go to your OB they will order a blood glucose test to check your fasting levels as well. If the doctor is warning you that you might pass out, I'm thinking your blood sugar levels were pretty high. Take this serious. Passing out is not the worst thing that can happen. Your baby needs the healthiest environment available for it.
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed with gestational diabetes 2 months ago, but it sounds like your numbers are worse than mine...my experiences cannot compare to yours. If your dad has diabetes, you can probably get a lot of information about how to eat right and keep healthy from him.
Regarding your placenta being over the cervix, that's a serious thing too. I wouldn't get too worried about it, depending on how far along you are it could still move away from the cervix. If it doesn't move you'll probably have to have a C-Section.
Start writing down questions for your OB, do some research, and get some nutritional help for the gestational diabetes so that you don't have to take unneeded medication.
Good luck!
