33 week GD Mama Intro!

anewmrsS

I don't get to post on the boards a lot as I don't like mobile bumping, but Ive been lurking from work, and felt like I should intro since I really learn a lot from this board

 

I'm due Sept 8, but we scheduled a RCS due to my previous emergency c/s with DD1, and the GD diagnosis I received at 29 weeks, as well as a personal reason. I failed my one hour challenge miserably, and two draws of the 3 hour by 3-4 points each. I was heartbroken and angry and in disbelief. My numbers have been great, only making small changes, which has made this all much easier to swallow, but still a huge PITA. I figure it's better to go through the motions now, than potentially have a baby with huge blood sugar issues at birth.

I addressed all of my concerns about this with my doctor and she was able to answer all of my questions, and make me feel as comfortable as possible.

 

DD1 is 18 months old. I was bedrested with her at 35 weeks d/t PTL, but she stayed put until the day before her due date thankfully. 

 

I look forward to getting to know you ladies better, and thank you for unknowingly answering a ton of my questions

Welcome! The ladies on this board are very informational and supportive. Also, don't beat yourself up about the diagnosis. It's nothing you did or could do to prevent it...sometimes our bodies just react differently to pregnancy than others. It will all work out

Hi Shaina, welcome to "the GD club."  I lurked for a while on my birth month club board (Oct) but after the GD Dx this place has become more of a resource and Bump Home for me  If you have a question about GD someone here always has an answer!   I hear you with the PITA aspect - my numbers are pretty good but once in a while I cave to something and BAM numbers go up. 

But I digress. Again, welcome!
