sorry to hear you have GD i want to say don't worry, freak out or feel like you're body is failing you - but that's exactly how i felt when i first found out i had it & a pretty normal reaction. BUT, believe me, it is manageable & you are going to cope with this just fine.

How did ur pregnancy go with GD?
pretty good really. it did mean extra hospital visits & i needed to see an ob & an endo (diabetes specialist) - so it was time consuming from that aspect. from a health POV, i pretty much felt great my whole PG & while i did have to go on insulin, it really didn't affect how i felt or what i could (so from that aspect i feel it's not such an evil thing to have while PG, itms?). i managed it through diet till i got to around 30 weeks & then had to go on insulin. i went through being angry again that no matter what i ate, my BSL went up & then realised that it was completely outside of my control. i did get a bit tired of thinking so much before i ate anything but really, it's a very healthy way of eating & probably what i should be doing anyhow
Did u have bub early?
i was induced right on 40 weeks. they offered to induce me at 38 weeks but i declined. i did have to have extra monitoring (twice a week in the last week or two, before that once a week from about 34 or 35 weeks) but it was just CTG monitoring. i would have liked to push it further, but i gave in. if i end up with GD again, i'll be stronger in asking to wait.
Was bub big?
just under 9lbs. so not considered huge.
Did u have a virginal or C-section?
vaginal - but it was an assisted (forceps) delivery
Did they have to monitor u while in labour? if so what did that involve?
i had the tape (not the gels, but the other one whose name escapes me) put in the night before & some monitoring during the evening. the next morning they did an ARM & pretty much put me straight on a drip. i then had ongoing monitoring for the entire labour. i asked for a wireless version so i had one less thing to drag around. i initially had the monitor externally but at some point they put it internally where the clips go on the baby's head. the monitoring was a good thing because it caught DS' heartrate dropping & they could do the assisted delivery.
Was everything ok with Bub when born?
absolutely fine. his BSL were a little low when he was born & they did give him a top up of formula but a m/w on the ward quickly stopped that happening again & helped me with BFing. DS didn't have to go to the SCN but this depends on your hospital. i was under the insulin limit for my hospital so he didn't have to go - but did have his BSL monitored a few times - they like them to have 3 cons readings over a certain amount before they're totally happy.
Was everything okay with you during labour and after?
look, i wasn't happy to be induced. it was exactly what i didn't want. i did find my labour & birth to be far too 'medical' for my liking. i could see the cascade of intervention taking place & i felt powerless to intervene. however, i did make sure i was well informed so i knew what was likely to come next & steered away from pain relief (other than gas) till we got right to the end (they gave me an epi cos they were prepping me for a poss c-section). but really, i think i came out of it just fine. i still had my vaginal birth, i had a healthy DS & i asked to be discharged 36 hours after DS was born. i felt like i healed really well & the best bit is, once the baby is born it's sayonara GD!
