gestational diabetes

I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I get minor swelling. But my mom is starting to try and tell me I need to not do as much. Then I don't go too many places except with my mom and mostly husband.

Thank you I am having test done in about three weeks. But I have only gained 9 pounds total so far.

They are currently testing me for gestational diabetes as well. I am also 23weeks with my 2nd child. My doctor us testing me because I have had excessive weight gain (i've already gained 30lbs) and that was the main sign. He also gave me a glucose test and wants me to have another ultrasound in 3weeks to make sure the baby isn't getting too big (which is a side affect from having gestational diabetes) I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you've had prior history or are gaining tons of weight like me :(
