Hi
I'm 28+1 and today I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.. It's come as quite a shock and now my head is all over the place!
I have an appt on Wednesday at the hospital to get a monitoring kit and all the diet info etc and the doctor said until then to cut all sugars & fats out of my diet. I have excess fluid around the baby and she has booked me in for a growth scan and also an internal scan to measure cervix length. She also said that I will get an appt to see the diabetic nurse.. She said I might need steroid shots and will have to be admitted for these as they send sugars sky high.. My mind is spinning!
Any food suggestions until Wednesday when I see the diabetic team? I'm at a loss and don't want to eat anything that is going to harm the baby. This is my 3rd pregnant and I never had it with my other two. I'm already getting reduced movement and contractions so trying to get everything back on track.
Thanks in advance x
