Hi everyone! Just got back on MFP because I *might* have gestational diabetes. I am 28.5 weeks and just had my 1 hour glucose test, which came back abnormal. Tomorrow I go back for the 3 hour test so I should have the results tomorrow afternoon.
This is my second pregnancy. My first one I did not have GD, but I was also 19. This pregnancy (my second) I am 38.
So far I have gained about 25 lbs and have been feeling great, although a little tired in the evenings. I was a big runner in my previous life and have turned into a walker during the pregnancy.
The nurse says it is ok to start following the GD diet and to keep my carbs less than 50% of my total calories until the results get back. Then depending on what the results are the doctor will give something more specific.
I am a little nervous about the test tomorrow, because 1) I HATE needles and 2) GD while treatable is a big deal!
