I just found out today I have gestational diabetes I’m 37 weeks. I am so mad I can’t even understand stand it. I workout every day I eat healthy 90 % of the time I don’t know why I got it. I know it doesn’t help to get mad, so I have nothing left to do but to follow a nutritionist diet and learned everything I can to take care of my little one. I hope everyone (mommies) the best of luck and take care of yourself.
If it makes you feel any better it’s not your fault! And your already healthy lifestyle should make it easier to control. I felt the same way at my diagnosis but did some research and joined a Facebook support group and it really puts everything into perspective.
@@rebeccamitchell4435 thank you for your positive feedback 🙏🏼✨ I also just joined support groups on Facebook today. I want to see what other women are eating and how they are dealing with GD. Thank you Rebecca.
Hi Lux, Was your baby perfectly healthy? And was baby too big to be natural? Doctors keep scaring me. I hope you had a smooth delivery ☺️ take care I bet you’re having so much fun with mommy life
You got a really good nutritionist or doctor, who ever was in the call! Mine never explained anything in detailed like this! Good luck momma! You got this 💕
I was just diagnosed with GD at 19 weeks…these meal videos people post are soooo helpful! So far this past week I’ve been able to navigate the meals at home very well but have concerns about showers, weddings and a weeks vacation coming up.
Hi , I found out today I failed my 3 hour glucose test & have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I'm so glad I came across your video. Thank you for all the helpful information.
I failed mine too. My fasting was normal, but the other 3 were high. I had to completely change how I eat because they are trying to put me on medication for it and I don't want to be on medication. It was a little difficult for me at first because certain things I would eat it would be within serving size and within my carb limit but it raised my glucose really high. So it's been a few weeks since I was diagnosed and I have a better handle of what I can and can't eat. Definitely a huge change, but I'm doing my best. The only thing I'm really struggling with is getting 3 meals in and a snack everyday
I am currently 13 weeks pregnant . I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes as well. It is frustrating. You just have to keep in mind you are not at fault. I take my blood sugar 4 times a day. It’s not fun pricking my finger but that is what I have to do. We will get through this. God Bless You and your family❤❤❤
Berries are the best fruit, that’s what my dietician told me. She also said an apple with peanut butter is a good snack. I was just diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and the hardest part is the schedule of eating for me. Making sure I get enough carbs is hard too.
This was very informative. I’m so glad you recorded the consult with the nutritionist. That’s was a huge help for me. I’m still waiting on my consult. It’s been almost 48 hours of waiting. Thanks for sharing your experience!❤️
Monkfruit sweetener I use in my coffee and bake with it too. It’s a zero sugar sweetener that doesn’t raise your glycemic index, way better than stevia and trivia too!
Thanks for this video. Hearing what the dietitian had to say was super helpful. I had no idea that a snack before bedtime is actually recommended, and thought I was doing myself a favor by not snacking. My glucose test will be in a couple weeks and I’m nervous.😬
Some of the healthiest fruits for diabetes in general is :blackberries,strawberries, tomatoes, and a medium orange. :) I pulled that from web Md. Not a doctor, just a curious researcher.
Thank you so much for making this video I’m 28 weeks just got diagnosed because my fasted Blood Sugar has been high every day I had to monitor it. It was so helpful to hear your call with dietitian thank you ❤
This video was SO FREAKING HELPFUL. I have felt so incredibly overwhelmed I feel like my doctor just kinda threw me in the deep end and said good luck. Thank you so much for this. 💙
I’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes I am now 30 weeks pregnant and I am able to control my glucose levels. My daily meals consist of vegetables and salads with protein(red meat, chicken, or eggs, tuna, beans, Greek yogurt, nut butter or peanut butter) & fruits (berries, little bit of banana, pears, apples, etc) & nuts. Dave’s 100% whole wheat bread doesn’t spike my glucose levels. Some days when I eat tiny amount of carbs my levels rise. Bad Carbs for me are rice, white bread, pasta, tortillas, etc. I am able to eat a small amount of dessert like 1-2 small cookies or snack size pastry a 6-8oz coffee(decaf or regular). I hope this helps anyone out there who needs information.
You need to look at the carb not sugar and you should not eat rice at all. Half of the women of my family had gestational diabetes. However they were all able to control it with ease.
Brown rice is completely fine. It also depends on person to person. I have gestational diabetes currently and checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. I have half a bag of microwavable brown rice and quinoa every day. My sugar looks fine after meals every time.
Aahhh I MIS H-E-B!! Move to VA 2020 and seeing H-E-B melts my heartstrings 💕 Thank you for sharing. This is my 2nd time having GD so I really enjoy seeing ideas and tips from other GD mom’s
This video made me cry. So many things that my doctor didn’t tell me that yours did. I didn’t know about still birth or being induced early and I’m currently frustrated with my numbers and controlling them. I only have a few days left of trying before they put me on insulin. 😭
You're taking this like a champ. I'm type 1 and have a 3 month old. It isn't easy. You got this and the dietician will really help. Good choice with the berries as they have a low glycemic index so they don't throw your blood sugar as high. You can totally do this!
In my 4th pregnancy I had to have the 3 hr glucose testing. It was fasting, then that sugar drink, then 3 hours and 4 blood draws. I felt terrible. I was so sick. Almost for 3 days I couldn't recover.
I didn’t have GD, but baby Doc came out 9lb5oz and so they said he had to get heel pricked three times a day until he passed whatever it was he needed to pass. And he did really well! He didn’t even notice they pricked him!
Love 💘, so much and hope everything is going well for you during your pregnancy and hope your unborn baby is healthy and growing and my thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe and healthy pregnancy and God bless you all and stay safe and healthy. Love 💘, 💘
Definitely helpful, an 28 weeks and just found out I have GD.... Am freaking out...dnt know what to eat... My specialist appointment not until 10/25 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you so much for this. I had to take my glucose test early at 6 weeks because diabetes runs in my family. So I've been stressing since I've found out I have GD. It's so frustrating because I have no idea what are my limits on carbs and I just... im sad and frustrated. Currently 7 weeks and 3days and just waiting on the dietician to contact me. But thank you for this
Same even though my fasting values and 2 hour value after 75gm gluco load are normal, my one hour values are high and my dr said I am diabetic now, its my 8month and m just scared😏
Thank you for sharing I been so sad. And I haven’t share this with my family, but I also was diagnose GD, and plus I’m genetic my dad is diabetic. I been looking for videos to help me out and I found your channel thank you for sharing once again ❤️
Omg same here I was diagnosed just last wednesday and was so sad my dad is also diabetic! But i’ve been educating my self and seeing the best way to handle this! Best of luck to you
The dietitian call was so helpful. I haven’t been diagnosed but I did fail my first glucose test and having my 3hr this Friday. Do you have the number that you failed your first by? I was fasting because I don’t eat breakfast till later in the AM and failed at 162.
Thank you so much for this video! Ive been told my a doctor that i had glucose in my wee however they wont do a blood test until my next midwife appointment which is a month away! So im trying to look after myself and baby until then.
So whats happend with me is because of my nausea was so bad i had meat aversions. All i could eat eas carbs. So alot of my foods were carbs, i tried not to eat too much sugar but sometimes i didnt have a choice because all i wanted was fruit to soothe the nausea. Anyways im 9 weeks and i woke up SO thirsty. I kept drinking water and it wasnt hydrating at all. I pee alot too. Im gonna have to get tested for it becauee im sooooo thirsty
I was the oposite...baby measured big at 2nd and 3rd trimester ultrasound. They made me take the glucose test twice, both times negative. This week I went to the hospital to meet the delivery team (vs just seeing my midwife for monthly check up). And they got really worked up over the baby's weight. (Quick ultrasound showed a baby thats heavier 6wks from birth than I was at birth myself). Now I have to monitor at home 6 times a day. Started yesterday and it doesnt look good. I would have preferred a positive test the first time (at 23wks) and been able to monitor and control my blood sugar the whole time vs finding out now, which is practically too late, cause the baby is already huge!
Hi I got diagnosed the same problem I got diabetes soon as I got pregnant if you could give me some more tips I would appreciate it and what can I eat for breakfast as well I’m just a little scared I never went through this before🙏💕🥰
I keep thinking baby’s name is going to be like Mark/Marc or Matt Jr.. just to start with the same letter as you guys.. the whole family will start with M 🤗
Just curious. What's everyone glucose levels are 2 hrs after eating? I havd been on a little diet but then my doc prescribed glyburide. I am not sure if I should take or no.

Hi Lux,

It is frustrating because you did everything right but is just during pregnancy. Lets stay positive until the end!
Same same same! It's so frustrating !

Hi , I found out today I failed my 3 hour glucose test & have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I'm so glad I came across your video. Thank you for all the helpful information.
I’m doing my three hour test next week 😖
Did u have any restrictions on your diet before the 3 hrs test.?
I failed mine too. My fasting was normal, but the other 3 were high. I had to completely change how I eat because they are trying to put me on medication for it and I don't want to be on medication.

Cant believe you are so far along already. Loving the bump and all the best with the gestational diabetes.
It's so surreal!! Thank you so much love!!

I read brown rice was fine. The thing is to eat complex carbs not to avoid them altogether
Brown rice is completely fine. It also depends on person to person. I have gestational diabetes currently and checking my blood sugar 4 times a day. I have half a bag of microwavable brown rice and quinoa every day. My sugar looks fine after meals every time.
You can have brown rice, just a portioned control size

This was a great video. I am GDM and I got the same education but it was good to hear it again.
In my 4th pregnancy I had to have the 3 hr glucose testing. It was fasting, then that sugar drink, then 3 hours and 4 blood draws. I felt terrible. I was so sick. Almost for 3 days I couldn't recover.
OMG! That sounds horrible!
Had to go through the same thing just to find out the news I was terrified and really didn’t want to hear.
I didn’t have GD, but baby Doc came out 9lb5oz and so they said he had to get heel pricked three times a day until he passed whatever it was he needed to pass. And he did really well! He didn’t even notice they pricked him!
Hey just wanted to say it’s better to have brown rice instead of white rice

Really good guesses!!!
I ate what I wanted but had to check my blood sugar three to five times a day if it got high I would have to call the dr
This was very informative. Thank you!
Just curious. What's everyone glucose levels are 2 hrs after eating? I havd been on a little diet but then my doc prescribed glyburide. I am not sure if I should take or no.
I wouldn’t take it. There’s no research that says it’s safe to take while pregnant and it does permeate the placenta.
Other than the slight risk of fatty liver, as a diabetic, you can eat as much fat as you want.
Maybe quinoa its gluten free and had protein amd fibre
Love a pregnant belly ❤️ so happy for you 🙏
Thank you!!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for this. Currently 21 weeks going thru the same thing!
it's a total shock. SUCKS!!! but we got this!
Thank you so much 🥺🥺🥺
At what week did were you diagnosed with diabetes?
I've just been diagnosed
Thank u so much bez am in that same boat.
While pregnant it’s just best not to have coffee or teas even.
I ate tamales and my blood sugar shot up so high. Be careful out there ladies.
Oh my gosh, hearing you on the call, you sound like Reese Witherspoon!!
Pickles Can lead to uti.
I had gestional diabetes with my second daughter she’s 12 years old now I still have problems today
Pregnancy does some crazy things to our bodies!

No. No to the hot sauce. Not a good idea. I know this was a long time ago but still.
