[QUOTE="David147, post: 843011, member: 164935"] I had gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy and never had it again... It goes away as soon as the baby is delivered, and almost always the baby has no problem with diabetes what so ever... I had to follow a pretty strict diet to avoid the insulin shots... It was hard at first with the cravings and all, but I got used to it... You will have to avoid sugar, even limit fruits as they contain natural sugars... but there are some good things you can get that are sugar free and splenda is safe during pregnancy.. also you will have to keep sodium to a minimum... kind of hard of first, but that too you can adjust to... I also had to follow a certain calorie count a day... But you know all of that wasn't as hard as it would have been to give myself a shot every day... The main problem with gestational diabetes is that the baby can get too big.. and that is why it's good to follow the diet and monitor the baby during pregnancy.... The worst thing I experienced was the occasional light sick shaky feeling from my sugar being low.. but a few sips of a soda makes that go away almost instantly.. Don't worry.. you and the baby will be fine... Congratulations on your pregnancy and best wishes ♥ [/QUOTE]
