- My Tips for Gestational Diabetes at 39 weeks pregnant and after 10 weeks of getting my diet under control. I never made another What I Ate video for gestational diabetes since I went into labor June 5th.
Everyone will be different but here are some tips and tricks I've learned so far. Also, it is very similar to what they recommend for the pregnancy diet for everyone. Thanks for watching and I'm not a doctor or nutritionist so be sure to consult with your doctors!

About Me
My name is Laura Laws and I started this channel because I wanted to get the word out about the ERA test (I thought it would be weird to put it on my Real estate channel). The ERA test is a biopsy they do in the IVF process to see when you are receptive to implantation. It is new and I wouldn’t be pregnant without it! My husband Phil and I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. We have 3 ragdoll cats and we are due June 10, 2018 with our first baby girl! I have shared my 2 rounds of IVF as well as weekly pregnancy updates & other baby related videos. I am a real estate agent and you can check out that channel if you’d like to see more info on real estate, smart home technology and other random stuff here: / kansascitykitties
This series of videos was SO helpful! Love the meal ideas in your videos and tips!👍🏻
That’s so nice to hear. I’m glad it helped. Good luck with everything! 😘
I found your video so helpful. I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes again (I had it in my last pregnancy) and I am excited to try the Boost glucose control. Thank you for that tip! And best wishes to you for the rest of your pregnancy! ~ Jennifer Scott
Thank you for the kind comment Jennifer. I'm 5 weeks postpartum and I am still having it every morning with my coffee. Good luck with controlling your GD.
Hi Laura, I realized after looking at the date of your video that you probably had the baby. Congratulations! I bought the Boost drink and really like it. Very grateful for the recommendation. Best, Jennifer
Nice videos.did u use insulin in pragnancy
No, I never had to go on insulin but I was very close to having to.
@@magicalmomlaura thanks,inyat was my husband.nd I m diabetic nd my 2 kids was die .now I have no kid .I use insulin in pragnancy.
How heartbreaking. I’m so sorry. Be kind to yourself! It’s your hormones from your placenta that are causing it. I’m sure the dr is doing what’s best for the baby! 😘😘😘
@@magicalmomlaura thanks for ur sampthy ,ur r very nice person.👌
Girl....don’t even sweat it!! You’ve done amazing so far and your numbers are not even that high!! I swear...between feedings and cooking and cleaning and NOT sleeping how can anyone have the perfect diet!! I’m so in your corner rooting for you!! You’re exactly right w just a little bit of pre planning and getting back on track! Congrats on your beautiful baby girl! I’m 38 weeks today! Love you & and your family! I think ur doing an amazing job! Thank u for the videos!!
Thank you!!!
My problem is even after 45 min or 1h I start feeling hungry and so weak as if I have low of energy. Is this one of the symptoms of GD?
I'm not really sure. Be sure to talk to your dr and nutritionist. I found the best thing to do is experiment with different combinations of healthy fat and protein and check your numbers to see what keeps you full and your numbers down. Good luck! It's a lot of work!
Probably a sign of being low in iron.
I love walking and can walk for miles but the constant need to pee means I can never be too far away from a toilet :(
Sidrah Khan pregnancy problems for sure. Maybe do laps around your yard. 🤷🏼♀️
Same
Do walking exercise at home if possible and the rest outside.
When I used to get drunk I needed to pee like crazy and most of the time I just peed behind a bush if I was too far from a toilet. Can always pee behind a bush!
Thank you for sharing, that was very helpful.
I'm so glad it was helpful!
Your so lucky for your blood sugars to be below 140, my midwife is wanting mine to be below 120.
dineblessing oh no. That is so much harder. That sounds like a lot of salads.
What was ur age at time of delivery
can you please tell me when you used to eat your last snack(time) and when you used to take morning fasting reading. Did you ever use insulin
Lopamudra Jena it’s been a long time so I would watch my what I ate videos with GD. I think it was 7am for the morning and I had my last snack at 9 or 10. I never was put on insulin. I was able to control it with diet and exercise. Don’t be too disappointed if you have to. Your placenta and hormones are out of control. They did put me on glyburide but I broke out in hives.
I don't understand why my blood sugar is only high during the morning. Before bed is 95?and when I wake up is 105 or 111 because of that I have to now get insulin.
It’s hard to control the fasting blood sugar. Have you tried to experiment with your last meal? Try to do mostly protein?
Just knowing I have diabetes makes soo sad because and I freak out and my sugar is high ! I get anxiety and stress attack doing the poking . 😓😥😓😰
I'm so sorry. It's so hard especially at first. Just do the best you can and try not to stress. It does get easier once you get into the swing of things! Don't be too hard on yourself if you have to take insulin. It's not your fault. It's the hormones!
Hey Laura - thank you so much for your videos. I'm wondering if you've made available the worksheets you were using to track your diet/blood sugar?
Unfortunately I did not. By the time people were asking for them I had thrown them away. I'm so glad you liked them! Good luck with GD!
I have questions about breast feeding.. i have Gestational diabetes and one of my midwife said start expressing milk b4 baby born so if baby have low blood suger we can give your breast milk to baby rite away.. i wanna know is it necessary b4 birth to Express milk? as I've heard it will cause mother labore pain or constructions early and you can end up in early labore. if anyone know anything about this let me know im worried and its my first baby. thanks.
I have no idea. My baby's blood sugar levels were normal when she was born. Good luck!
@@magicalmomlaura yes dats wht i wanna know i hope my baby's gona be healthy.. i dont wanna express milk b4 birth..
In my 9 week of pregnancy I took a blood test and I m gestational diabetes patients. I'm in tention. P
I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s a tough road but you can do it.
m just trying to do it every thing right still my sugar is high
It's so hard and your hormones are out of control. Don't be too hard on yourself! Do your best and there are drugs to help.
Hi I just got diagnosed with GD
How mush carb should I suppose to eat daily?
I think I covered it in my other GD videos. Mine was higher because I'm a vegetarian. Check with your doctor. Good luck!
Can you see if your doctor can recommend a dietitian/nutritionist? I was diagnosed last week to and they have me a number to their dietician to make an appointment. Depending on where you live, if you're in the USA and have a ShopRite grocery store near you they offer free dietician appointments through them.
Hlo dear
Kindly tell me normal range of gestational deibetes
Muhammad Safdar 🤷🏼♀️ sorry I have no idea.
Hi wts yur fasting nmbrs??
They were 50-50 above 95. They were the hardest to control.
@@magicalmomlaura mine is mostly 100 or 97 .. i m soo worried i also took medicine for sugar 750g
@@magicalmomlaura laura is it okay or is it safe if my sugar 98 99 or 100 mostly it comes same .. i took medicine but mostly my sugar 98 99
I don't know. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about it! Every one is different.
My fasting bs is 150
This is my sons account but I have a question!! How many carbs Should I eat in a day,, I feel like I’m not eating enough carbs :(
haha! I would check with your dr and nutritionist. They upped my carbs because I am a vegetarian.
Laura Laws they never gave me a dietician or nutritionist! I feel like they aren’t helping me at all.
I am a vegetarian as well so I didn’t know what your carb intake looked like in a day!
Boy Adventures oh no. That’s awful.
Boy Adventures it’s been almost a year so I would have to try and find it. Did you watch my first what I ate? I think it’s in that video.
Thank you so much so helpful
Glad it helped!
Thank you Laura!
Thank you for the tips helps a lot
I’m so glad!
Thank you❤️🥰
You’re welcome 😊
I was just diagnosed a week ago and I have been binge watching all your diabetes videos! I love all your tips. Except I haven’t had any issues with milk or yogurt yet but I’ll definitely be watching that closely.
Thanks! It’s so funny what affects people’s blood sugar numbers. You just never know until you try it.
Omg I needed to see this. So emotional and feel already like I’m failing my baby. I’ve had PCOS and emotional binge eating for years. Switching that off is very hard and I feel selfish now when my sugars are high and I have a binge. I work a demanding 50 hour a week job that I’ve considered leaving because I don’t have time to even eat or check sugars half the time. Any tips for meals on the go would be super helpful.
Sarah it is hard to switch over to eating small meals. It can add a lot of anxiety but it will get easier once you get going. I’m a vegetarian so meals to go was more difficult. I would recommend meal prep. Greens and protein. So if you aren’t a vegetarian you can do grilled chicken breast and broccoli or something like that.
Meat and eggs are making me sick so that’s why I’m so happy to find your channel. I’m going to try vegetarian for the remainder of my pregnancy.
Oh! I've heard women can have an aversion to meat when they are pregnant.
@@magicalmomlaura at 22 weeks pregnant after high protein and fat low carb I'm going vegetarian! Hope to be diet controlled
@@family-peace-love Good luck to you! It's hard but the baby is a great motivator!
What logbook do you use?
My nutritionist gave it to me. I don’t have any left or I would share it!
Thank you
dramatic
Um...ok 🤣🤷🏼♀️
How ?
This is so informative...I’m 26 weeks pregnant and diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and my doctor is prescribed me metformin for me..My question for you is that did you also took metformin during your GDM?
I just saw this. Sorry I somehow missed it. I did not take metformin. I took glyburide but had a reaction so stopped quickly. I was able to control it through diet and exercise. How is it going so far? Did you check out my other GD videos?
Arifa Yusuf no carbs are necessary our bodies produce glucose if needed and so no meds necessary.Fruits are high sugars, toxic to our bodies, corn, wheat, potatoes, rice , grains =sugar. Totally reversible no question, it’s all science.Eat high nutrient food do not go hungry. Salmon wild caught,Beef, eggs,chicken, avocado cilantro cauliflower cheese shrimp wild caught.
Hi can you plz let me know if you did have those tablets and were they save to have during pregnancy. my doctor gave me those medication as well 500mg and i m not sure should i have them or not my suger come high after evening meal or sometime afternoon meal.
@@saniasyed7910 m also taking this tablet ..is it save
@@rashidnaseer2501 yes they are.
Thanks so much for all the helpful info! I’m 28 weeks and was diagnosed with GD 2 weeks ago. I’m able to get all my numbers within normal range after meals, but my fasting # has been high and they want to place me on insulin at night if it doesn’t lower. Do you have any suggestions?
M BH the morning # is the hardest to control. Be really good with your last snack. That may help.
Laura Laws I’m always within my recommended carb amount for night snack but how late would you eat and what would you eat?
Half of a whole grain english muffin with peanut butter worked. Sometimes I'd have a couple of strawberries. You have to experiment and see what works for you because everyone's bodies respond differently. I can't remember the time. You can check out my What I Ate videos in my GD playlist.
Thank u so much for this video! really suits me. Were the same, my sugar always high aftr breakfast.. i dont knw wht to eat already. weow! thank u again!
I'm so happy it helped! Good luck with your GD!
