Just diagnosed with gestational diabetes, I'll hear from a nurse on monday. The Dr. explained over the phone that it's because I have such a large placenta & can cause insulin resistance... not because I was doing anything wrong. ...I've been eating healthy....but there are even more eatding changes I'll have to make. Plus monitering. Im feeling overwhelmed...im already grieving the unexpected loss of my dad, im financialy stressed (but who isn't right!) Plus other anxieties this being my first. .... this has me feeling panicky, scared, ect...anyone have any advice, successful stories ect, it would go a long way to ease this .momma to be!
