Hi. I'm 32 weeks pregnant today and I went to the Dr this morning and she found sugar in my urine. Said I have to take a 3 hour glucose test now and then we'll go from there. Has anybody dealt with diabetes during pregnancy or in the same boat as me? It has me stressed would like to hear some stories!

I got it and iam not gonna lie it makes pregnancy 100 times more stressful :( I have to pinch myself and check my blood 4 times a day and record it they give u a super strict eating diet and schedule tha u have to follow and eat at certain times. I cant wait till its over :( and the risk of having it for the baby is if u dont control the sugar ur baby can be born with pancrea problems thus leading to obesity. And for u oncebu get gestational diabetes theres a high risk of getting diabetesnin ur life later on so it really suckssss!!!!!

I had it with my first pregnancy. Its not so bad, just watch what you eat. I had to prick my finger after every meal to make sure my sugar levels were fine.
