My daughter in law has just been diagnosed with GD. She took the 3 hour test. I don't know the levels but she has now been told she has it. The doctor is setting up an education class for her. However, not sure what good it will do. All the research I have done on what they go over in the class is stuff she does. She has a very unique situation.
She is 28 weeks. Has been given bedrest since week 25. (only bathroom and getting up to eat) ) She had contractions at week 25 ... 2-3 min apart. was hospitalized for 3 days and now taking meds for contractions. She still gets them on occasion. She has gained only 8 lbs ...eats extremely healthy. Low carbs.. little sugar..good protein etc.... She is a nurse and knows and practices good nutrition.
Other issues:
Also has "irritable uterus"
Shortened cervix...currently at 1.6cm
now GD... she can't exercise.... she already eats 6 small meals a day.

She was lean to begin with before pregnancy. 5'7 110lbs.
Not even sure how she will be able to attend a class. Sitting to long causes her to contract.
Baby has great heart rate.. He is estimated to be 2lbs at this point.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
