[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2008391, member: 501623"] Thanks for telling me your story! I was just reading on somewhere that some believe they test pregnant women way to late for GD waiting till 24 - 28 weeks and your first pregnancy experience would justify changing the regulations for everyone to be safer.. Good to hear from someone personally that very low carb in pregnancy at least didn't hurt the baby. Did you have ketones showing up in your urine during that time I wonder. If you were backed by whoever was looking after you, it's probably okay. The diabetes counsellor at the hospital where I'm going is very much sticking to the guidelines of "your baby needs you to eat a certain amount of low GI carbs with every meal" and in the booklet with meal recommendations, they have pictures of breakfast cereals that I know if I ate more of in my first 2 weeks, I would have been put straight on meds already. Not discounting the fact that it might still head that way but if there is a way to do it with diet without endangering the baby, it makes sense to try that first. I'm 31 weeks today. I had a dream the other night that I gave birth prematurely but that the baby came out fully developed with no complications, and no c-section! I was so elated, but then I woke up.. I imagine the reality would be quite different if baby decided to come now like your daughter did. [/QUOTE]
