GDM mummies

Understand how you feel. I felt so down when I found out I had GD too and also my 1st pregnancy. It’s like I couldn’t believe my own placenta is working against my body. Just manage your diet, stay away from high carbs. I go for low GI rice and bread (since im both a rice and a bread person, totally cutting it out is impossible for me).. It was in control throughout my pregnancy though I had to prick before and after meal once a week for readings. After delivery, baby will be checked on his/her sugar levels. But no worries, as long as your readings are not exponentially high. You’ll be ok! Jiayou mummy...

I had GDM too and it depends on individuals actually. I known some who took sweet stuff often during pregnancy but didn’t have GDM. Yes it can be quite distressing to maintain a plain diet and have sugarless drinks during the final trimester but stay calm and relaxed during this period. It will go away after childbirth a few months later. Breastfeeding helps to regulate ur blood glucose back to normal level sooner.

Hi please don’t worry. Just focus on your diet and avoid sugary stuff. Please go for regular checkups to monitor ur glucose levels. Hope you have been maintaining an active lifestyle as well, it is good to take walks regularly. The gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy, so Hang in there and take care.

Not to worry about GDM! It's the works of the pregnancy hormones blocking ths insulin from working. Just keep watch of your diet and cut down on carbohydrates will do. Having to take insulin is not a bad thing either, it will not cause any harm to the baby. 😊

Ive got gdm too and im super demoralized! Today is my 2nd day of self pricking. Readings were fine, maybe with just 1 or 2 readings getting slightly over by 0.1 or 0.2. Super stress thou. But will jiayou!

Hi... don’t worry too much. Many pregnant women develop GDM at some stages of their pregnancy. Just watch your diet. Cut down on carbs and sugar. You’ll be fine. Take care

i got gdm and also my 1st pregnancy... im also stressed each time when i see my pricking result went up high.... but i try to keep positive... lets jiayou together...

I feel u, i had gdm too, and found it hard to gain weight, and to eat properly while avoiding e sugar spike. All the best! Im cleared after i delivered.

I got GDM during pregnancy. As long as cut down sugar drinks, rice intake. Should be fine

Hang in there Every pregnancy is different Remain positive and focus on your health and baby.
