in Introduce Yourself
My name is Laura, and I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I'm in my early 40's and yep, this little one is a total surprise, but the hubbs and I are elated. Unfortunately, diabetes (both type 1 and 2) runs in my family and I was about 15 lbs overweight when I got pregnant. I was diagnosed early with GD which is mostly controlled with diet and exercise.

Has anyone else joined myfitnesspal in the same boat? I'd love to share recipes/ideas.

    I am also pregnant, but I dont have experience with gd. This is a huge site though and there are lots of great people with info to share if you look in the right spots!

    Check out the recipe board, and you can use the search tool to find discussions about gd or diabetic friendly recipes.

    There are also groups, I am active in the fit, fabulous, and pregnant group and enjoy keeping up with those gals. I know there are diabetoc support groups, there may be a gd specific one too.

    ~best wishes
