[QUOTE="busydiabeticmum, post: 2117837, member: 160151"] I was low carb when I conceived but added carbs because of sickness (low carb foods made me sick!) Baby wasn't growing well and I was putting on weight... almost 20kg and baby wasn't moving much... once sickness settled, I weaned myself off the high carb sugars and started eating healthier (I was eating pizza and rubbish just to satisfy the sickness) I started eating greens again... baby started growing massively and is now bigger back to the right size for her gestation, she has also increased movement... a lot, my weight gain has stopped but not loosing. I have only just been put onto insulin for the fasting (I messed that up with the carbs) and did have novorapid for breakfast but that doesn't seem needed anymore. I agree fully that her health comes 1st which is why I'm asking this question and researching... but there doesn't seem like there is a firm yes or no answer as to what is correct... it seems individual... I noticed my bgl rising and knew that was bad, the diet in previous pregnancies on healthy living plate didn't help at all... the hospital I'm with is really bad but don't have a choice. I think the main thing isn't the diet it's the worry of the effects of the stress on the baby. [/QUOTE]
