Gestational Diabetes

I have just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. My head is spinning and I am not sure how to process this information. I have been referred to an endocrinologist and will see him in a week or two. Anyone else dealing with this diagnosis? My last birth was stillborn and I am terrified now for my baby and myself.

    I have GD and this is my fourth time dealing with it.  I can understand your stress after having a stillborn but you can absolutely have a perfectly healthy baby with a GD diagnosis.  I will tag you in the GD check-in so you can see some suggestions for your diet and what to expect before you meet with the endocrinologist.
