I just had my first appointment with the diabetes doctor this morning. I was super nervous and scared. I just have to keep track of my blood levels this week, then go back to go over them. Also have a class about it on Thursday. So far it's not as bad as I was thinking.
Thank bsharp...thts very reassureN
Thank you bsharp your post was really helpful i have gained alot of weight this is my third baby and my dr said i had a chance of gd, i will find out in october and my nerves are shot with worry
I just wrote about this in another post. I had GD with my first child. I'm about 7 weeks with my second and am expecting to have it again. I know it's scary believe me. I was scared ******** when I found out. After I saw a nutritionist and started doing research on GD and diabetic diets, I started to calm down. Turns out, I was able to control my GD with diet alone. I just really had to pay attention to what I was eating and the carb to protein ratios. In the end, everything turned out just fine. My son was born perfectly healthy. He was just bigger than normal - 9 lbs 14oz. My doctors said there was no way to determine if that was from the GD or the fact that my husband was that large when he was born. (Or a combo of both) I still had a vaginal delivery though with no complications.
It's impossible not to worry, I know. But if you listen to your doctors and closely monitor your diet and blood sugar you and your baby will be fine.

1hr test...my glucose level was 246& they said the cut off is 135
Was it the 1 hour test? Or the 3 hour?
