I just found out that I have Gestational Diabetes. This is after I had scary AFP results a few months ago putting me at a higher risk for spina bifida (we had a level II u/s which looked ok), AND spotting in the first tri.
I am so exhausted by all the things that keep going "wrong". I am upset and feel like I can't do anything right, even though i know that I don't have much that I could do to change any outcome.
I also can't help but feel like with all of those things, maybe something is terribly wrong with the baby.
I am just so emotional and exhausted...
Thanks for listening to me let it out!
Re: Feeling frustrated and discouraged!
Ditto shari. Try to focus on what's going *right*...you still have a healthy baby in there and you've made it to 26 weeks. Lots of folks get GD for absolutely no reason.
Good luck with the diet modifications and all of that.
