gestational diabetes :'(

[CantWaitToLoveYou]

i just found out i have gestational diabetes.. i'm soooo upset i don't know how i'm gonna handle this :(

[rachyrou]

And I followed a low carb diet..no sugar only whole grain carbs lots of veg and protein xx

[CantWaitToLoveYou]

ok thank youuuu ladies. i'm gonna schedule an appt with the diabetes educator asap & try my best to get into the habit of eating healthy. i guess i have to look on the bright side, its only a few months & i might get extra ultrasounds out of it :)

I had gd with ny little girl and will probably have it with this pregnancy as I have pcos which is linked. If you need advice send me a message. My little girl was only 6lb 6 and she's fine plus I only gained7lbs my whole pregnancy cos I was eating so well..don't worry its for your baby's sake and I know its scary at first but in a few weeks you'll be used to it and think "what was I so worried about"

It has nothing to do with u please believe u did nothing wrong it is the way tbe hormones in the placenta react n not produce enough insulin which causes it. As long as u stick to the diet they give u everything should be ok for u stay strong

No my dr just called me & told me my results, theyre gonna refer me to one tomorrow. does it hurt priking your finger so many times a day? i'm starving right now just thinking about it!

u will be ok I eat every 2 hours the diet that I follow I have 2 carbs for breakfast then 2 hours later I will have a snack Wich  is 2 carbs then lunch I will have 4 carbs 2 hrs later a snack so forth... just the fact of knowing u can't eat what u want whenever u want is what gets me but my bf help keep me on track have u seen a diabetes educator yet?

increased risk to develop it later in life after delivery. &.i dont know how im gonna ***** myself four times a day! uuuggghh :( i already love my son though & ill do anything to keep him healthy.. btw i'm 28 weeks today. i hope i can get thru this!

[CantWaitToLoveYou]

i'm trying to be strong but i cant lie the tears are flowing :( i have NONE of the risk factors, thats why i'm confused.. i'm only 21, i weighed 135 prepreg & only gained 16lbs.. no one in my family has it.. this just S U C K S ! i can probably handle the healthy foods, but the small portions is whats gonna kill me, i love eating! lol & i just read you have an increase

[Mom2amiracle2012]

You're gonna handle it well because you are a strong woman who loves her baby very much!

Stay positive and do the best you can! :) You can do it!

My friend had it and it went away as soon as baby was born. The diet actually helped her lose a lot of excess weight both during and after her pregnancy. Try to look at it like a short term measure just like all the other things we have to give up while pregnant, you just need to be even more careful about what you eat and you almost definitely will go back to normal once baby arrives.
