![[VLOG] Taking my dreaded Gestational Diabetes Test 🙏 what I’ve been eating lately | MONGABONG](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WaTucbghCMM/mqdefault.jpg)
This makes me so happy to see! Congratulations to 3rd trimester!
We just had a failed FET on our first try. Praying for better news in our near future. It feels so lonely and isolating but watching you and seeing the joy on your and Jack’s faces make me hopeful. This is more than enough to YOUR WHY in sharing your journey and allowing us to join you. You’re a blessing, if no one has already told you today. I’m documenting our journey too. As hard as it is to pull out the camera when you’re feeling not your best.. ❤❤ sending my love!
I absolutely love when you post. I love watching how caring, and loving your relationship is with your husband.
Thank you so much Amy! 💕
So happy to hear you passed! I also couldn’t wait to drink water after my test, and they made me fast before. Your breakfast and Jack’s cake looks amazing!
EEEKKK 32 weeks now , you and my daughter are 1 day apart, your looking radiant and you seem so happy 😊 happy days ❤
So exciting! Thank you! 💕
UGG I hate the sugar rush....I was thirsty all day. So glad you're doing well. That's a test you hate doing twice.🥰
I can't imagine having to retake it! My heart goes out to those that had to do the 3 hour 😅
I can't click on these videos quick enough, thank you for sharing this wonderful journey with us!
Thank you for watching Penny! 💕
Rest well and prayers that we will see a healthy baby very soon.
Congratulations on another pregnancy milestone passed. Hugs from Houston ❤
Hi Mac, glad everything went well with the glucose test I know it’s not nice but it’s done and everything is fine which is fantastic. Thankyou for sharing this special journey. Baby girl is growing well. Big hugs 🤗 Mac your doing so well. Sending lots of love your way xxx 💗🥰
Thank you for watching Louise! ❤️
Congrats on passing🎉🩷 My kids are both in their twenties now but I still vividly remember how just generally yucky that test made me feel (and I passed too). So excited for the day you two get to hold this baby girl in your arms!
Thank you!! She's so worth it but it wasn't the most fun test for sure 😅💕
Jack's a real one using Maine wild blueberries!!! Hehe thank you for sharing this journey with us! So excited for you both 😍
You should see him seeking out all the local Maine produce when he comes grocery shopping 😂 thank you for watching Lauren! 💕💕
@@macdingle so sweet 🥹🥹
So happy that you passed ❤
Its going so quick, cant wait to meet bsby girl 💗
It's such a beautiful thing to grow a little human I loved pregnancy and enjoy it you guys deserve all the happiness ❤
I've loved it as well, it's such a special time! 💕
A tip i got from a lactation specialist at the hospital was to ask anyone that wanted to bring food over after the baby was born to pre portion everything into individual meals. Then you can have a serving of lasagne instead of thawing and eating a whole lasagne for days. If you pre make food do the same and freeze it in individual meal size so you get variety. You'll be surpized how much energy it take to scoop out serving sizes when you havnt had rem sleep in an enter day.
Tell Jack to sprinkle some flour on the blueberries next time to keep them from settling! Love your videos and so excited for you both!
He says thank you! ❤️ He tossed them in some flour but we definitely need to do a bit more and try again!
I legit love you guys yous are going to be amazing parents to little princess xx
Thank you so much 🥹💕

I'm glad you passed your Glucose test. Yes it's good to get some rest. God bless your family 🙏 Love you guys 💗
Thank you so much ❤️
Yay! So pleased you passed ❤
Congratulations 👏 On Passing🤰!! I'm Sending 💌 Y'all Lots Of Blessings 💞 & Prayers 🙏 From GOD 🙌 In JESUS CHRIST 🙌 Mighty Name Amen💖
Hey there…when adding berries to a ‘cake’ reserve a 1/2 cup or so of the flour, toss and coat the berries in the flour and then add the mixture back in. It will help the berries stay suspended in the mixture. Happy Baking!!😊
He says thank you! ❤ he tossed them in a little bit but definitely needs to add more for next time!
Mac I’m so proud of you for how well you have taken this journey I been watching you since I was three months pregnant. My baby is now eight months I was hoping we could be pregnant together lol but now that I’m seeing your beautiful baby bump grow and how happy you are I am so over joyed to see your bundle of joy I cry with you so many episodes watching, and now I cry of happiness watching your episodes, thank God for blessing you with this beautiful bundle of joy. Congratulations. Love the millers.
That is so special 🥹 congratulations on your little miracle, I'll be joining you in motherhood soon! ❤️
I’m so old they didn’t do the glucose screening. I’ve seen others do it & it wasn’t too bad for them.😊
It really wasn't bad at all! And I've heard from people in different countries that they still will only screen if they suspect GD - kinda wish that was the case because it wasn't super duper fun 😅
I remember my first pregnancy. It was so nice to take that time and just relax. Have one-on-one time with your husband. Taking naps in the afternoon while my husband made dinner. Then kid two happen...🤣🤣🤣 I remember vomiting my glucose test all over the sidewalk while I had a two-year-old on my hip. Such crazy fun memories! ❤❤❤
Every time we have time to go to appts together or we have time to work out logistics like we did this morning, I literally say to Jack "we're so lucky, there's no way we would be able to do this if we had a kid already" 😂
You are sooooo adorable, GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR HUSBAND and soon to be BABY GIRL!💜❤️💗💚🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💖🥰😍😘
Thank you so much 🥹💕
As you continue your pregnancy journey, grab a many rest days as possible. Growing a tiny human is hard work on your body. Your body needs the extra rest. It's good for you!
This is so true 😅 I need to get better at letting myself relax!
I had my screening last Thursday. I def set my appointment at 9am and just fasted. I passed! With my first baby, I ate a light breakfast and didn't pass then had to do the 3 hr 🫠. This time around, I didn't want to risk it!
How many hours did you fast?
I'm so happy you passed!! You must have been so relieved this time around 😅💕
@katjavestergaard489 I didn't eat anything after dinner the night before so maybe about 12 -14 hours
@@macdingle VERY! 🥰
I don't know why but I was convinced I was going to fail and then when I got my blood levels back from the screening test they were 83 (so almost hypoglycemic I think... The range was 80-140). I ate eggs and a peach about an hour beforehand. I was going to just eat eggs but then I woke up feeling sick (28 weeks and nausea is still going strong!) so I added in the peach. I had the lemon lime flavor and it tasted like a slightly off Gatorade. Not terrible not delicious.
In France you have to do the 3 hours test off the bat. Everyone told me the test tasted SO HORRIFIC but it really wasn’t that bad. Apparently it depends a lot on which flavour you get. I had lemon and lime which is apparently the best one. I was offered that or orange or cola. You’re not allowed to eat or drink (apart from water) at all for at least 12 hours before the test. So by the time you’re done you’re pretty hungry 😅
That would be hard.
I had lemon lime too and it wasn't bad at all! Although I truly don't know how you made it without eating 12 hours before for a 3 hour test 😅
Same here in Australia 🥲 I'm about to do my test with my second baby, so wish me luck!
So glad you're ok. I was t a lucky one. You've been so lucky. But now here comes the no energy stage because your tiny human is growing so much now.
20+ years ago that glucose intolerance test was a fasting test and you had to get your blood drawn before you had the drink then an hour after then ago another hour past that hour.
you all are seriously super heroes for going through that test, I cannot imagine 😅💕
oh man for all 4 of my pregnancies i was told i couldn't eat anything before so drinking that drink on a empty prego belly was terrible and i had to drink it right in front of them they told me they couldn't even leave the room till i was done drinking it...
I cannot IMAGINE! You are a super hero 💕
so glad you passed. get plenty of rest because when baby comes you can say goodbye to rest. lol
Newborn tired is completely different than end of pregnancy tired!! It was always so strange when people made those comments! 😅
Thank you! ❤️ Or the ones that just tell me pregnancy is only going to get more uncomfortable from here as if I don't realize it 😂
Yay for passing!! And just want to say you’re allowed to complain about pregnancy even when you’re super grateful for it! because pregnancy and motherhood are not for the weak! 👏🏼😘❤
Honestly, thank you for this 😅 I find myself feeling guilty complaining about tough pregnancy things since we fought so hard to get here, but this stuff can be tough!
@@macdingle oh yeah, I understand the mom guilt! it’s not always easy and fun and that’s okay!! Your feelings are so valid ❤️❤️
When I did the glucose test, I really didn’t think the drink was bad at all (my baby however, thought otherwise) I threw up the first time so I had to do it a second time, 2nd time I failed it so I had to do it a THIRD time. I was over it! 😂
Karen, I would be SO over it 😅 you're a trooper!!
Did u work during ur trnsfer days please
My clinic did not let me eat anything from the midnight till 8 am, it was miserable
I am so sorry, I would be SO sad!
❤️❤️❤️👋😁
💕💕💕💕💕
Running water sound from kitchen sink made it very irritating to hear what you were talking.
wait until there's a baby around here with some cartoons in the background 😉
@@macdingle Thanks. But pls don’t take your viewers for granted. It’s home and we agree some background noise will be there. But most of the times it’s running water sound close to camera. Listen your vlogs and you yourself will realize it.
@@nitishasuryawanshi9988 Oh I edit my vlogs and re-watch multiple times 😂I don't carefully cater my content around what is going on around us in real-life (dishes, fans, etc.), so we will have to agree to disagree and that's totally okay if that's not for you!
