I had my consultant meeting today and found out I have gestational diabetes which led to a scan and…

They haven't said anything to me about putting weight on afterwards.. if you stick to the diet you should be fine.. They've said that breast feeding will help with my weight afterwards.. I'm expressing my milk though as I don't want to breast feed xxx

@nicolemariehooperxo, I will ask when I'm at my next appointment but I won't be breastfeeding as it frightens me to much lol xxx

Said to exercise too but it's hard with a bump 😂 xxx

No it's means you have a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes.

Gestational diabetes means your baby is more at risk of a lot of fact factors, it's not something to take lightly you need to manage your diet both now and after pregnancy if you don't want it to become a longterm illness.

My scan at 27 w was 2lb 4 so not that much different x

^^^ couldn't of said it better myself 👍👍 @jamelauk xxx

My babies 3lb at 29 weeks xxx

@nicolemariehooperxo, literally I can barely even put my shoes on let alone exercise😂xxx

@olivia_monique hahahaa!! Same! Bending is exercise now!! 😂😂

@olivia_monique lol scared of what exactly!? You should atleast try and give baby your milk when born as theres a chance baby will be hypo when born or soon after (sugars extremely low) and your milk will take care of that and sustain it. Its only for the 1st 2 days but yeah you would lose weight from doing it on a regular basis

@jamelauk, I don't know what I'm scared of during breastfeeding ive just never been comfortable with trying it with my first so I wouldn't with my second

@olivia_monique arh well atleast you've tried, you could always just express as mentioned before but that first bit of milk that first comes in is literally like gold dust x

I have GD and at 32 weeks my baby was weighing 5lbs I need to have another growth scan ASAP as he’s weighing big x

@tashbash96, I'm so scared for labour and the plan if she's weighing to big!xx

@olivia_monique, that’s exactly why I’m scared but there looking at induction anyway I’ll find out in 2 weeks. Xx

@tashbash96, can you eat what you want but you just have to watch how much you eat?xx

@olivia_monique, nope I’m needing to watch, been told no sugary stuff, chocolate or coffee and that, need to have more carbohydrates but a decent sized plate with bits. I have been so Ill through this and on tablets and insulin as I’m not coping well, not long to go so I can’t wait xx

@tashbash96, it's so stressful with cravings!!😩 and aww bless you hopefully you feel so much better afterwards!xx

@olivia_monique, I know tell me about it! I’m craving crisps and fruity sweets it’s horrible 😓😂! Just can’t wait for everything to be over with. In love with watching one born every minute on catch up at the moment 😂 xx

@tashbash96, it is horrible😂 I love that program I was obsessed with it when I was pregnant with my daughter now I don't have the time of day to watch it!😂xx
