Demolished my sugar intake last night. :'( All because i started craving cookies. We didnt really have any money, but since my cravings are very rare (and when i do have cravings they dont go away until i satisfy them) my husband gave me alil money to get some anyway. I ended up eating some out of each box (i got 3) right before bed time. Ima end up doing that again today to, and probably tomorrow. All bc it takes a few days to satisfy the cravings.
Still though...i was doing so good up until last night controlling my sugar intake...i feel guilty now because every bit of sugar over that intake limit that i have...increases the babys chance of getting what my dad has, and increases mine as well. Just because i struggle to keep my weight up, (before and well after the baby) doesnt mean that i cant develop my dads diabeties. I can be as skinny as i was before (all my bones showing...gross) and still get it, but now its not just me i have to worry about...its my baby to...whyd i have to have this craving? Please let my baby come out healthy...

You're going to be fine, my dad has diabetes. I did not get gestational diabetes and I ate poorly throughout my pregnancy. Even if you got gestational diabetes, it wouldn't mean that your baby would have it. It just means you would have to watch what you eat. A box of cookies isn't going to give you diabetes. It could be years of unhealthy eating and massive sugar intake, my father drank soda everyday all day and ate lots of junk food everyday before he got it. Also, even healthy people who watch what they eat sometimes get gestational diabetes. This is why they(OB)test you for it. But I think you will be fine. It's not good to worry. The baby can feel that. Just be happy and eat your cookies.

Type 2 diabetes can be environmental as well as genetic. If it's genetic you can not prevent your baby from being at risk for it. The only thing you can do is teach ur baby healthy eating habits. Even if you are unhealthy and god forbid got diabetes that doesn't mean ur baby will be born with it. If it's genetic only time will tell but they would just have to reduce the risk by living a healthy lifestyle which you can nurture from an early age.

@js_kidsmom i can actually get it though. Even though i havent gotten gentestional diabeties yet...its just that its defintely heritery for my family bc my dad was so young when he got it that he was pretty much born with it. So yea its scary bc if i do eat wrong i very well can get it, and my baby could defintly be born with it.
