Then we had Peyaju and lunch (rice and dhaal for me, Iain had keema too). And I was worried later as my sugars went up again.
I had forgotten my Metformin - I thought we were going home right after lunch.
We didn't - we went to the Vue and saw Prince Caspian - which we loved, but I was hungry too and so had peanut M&Ms as the least risky item available at the Vue. So then at least the sugars didn't go up, but 2 hours later they hadn't really gone down. Back at home I crashed - I was feeling the high levels, I was grumpy, sad, disappointed, a bit worried - not much, two readings under those circumstances .... could have been a lot worse.
I slept for I guess 3 hours. So went without food for far too long ... almost 6 hours by the time I ate something and I was suffering a bit by then. Iain had let me sleep (when will he learn!!!) which really messed me up as it took all of the next day to actually get back to some kind of normal. I missed the meal, which was bad, specially after eating 3 meals that dod not work for me. Then because I slept all evening I could not sleep at night - not till about 4 am or 4:30. I had to get up and listen to podcasts and spend time on SoulCysters.
It was while being up all night and before that, late in the evening that I had the contractions. So many of them! Then I realised some were BH and some were just the baby rolling to one side of me, with all his weight. Phew!
Actually the first lot - not sure if they were practice surges or the baby - started when we got home, before I crashed. I had pain too. Muscles all tensed and bunched up, and was suffering because of the lactose intake. A bad combination, I had to have Iain's help to breathe and calm down and relax. We put on a hypnobirthing visualisation and it worked. I slept after that.
Alls well that ends well, but I gotta watch it with the food and relax more.
