Totally normal to feel like this. It really knocked me the first time I was diagnosed too. As long as it’s looked after and kept in control, everything will be ok. But what you’re feeling is completely valid x
I’ve just been told too i am gutted 😞
If it makes you both feel better, I got it at 5 weeks this time!
I am devastated that I might not have the water birth plan and natural birth I wanted… I am terrified of being induced…. And constantly monitored and not able to move around…. And of course all my cravings are like chocolate cake and juice and ice cream…. And blueberry waffles!! 😭. I don’t know how I’m gonna survive!!!!
I am joining the club of GD 🤦♀️ Big hug for all in this situation! Let's go for it! We can do it! 💪
just to add just in case it helps my perspective: after release initial emotions, I am seeing it as an opportunity to learn how my body reacts to food and to learn what food is better for me which also has an impact in a long term. Just having the option to test myself 4 times every day it gives me a lot of information that I didn't knew before. Sending hugs to all.
@Dayana yes this is such a great perspective! I agree it’s nice to know what spikes my blood sugar, what to avoid… and what I can still enjoy
Please dont let this dishearten you, I felt the exact same way when I had gestational diabetes. It can be controlled through diet and even if you have to take metformin or insulin you and baby will be okay. I was on both and was able to control my levels, baby grew on average and was able to have a natural delivery! One thing that helped me a lot was walking! I walked everyday and it made a massive difference. You got this! If you need any advice or support pop me a message, GD is temporary and can be controlled 💕💕
