Feeling Defeated
I went to the doctor today and baby was breech and hard to photograph. Talked with the doc afterward and he said it’s due to me having gestational diabetes (for which I was diagnosed just over a month ago). He prescribed me insulin since my numbers aren’t within range, so now I have to take it twice a day. Stabbing my self in the tummy twice a day on top of pricking my fingertips 4 times a day. I cried. I know genetics play a roll in this, but I’m feeling really guilty, like it’s all my fault. I’m over it yall 😭

Position isn't related to anything like that
We’re due in February so it’s still very early days I understand it was probably disheartening baby wasn’t in a good position for a photo but there’s not actually an issue for them to be breach at this stage. I’m sorry to hear about the insulin you have to take but rest assured it will be over once baby is here. Keep going mumma you’re doing a great job xx

It's not your fault at all! But I understand feeling bad about it. This girl on Tik Tok has great videos on gestational diabetes and explaining it: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYrAmNYU/ You do still have time for baby to move into the correct position from breech. Gestational diabetes can increase the risk of baby being breech, but it doesn't mean baby will stay breech. My friend just had a baby in September that was breech up until about a week or so before she gave birth.
