gestational diabetes

[slwilson23]

I currently found out I have gestational diabetes, just got my set today.. it's kind of depressing for me.. I know it will leave with the placenta once I have my baby.
just want to know if anyone else is going through this?

I'm 35 weeks today!

I had gd during my pregnancy. My level was not too high but i was under a lot od stress. As a result my baby was born at 36+days. He was under weight and had to stay at the hosp for 10days. So ladies please control ur diet and do not take stress.

I have it too. Found out at 29wks. Currently 37 weeks. It's not fun but I have it under control with my diet. One thing to be aware of STRESS!! It will increase your blood sugar so try not to stress too much because even if u are eating healthy and not taking in a lot of carbs, stress Does effect it.

yes me too! I have a paper n she went over it with me, I finally got the hang of it.. I don't over eat or have any sweets anymore, but she said in the future I'll have type 2 diabetes.

I have it as well and I am 36 weeks. At first I was heart broken and depressed. I mean I got the news from a phone call from my doctor while I was at work :( it got so bad to the point where I just didn't even want to eat because I didn't know what was okay and what wasn't. I went and saw a nutritionist and diabetes specialist and ever since I have felt a lot better! They broke everything down for me and even helped me right out a meal plan. I posted about this not too long ago so if you go to my previous posts you might find some good information :) it'll be okay ladies just remember it's only temporary!

Me. I've got it as well. 35 weeks today also. It's not a lot of fun. It's made me depressed. How are you controlling yours? I'm just watching mine with diet.
