article: Meet with your Ob-Gyn early on in your pregnancy, and frequently throughout, in order to ensure the health of you and your baby It is recommended that those at average risk for GDM have a screening performed during their second trimester -- between 24 and 28 weeks. If you are at high risk, your doctor may elect to test for diabetes during your first prenatal visit. Being a proactive and informed patient can help you effectively communicate your concerns to your doctor. When you make your appointment, ask if the doctor will order any tests, including a blood sugar screening, and if you should follow any food restrictions or fasting before your appointment. Go to your appointment with a list of any medications or supplements you are currently taking, as well as a list of any symptoms, concerns, or questions that you would like the doctor to address. Let your doctor know that you are particularly concerned about GDM, either because of your family history or other personal risk factors. Ask if they recommend any special diet, exercise, or testing plans for you to follow during your pregnancy. During your doctor's visit, you will likely be tested for GDM through an "initial glucose challenge test" and/or a follow-up "glucose tolerance testing." In the "initial glucose challenge test," you'll be asked to drink a syrupy, sugar solution and then, after an hour has passed, your blood will be tested to measure your sugar levels. If your blood sugar level is higher than normal, it only means that you are now considered at higher risk for developing GDM, and will need a follow-up glucose tolerance test to determine if you have GDM. However, if the value is above 200mg/dl. Then gestational diabetes is presumed. If the diagnosis is made early in pregnancy, then you probably have pre-existing diabetes, not gestational diabetes. In the "glucose tolerance test," you'll fast overnight and then have your blood sugar levels checked. Then, you'll drink a sweet solution (this time with a higher level of sugar in it) and your blood will be checked every hour for three hours. If at least two of the three sugar readings come back as higher than normal, your doctor will very likely diagnose you with GDM. Consult with your doctor to find a regular testing schedule and method that works best for you. Ask your doctor about what you should do to change your diet and exercise routines to help mitigate GDM during your pregnancy.

Put perishable food in a cooler with ice on the bottom and sides. Throw foods to grill in the cooler while they're still frozen. Pack items to deal with the weather."
article: Whenever you're outside, you're going to run into bugs. Plus, you don't want your food spilling out in the cooler. Pack your food in tightly sealed reusable containers to keep the bugs out and the food in! If you want simplicity, go for disposable options that you can throw away when you're done. For a more environmentally friendly option, opt for nonbreakable but reuseable plates and bowls, such as kids' plastic plates. Remember, you'll need to cart all those reusable plates back out with you! Don't forget napkins or paper towels, too. Add in a trash bag or a few grocery bags to cart home dirty items and gather trash. You may also want to bring hand wipes or hand sanitizer to clean everyone's hands before eating! Put nonperishable food on the bottom and any plates and flatware on top of that. Place the tablecloth or blanket at the very top so you can pull it out first to put on the ground or picnic table. Lay any fragile items on top so they don't break! You can also use a plastic bin or a cardboard box to carry items. If you're bringing food that could spoil before you're ready to eat, such as lunchmeat, boiled eggs, or fried chicken, make sure to pack it in ice to keep it chilled. That way, your food is less likely to go bad before you can eat it. Aim to fill 25% of the cooler with ice. For a large crowd, try keeping drinks in a separate container. That way, people won't be letting hot air into the the cooler where the food is. If you're just going 10 minutes away, you can skip this step. However, if you're traveling an hour or more, try keeping your meat frozen until you put it in the cooler. That way, it will stay at a safer temperature for longer. Be sure to wrap any raw meat up in a package by itself before putting it in the cooler. That way, you're less likely to contaminate other foods. If it's going to be chilly, pack extra jackets, scarves, and blankets just in case. If it's going to be hot, don't forget hats and bug spray. In either situation, always carry a bottle of sunscreen. You could also bring a large umbrella to protect you from the rain or sun!

Write an article based on this "Remember your relationship's positive aspects. Perform small acts of kindness every day. Go on fun, exciting dates together. Open up about your physical and emotional needs. Try to become physically intimate little by little."

Think about first meeting your spouse, your first date, when you got engaged, your wedding, and when your children were born, if you have any. Try to remember how you felt during these pivotal moments. Remind yourself that you and your partner have shared many wonderful moments, and there's a reason you've invested so much in each other. It's tough to rebuild a connection after years of monotony, stress, arguments, and everything else that comes with a marriage. Reminding yourself of your relationship's high points can help you focus on what you love about your spouse. The little things in life make a bigger impact than grand gestures, so show each other kindness every day. Pay each other compliments, write each other notes or emails, and do other small, random acts that show you care. For example, you could slip a note into their bag before they leave for work that says, "Have a fantastic day! I love you." You could let them know how nice they look, or do a chore they haven't gotten a chance to do. Try to schedule a date night every week, or as often as you can. To alleviate boredom, do something new and exciting each time. You could try out a new restaurant or cuisine, go to a concert, go hiking, or explore a new part of your city. You could also go on day trips or weekend getaways. If you have kids, ask your parents, in-laws, or a babysitter to watch them so you can spend quality time with your spouse. Tell your spouse you want to be open and honest with each other about your needs, wants, and desires. Let them know that they can trust you, and that they can share anything without fear of judgment. Say, "I'd like us to be honest about what we need from each other. I want to fulfill your emotional and physical needs, and we both need to let each other know how to be the best partner." It's scary to make yourself vulnerable and say, "I need you to tell me that you love me and find me attractive," or "I want to try something new in the bedroom." Having the courage to make yourselves vulnerable might be exactly what you both need to deepen your bond. It can be tough to rebuild a physical bond, so take it slow. Begin holding hands, hugging, and cuddling more often. As you grow more comfortable being physically intimate, work on touching each other, kissing and, eventually, having sex more often. Check in with your spouse to make sure they're comfortable. You might say, "Do you mind if I hold your hand?" while watching a movie, or ask if they want a back rub after a long day.
