Diabetic and pregnant

jenmomrn80

Hi everyone! I just joined this site today to help me keep track of my diabetic diet. I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with my third daughter. I am in no way trying to lose weight while pregnant.....that goal will come come after the baby! My high risk OB said that it would be ok for me to maintain my weight or gain up to 20 pounds. My goal is really just to maintain my weight and have a healthy baby! I was able to only gain 4 pounds with last pregnancy, so I know it is possible (and she was a healthy 7 lbs 1 oz at 39 weeks). Losing the weight after the baby is also what I need to do to get my diabetes under control, so I am very glad to have found this site for now and future reference and support!
