hi ev1 I am 28 weeks along with our third child another girl and first time with the GD I'm still getting used to the finger pricks 4xs a day and I'm on my second round of ten fingers but they are starting to hurt more now and sometimes I'm getting instant bruises I've only been at this less than a week and with ten weeks left not sure how to get thru.
On top of it all it took me five days to poop and know I have to take a stool softener 2xs a day ugh
So that's my story
