Gestational diabetes is often no "caused" by anything you do.
With my first pregnancy I had it although I was eating REALLY healthy - all whole grains (not stuff that just said whole grains like bread, I'd eat the whole grain like brown rice and quinoa and oats), whole raw vegetables, lean meats, etc.
So if you look up a diet for gestational diabetes, and start following it now, you'll be doing yourself a favor. It's likely you do have it but can control your blood sugar through diet.
Best wishes. This can be managed. ;D
As much as we try to b healthy.. Its in gods hands!! And also passed down.... But dont say ur lettn ur child down!!
I failed my 1 hour but past the 3 hour so try not to worry until then. They don't even know why I failed the first one. I fasted both times. So you may be worrying for no reason. Best of luck!
Best way to avoid diabetes is to avoid grains and sugar. Do a search on diabetes and paleo or low carb. Eating foods that cause spikes in insulin such as grains is what leads to diabetes. Watch what you eat - stick to fruits, veggies, meat, dairy, cheese, healthy oils like coconut oil and olive oil and stay away from processed foods and you will see a huge difference in your healthy. you'll keep diabetes away forever. My dad is reversing his diabetes by changing the way he is eating. It is very healthy to eat this way and it is very good for your baby... you aren't failing your baby, you'll be fine. You're a good mom, just by writing and trying to find answers shows me that you care.. as a mom we worry about our child, even before they are here. It's our job to make sure they survive and make it into the world and the best way to insure this happens is through the food we eat. Trust me, it isn't easy.. but it will make all the difference in your health and in your baby's health..
I hope everything goes fine..! Best wishes!!
Its ok I failed with both my kids and went in and did the three hour test and everything was fine after that so dont worry you will be fine.
what happens if u fail them both? is your baby at risk?
I just feel like a huge failure because my mom had diabetes with me and i tried so hard to not get it..I feel like I'm failing my son
I failed it too and was borderline on my 3 hour...its pretty common to fail the first one
