I have Gestational Diabetes » Pregnancy, Childbirth And Motherhood.

:O i told you I would fill you in on the results and i found out just over an hour ago. I am devastated. Firstly I have PCOS and I really thought that my pregnancy would allow me nine months in my life to be a normal person with a normal pregnancy but it wasnt meant to be.
I have cried and now my eyes are all itchy, I just feel so lost.
I feel like I am somehow failing my baby and that I am not giving it the best opportunity in life and it hasnt even been born yet. My body cant sustain it now properly without medication how can i possibly be a fantastic mother?

I dont really know much about how it is going to affect me as yet, but I will keep you updated on how I cope and how I dont cope on certain days, I am contacting my obstetrician tomorrow morning and I will be back with more information then.

The test if your interested, involved me eating a high carb diet for three days straight, then fasting for 12 hours. I had one blood test to see how my blood sugar was at 8am, then had to drink a gluclose drink which tasted like green cordial without water, about a soda can full. Then another test an hour after the drink. You then have to sit down for another hour (making it a total of two hours seated) and have another blood test. It wasnt that bad, but the results were.

Hopefully insulin and a low gi diet will help to maintain it and there arent any severe complications

Keep your fingers crossed for me
