has anyone gone to the gestational diabetes class? I have to go tomorrow I want to know what to…

so you have it

I have and really there gonna talk bout what foods to eat but really just gotta watch what u eat and not over do it I had gd so that's really bout it

@me_preggo, yes

what is it that can cause it

@mamas546, thanks I figured as much. since I found out I've tried to cut carbs completely. my blood sugar jumped up to 150 after eating a whole grain wrap w only 15 carbs and it had 9 grams of protein. my doc thought that was too high so I think I've been keeping it under control. my cravings are so unfair though I hate it

trust me I'm going Thur that rite now and plus I've gained a lot of weight since I've been pregnant but your welcome sweetie

@me_preggo, for me it's hereditary. it's on both sides of my family. but staying active and watching your carb and sugar intake helps regulate your sugar. my doctor told me it has to do with the placenta and the hormones don't regulate the insulin you need during pregnancy

@mamas546, I put on 50 lbs and couldn't understand why I was gaining 10+lbs a month. I started out w a normal on the low side bmi. my feet and back do not like the weight gain. have you managed to maintain your weight since you found out?

It's a really good class honestly. They will teach you what to eat and how to regulate your blood sugar. You are supposed to have a certain amount of carbs/ protein per meal. I enjoyed the class just because it was a lot of good informationz
