[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was insulin dependent with my third and never had an issue with my OB. That’s insane.

I’m not a doctor, but the GD didn’t really effect me. However, they tried to give the baby formula almost immediately because of low blood sugar. She was borderline low so I asked/insisted they let me try and nurse her more to see if that would work. [/quote]

Did it "work" PP? I. Ant believe you'd put your baby at risk against medical advice. [/quote] I’m surprised by this too. I am pp that had GD and delivered at Sibley with Foxhall. Baby had low blood sugar and I said give all the formula!! Sadly it didn’t work and DC had to be in the special care nursery for almost 1.5 days.  [/quote]

NP - my DS has low blood sugar - I nursed him and he was monitored (which would happen with formula anyways) until he had three tests above the cutoff. There was no mention of using formula unless he didn’t stabilize within 24 hours. If it dropped drastically I’m sure more intervention would have been discussed. A lot depends on the individual doctor on duty and hospital protocols. [/quote]
