Vent. Of course it was going too smoothly

Sigh...I was hoping to make it through this pregnancy like a "normal person" but I guess that is not meant to be.  Last time with LA, I developed Gestational hypertension and then of course, with the concerns about her, I had to do all the NSTs and whatnot.

Things have been going to smoothly, so of course that meant I had to freakin fail my 3 hour glucose test and get diagnosed with gestational diabetes.  Are you kidding me?  Now I get to have the "fun" of dealing with all that and reading all the "wonderful" side effects it could have on DD2.

Just want to be "normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I had GD with DS1.  It truly was no big deal.  Eat every 2-3 hours.  Count carbs, drink water, exercise.  Test blood.

Bonus: I gained 28lbs during the pregnancy, lost 18lbs in the process of delivery and was back at pre-pregnancy weight at my 6 week pp check up.  Babe was a healthy 8lbs8oz.

It'll be ok.

gah!

Sorry I know all too well how much it sucks not to get the normal pregnancy.

Hugs!

Ugh. Just annoying. I always feel like, "I don't have time to have my own special needs."

You will get through this. Hang in there!

I'm sorry that you had this curveball thrown at you. I used to work as a mother baby nurse and the GD babies very rarely had any issues, so don't let Dr. Google scare you.

I'm sorry. I hope it turns out to be easily controlled and doesn't affect you or LO too much!

same here. I feel like I really missed out on my pregnanct with DD1 with finding out her DX at 30weeks and being induced. Now I have placenta previa. Ugh

I wish you well on your pregnancy and that everything goes okay for you
