I hate complaining to you guys, but I need to vent. I just found out that I have gestational diabetes. I am 30 weeks, 1 day pregnant with my first, and am so frustrated. I have had pancreatitis for like 5 years and I always knew that my insulin production was going to fail eventually, but I didn’t think it would be right now. My doctor isn’t sure yet if this is only temporary because of the pregnancy or if it will be permanent after the baby is born. I have to go and meet with the diabetic obstetrics counselor (as soon as I can get an appointment), and hopefully won’t be on insulin. I’m okay about the finger sticks, and that stuff, and the diet that they want me to be on is basically what I eat anyway, they just want me to eat alot more. This is hard for me because I really don’t like eating, I never really did. (No, I don’t have any kind of eating disorder, I’m chubby, lol, I just forget to eat and it’s a hassle) I don’t eat alot of sweet stuff anyway, so that’s not really a problem. What really upsets me is the possibility that I may be induced. I don’t want to be induced. I want to have him as naturally as possible, go into labor on my own, no drugs, no epidural etc. (Please don’t bash, this is my choice, not what I would cram down anyone else’s throat, I feel miserable enough as it is without anyone getting upset with me for my birth choices…to each her own) I really wanted this to be natural. Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not going to risk the baby’s health by being stubborn. I have to have a long sitdown with our Ob and see what our choices are, I really don’t want it to come down to my stubborness resulting in an emergency c-section because the baby is too big for me to deliver and starts to have distress. I wouldn’t do that, he comes first. I guess I’m just upset and scared and well, everything right now, and needed some virtual hugs. My poor husband is scared for me now too, and I hate to stress him out. He tries so hard to hide his stress, such a sweet man I married. And my birthday is tommorrow, I always get bad news around my birthday, so I have decided that next year I am skipping it altogether. 🙂 I’m sorry if this sounded whiney, I’m just really stressed right now. Thanks for listening
it is stressful, I had problems with my bloodsugar when I was pregnant with Aurora (my youngest)…not to mention my hubby has diabetes, and deals with daily bloodsugar testing and shots. Hopefully it’ll be a temporary thing, mine was. I pretty much went back to the way I was after I had her. In the meantime, take care and just handle it one day at a time, sometimes that’s all any of us can do. *hugs* 🙂
*hugs* You’re not whiny you’re just scared and frustrated. It’s okay to be a little whinyish when bad things happen. I’m sick right now and that’s what my roommate tells me. It’s okay.

Sun Dragon Koi #3A friend of mine ended up getting the same thing when she was pregnant with her son. They both came through it ok, but she spent more time with her Ob getting very frequent check ups. She had him about 8 wks ago and both mom and baby are doing great. You’ll do fine. Remember we’re all here for you and wish you our best. *HUGS* 😀
I’m sure everything will work out in the end. I hope you can still go natural.
If it comes down to being induced, you can still labor without the drugs!
Good luck and my prayers are with you!Hugs!
I hope the diabetes is temporary…
