Thank u ladies very much I appreciate all the feed back .. my normal for fasting is between 70-90 and after my meals its 90-120 but sometimes I be over not by much .. I asked my rn supervisor and she said as long as im not in the 200s. .. but I do.think the dr may put me on insulin im 33 weeks I hope not tho ..

My doctor wants me drinking 64oz of water a day, along with milk and juice too. I don't have diabetes so it may be more for you. Drinking plenty of water helps with stretch marks as well.

Every Dr has a different way of handling gd/diabetes, but all agree on portion control. Depending on where ur at, u could ask Dr to meet with a nutritionist to help u understand and set specific goals for you. Or if u are on or have access to wic they can help too. For me my goals are fasting level between 70-90, and 2hours after a meal 90-110. I am also on medication to help control mine now, however I wasn't when I had gd. l don't mind answering any ? U have , if I can.

I am 16 weeks and I don't think I've felt my baby move. Everyone keeps asking me if I have and making it seem like it's uncommon not to have felt anything yet. Is that true? Should I be worried?

I need to drink more water.

Ive had gestational diabetes, but 10yrs later am a type 2 diabetic.  Control both with drinking extra water, portion control, extremely limiting carbs, n exercise. I still drink soda, eat candy.. Just not a lot and always followed by water.  When I eat bread its 1slice, 1/2 roll, etc.. Potatoes 1/4cup to 1/2 cup with protein (chicken, steak) 4-6oz per meal. They say eat every few hours, my schedule makes that difficult. Walking after meals is helpful too. I'd see how much sugar is in the drink pouches. They'd be ok every now n then but probably not all the time.

Ok thank you that's part of the reason why I try to drink a lot of water because of gestational diabetes .. do.you have diabetes or gestational diabetes if you dont mind me asking .. I am having a hard time trying to control my diet I just cut my portions down from what I normally eat but I dont drink soda I drink Hawaiian punch pouches and I eat sugar free candy but there are days I want the real stuff

4-5 bottles of water is not going to harm u. I drink at least 6 20oz bottles per day and my Dr want me to drink even more. I'm diabetic and if I drink juice/soda or eat sweets I have an extra bottle of water. Keeping well hydrated helps keep sugar levels good.

Maybe about 4-5 water bottles a day just depending but I have gestational diabetes and the doc always tell me to always drink water all the time

Well it can be dangerous, Although rare, people can have serious side effects and death due to consuming too much water. How much are you drinking daily?
