@meka2013 You can eat grapes, apples, and strawberries in moderation. Pair them with some protein like cheese or nuts. Broccoli with cheddar cheese on top would be good. A cup of coffee with sugar free creamer is ok. French style green beans are good. Rotisserie chicken, fish, and lean meats are good. You will need to cut out the gravy and processed wheat. You could do a whole wheat pasta with cheese instead. I liked eating portabella mushrooms with marinara sauce and cheese on top baked in the oven. Instead of rice you could try cooked cauliflower crumbles. I hope this helps!

@yayacarrington, I weighed 7lbs and 8oz and like I said my first daughter was 9lbs 7oz 5 days late but the doctors said I was 2 weeks over

@meka2013 I weighed 5lbs 4oz when I was born. My oldest son weighed 7lbs 7oz and he was born 2 weeks late. I think my family just has smaller babies.

@yayacarrington, isn’t 6lbs small thou??

@yayacarrington, I like all fruit especially peaches.. I love fried chicken and steak.. rice with gravy.. brownies with walnuts, butter pecan ice..broccoli with cheese.. kraft Mac and cheese,coffee,donuts,corn, French style green beans,cereal, oatmeal, yogurt,chips

@blessed2018w9, right now my favorite meats are steak and chicken only

@meka2013 honestly? I wont lie lol I did the same as you..I ate up until I seen the Dietitian the following week..just be careful on the sweets kinda watch it still you can have any meats and still be ok

What kinds of things do you like to eat? Maybe I can help you find alternatives.

@meka2013 It would be a bad idea. Your job is to protect your baby. I know it's sad and frustrating. But now that you know, you can start making healthy choices for your baby.

I didn't have it with my first baby either. I had 2 GD babies. I was diagnosed at 10 weeks with my middle son. He weighed 6lbs. 1oz. With my last baby I was diagnosed at 30 weeks. I did take meds (glyburide) for him and he weighed 6lbs. 13oz. Both were induced at 38 weeks.

@meka2013 I understand completely!!!! I would have a bite or 2 from things I wasn't allowed to eat and then back it up with a bunch of water as well to help the sugar go down but what the doctors don't tell you is when you got GD the baby fluid can get more then it's supposed to if you eat sugar or starch that's what happen to me because I was eating wheat crackers with my coffee i couldn't help it !!!!

@blessed2018w9, is it a bad idea to eat all my favorite foods now cause my appointment next til next week? 🧐🤔🤔

@verguinia, just not having what I want to eat brokes my heart 💔💔💔

Now you will probably be on a spcial eating diet I had gastational diabetes when I was pregnant they told me to eat mostly protoine and salads and no sugar but I used to have spenda 1 with my coffee and the atkins diet bars helped my sweet craving

@yayacarrington, yes it’s very overwhelming cause now I have to be put on a diet when I’m starving 😢😢😢

@yayacarrington, awww thank you I just think it’s crazy cause with my first daughter I didn’t have it and she was 9lbs 7oz and now this one they took me outta work cause the baby was low weight and now she’s not but I failed both test smh this is confusing me 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ when you had your baby with gd how much did he weight??

@meka2013 I was diagnosed with GD at 10 weeks with my second baby. I was able to be med free by watching my diet extremely carefully. I won't lie, some days I cried. A lot. But my baby was born healthy and hasn't had any problems since. Just remember that the sacrifice is worth it and that it's temporary. I'm here if you need support.

@yayacarrington, everything you called I can’t have I love 😢😢😢 they just told I have to see a cardiologist now

It feels overwhelming, but it will be ok. As your placenta grows, it blocks your body from properly using the insulin that you're producing. As soon as you deliver, it should go away. In the meantime, snack on cheese and nuts. Stay away from processed sugar, starchy foods like potatoes, and tropical fruits like bananas or pineapple. Eat lots of veggies and balance your carbs with a good protein and healthy fats. Avocados are great. You should be meeting g with a nutritionist soon to help you with a meal plan.

@blessed2018w9, just the second time I did

Was you made to fast the first or 2nd time
