pengalaman gdm

Aiyoh, I feel you lah, my second pregnancy got GDM juga, so stressful! Basically it means your body's having trouble managing blood sugar during pregnancy, tapi it's manageable and very common, especially if you've had it before or your family ada history. Your doctor will probably ask you to do a strict diet (really kena watch the carbs and sugar), monitor your blood glucose levels at home with a meter, and might need insulin injections depending on your readings, a few of us needed it, some managed with diet alone. The main thing is to keep those sugar levels steady so baby grows properly without complications during delivery; once baby comes out, GDM usually goes away. Don't panic lah, just follow your doctor's plan closely, eat smaller frequent meals, and exercise walk-walk if you can, honestly the monitoring feels annoying at first but you get used to it quick.
