I met with the High Risk doctor to go over the gestational diabetes (GD) diagnosis last week and to be honest I left not really any more knowledgeable than when I got there. I did get to see the little booger again! It is amazing to see how much he/she has grown since the last time we saw him/her. The baby is weighs about 3 pounds 9 ounces. Dr. High Risk then went over very briefly on how to manage the diabetes, gave me a one day sample menu, and then the fun part; showed me how to prick my fingers 4 times a day!For the last week I have cut out the sugar, white flour and watched my portion sizes and my numbers have all been below the cutoff. It's a little bit of a trial and error game to see what works for me. I have to go in to see him tomorrow real quick to go over my weeks worth of numbers and I am hoping he will let me poke my fingers fewer times a day because I am managing it well(not to mention my fingers could use a break!)
Sweet little baby face!I'm feeling a bit better about the whole thing and just hope we don't have anything else pop up along the way. Only 10 more weeks!!
