Well, you guessed it...I was diagnosed the day I turned 28 weeks with gestational diabetes...waaahhhh. I'm slowly getting over the shock of it. I'm feeling all the emotions and hoping I can get through this 3rd trimester ok. So, I have to wait for my insurance company to approve me seeing a specialist and once I get that, then make an appt with them. I'll be getting my meter to check my blood levels. I have to eat totally different now. Which is okay but not having as much sugar is going to kill me lol. I'll update more once I have more info and a meal plan. I've just been doing a lot of research online and I hear a lot of babies are born early (36-39 weeks) because babies usually tend to be bigger with GD. Which I thought would happen anyways to be honest. I'll have to go to the doctor's office more often now to get non stress tests done twice a week and make sure baby is okay. Which I'm kind of happy about because I am getting more attention towards the baby now.
I have my normal doc appt scheduled for next Thursday. At least it's only for a little bit and not the whole pregnancy, thank god
I didn't realize how great the 2nd trimester was until now... :(
Well, until next time...I will update soon.
*Here is a pic of me at 27 weeks. Before I found out I had GD.
