new worries

35baby · June 2011

Used to worry about how small I was for 27 weeks. Also worried about how much stuff there was to get and how my boyfriend really isn't on board with this baby. Now I just found out that I am suffering with gestational D (you can imagine what it stands for, I cannot bear to spell it out.) Does anybody else have this affliction and are they worried about it's overall effect on them and on their baby? Does anybody know if it is temporary and will go away once you give birth? Does anyone have any eating/cooking ideas now that they are limited in what they eat? Oh and one last rant, but once they took the 3 or even 5 hour test did the results show that the inicial diagnosis was incorrect? Welcome any feedback thanks.

Gestational Diabetes is typically only during pregnancy and goes away once you have the baby. The questions about your health and the baby's health should be answered by your doctor.

There are tons of websites and blogs devoted to gestational diabetes cooking, google and see them. There are tons of options out there and it is definitely nothing to be worried about. I'm sure on your birth board or trimester board there are tons of ladies dealing with the same thing.

Good luck!

Also saying gestational diabetes isn't a death sentence by any means.
