Gestational diabetes

[cherylsangel]

Well, I had my doctors appt last wed and he referred me to a diabetes specialist. He said I was borderline and although not diagnosing me with GD he wants me to take precautions, so today I had my asessment and I now have to take my sugar levels 4 times a day and pee on a stick every morning. Thank god I only have another 9 weeks to go. Maybe earlier if I have a big baby.
Oh, I really hope that Fynn is ok and that I will not have to have a C-Section. Just wanted to vent about all this, I am really worried about the outcome of my delivery and of course my baby boy!

This is my 3rd pregnancy, my first 2 were borderline and this one is full gestational.  You have nothing to worry about being borderline just stay away from all sweets and you will be ok.

YAY! that gives me hope!. The only other problem is I've already maxed my lbs, ive already gained 47 lbs so far and i till have 9 weeks to go, I am hoping I havent screwed my chances for a healthy baby and good delivery. But your story gives me hope!

I was borderline with my last pregnancy and my doc just said to watch my sugar intake.  My son was born on his due date and was 7 lbs 15 oz and a vaginal delivery.
