So another update on Blood Sugars: did my 2 week log of finger sticks and my doctor circled all elevated numbers and it was about half of them. I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes at almost 33weeks pregnant. I have to continue doing my sugar checks, take a class about GD at the hospital I am delivering at, and do weekly diabetes check ups. Thank God I have less than 7 weeks left. Just seems like it's going to be a long 7 weeks. 194 finger sticks to go lol. What gets me is because I've only gained 9.5lbs this whole pregnancy I was told by ALL Drs to eat whatever I wanted and craved since I have to force myself to eat and now I'm diabetic and have to manage my diet. Well idk what to manage the last thing they can do is stick me on an all veggie and peanut butter diet!! Feeling frustrated. This pregnant has been so rough. I'm high risk and now I'm diabetic. Sydney Lynn I love you baby girl but give mommy a break 😂😘😱

In the exact same boat girly. I was just diagnosed 3 weeks ago. It was SO hard at first and I haven't gained any weight this pregnancy, only lost. In the beginning, I cried anytime I was over cuz a nurse scared the hell out of me. But the class helped so much and they helped me understand ways to make things easier

Aw @caitlynmiller thank you for that. I hope you as well get through this. I'm just very confused and it's like I have no clue how I'm supposed to change anything because I also have stomach issues so I had to change my diet last November to eat cleaner and healthier and I also have other health issues as well and I became lactose intolerant during this pregnancy so it's like "why" me??!! I have enough on my plate. I'm 5 9 and my pre-preg weight was 136-I never though I would get gestational diabetes. I'm 145 now. I'm just like whatever. As long as baby girl is ok and she is im OK. We go for an ultrasound today (on our way now) so we will see how much she weighs.

There are some pretty weird factors that can make a person have it. Especially if you don't eat very often or go hours and hours without eating. Which I did lol. They said it makes your body go into starvation mode and your body creates more glucose which raises your sugar levels. It's crazy. I luckily have a mild case and can get away with a lot. Let me know what they say about baby ☺️

I was told if you sleep too long your fasting sugars will be elevated. That blew my mind. @caitlynmiller

@caitlynmiller, oh sorry baby is fine she's right on target weighs 4lbs 6oz and perfect lol I love my high risk dr I "hat" my regular OB. I have to call now until 36weeks with my blood sugars to see if my appt needs to be moved up and be put on Meds. I rather be put on Meds because honestly idk how this diet thing is going to work. I literally force myself to eat just to do the finger sticks. Very rough pregnancy but she's beautiful and on target and that's all that matters. Only gained 9.something pounds and she's half of the weight I gained lol.
