I'm 31 years old and 27 weeks pregnant with my first child. My son Jaxon Stone is due Nov. 8. My OB informed me this past week at my monthly check-up that I need to go on a low-carb diet and cut sugary drinks out. I'm in the obese category and I've already gained the max weight I should for the entire pregnancy. The goal was 20lbs, but I've gained 22lbs and I've just started the third trimester. My OB said he'd be happy if I only gain no more than half a pound each week for the rest of my pregnancy.

Today, I just got a call from the OB's office that my glucose test came back abnormally high and to come back tomorrow to do a two-hour glucose test. They're concerned I may have gestational diabetes. Tomorrow's test will give us an indefinite answer.

So I'm looking for other pregnant gals like myself on MFP to add as friends..rather you're just maintaining a healthy diet, diabetic, doing a low-carb thing, etc. Also women who aren't presently pregnant but are on a low-carb diet and/or diabetic ladies, too. And if there's other ladies reading this who need support like I do for whatever reason you're on MFP. Please send me friend requests so we can support each other.
