2nd Prenatal visit

Feb 25, 2008 06:19PM - 1 comments

I had my second visit with the doctor today. I am 10 weeks! Belly is starting to pop out and I love it. The lil one is healthy with 178 beats per minute! I go back for an ultrasound in 2 weeks. I on  the other hand am not so healthy... I had to do the 1 hour glucose test last Monday and I found out today I failed horribly =(  I am going tomorrow for the 3 hour test. My doctor told me I have gestational diabetes and because I tested at 9 weeks and I have it, more than likely it carried over from everyday life. I was borderline with my daughter 2 years ago. I gained 60 pounds with her and didn't lose much of it. She told me I will more than likely have diabetes for the rest of my life. I've been watching my sugar and have lost 3 pounds since my last apt 2 weeks ago. They don't want me to lose wait while I am pregnant the doctor just said I should not gain any. That for a person who likes candy is going to be hard to do. I haven't had a candy bar in a week and a half. I am going to be healthy and I am going to try my hardest so I have a healthy baby! We wanted this child so much before we ever conceived. I thought for a second I felt a lil flutter today but it was probably my imagination with me only being 10 weeks. I'm trying not to get depressed about this but its hard, my life will never be the same again.

I know what you mean about trying to eat healthy. I am a VERY VERY picky eater. When my dh and I go out to eat at like a steak house, I usually end up getting either chicked or spag. So when we found out on V-day that I was pregnant, I started to eat as healthy as I could. Now with the m/c and all, we both have agreed to eat healthy still. That way when I do get pg again, I'll already have a healthy diet. I'm still taking my prenatal vitamins, and trying to eat all the daily 12 that I need. I did however quit drinking pop altogether, I first cut down on caff. then went off pop completely.

I am like you, I love candy bars and cakes. I try to limit myself to how much I eat of them. I also have sugar issues, They haven't told me if I have diabetes yet, but I try to keep my sugar in check. If I don't eat or drink anything that has some sort of sugar in it that day, I get really sick, like I'm going to throw up and only dry heave  and almost pass out.  So got to keep it in check. ;-)

Don't despair, tell your dr what you have been feeling and tell her that you love candy bars and see if maybe one every so often would be okay. See if they can give you something that will help you in the pregnancy, yet not let you lose weight.

If I can be of any help, I will. I'll pray for you.
