Hi ladies,
I just found out I'm pregnant with #2 on Saturday. OK I still need to go to the Dr to confirm, but I have had 2 very clear positive tests so...
BUT almost immediately, I'm ALREADY worrying if I'll have GD again this time around.
So my mom has diabetes and I'm over 35 so that already put me in the high risk category. The 1st time I was pregnant, I had to be in partial bed rest because I was bleeding (SCH). Also I had severe nausea the only thing that made me feel better was sour/ sweet candies, I think that made things worse- eating sweets and no exercise. I ended up having borderline numbers for my GD test and I was diagnosed with GD.
Then the nightmare started... seeing 2 nutritionists several times and one of them was not so nice. Then starting 34 weeks, I had to go to the clinic every other day to have the baby heart beat scan (forgot what it's called exactly). One time the midwife made me go to the hospital immediately cuz she couldn't get a good heartbeat at the clinic. She was saying my baby may have a problem. I was pissed and super nervous because I somehow thought their old machines may have a problem. But anyways, when I went to the hospital, BOTH the nurse and my ob/gyn (she happened to be there that day) told me my baby is perfectly fine and there's nothing to worry about!!!
Now this whole GD thing has made me feel SUPER NERVOUS and stressful. Last time I gave birth to my healthy baby and he's 6 lb 12 oz, not overweight at all.
I REALLY hope that I'll have a smooth pregnancy without all these problems this time, ESP. NO GD!!!
Anyone knows how to PREVENT being diagnosed again??? HELP!!!
Thanks for reading!
