I'm so sorry to hear you've got GD.
I remember when I found out I just cried and cried and cried. I was very suprised to have gotten it with #2, but not #1.
How did ur pregnancy go with GD?
I had it with #2. Pretty good actually. I didn't really end up on putting much weight on. During the start and middle of my pregnancy I actually lost my own weight.
Gotta be happy with that.
I was lucky I could control mine by diet.
Did u have bub early?
At around 39wks, but my first was born around the same time and that was without GD.
Was bub big?
Nope, not massive. 8lb9oz.
Did u have a virginal or C-section?
I had him vaginally. There was no talk whatsoever about a c-section. I'm not sure if that's cause I had an amazing OB or what.
Did they have to monitor u while in labour? if so what did that involve?
No, nothing more then just the usual - baby's heartrate, etc etc.
Was everything ok with Bub when born? Was everything okay with you during labour and after?
I had a traumatic birth and there were other complications that weren't GD related.
He got his BSL's tested a few times in the first day and they were all fine. I got mine tested once a few hours after his birth and they didn't test them again. I could have tested them with my own machine thingie if I wanted.
GD is hardwork. I found the GD chatter thread here was great cause everyone else understands the ups and downs and know just know you're feelings. Where as for me in real life no one could understand what it was like to watch everything you eat and why I got so upset when something I ate one day was fine but the next day when I had the same thing it wasn't fine.
Give yourself time for all this to sink in properly. I found once I was more informed and saw the diabetes educator I felt a tiny bit better about it all.
We're all here for you.
