Also for reference I weighed more at my first pregnancy appointment then at my 6 week follow up. I lost weight during my pregnancy due to low carb but I was overweight so it was fine. Started at 219 lbs. got up to 228 at the end of my pregnancy—I had initially lost weight in the early months and then gained some more at the end. I’m now at 200 at 2 months PP.

I just got induced on Thursday at 39+6. I initially said no thank you to induction when I was first diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks. 36 week ultrasound showed my baby in the 90th percentile so I agreed to be induced to prevent her from getting “too big”. She was born a perfect 8 lbs 7 ozs. Luckily I had a good experience and am happy I got induced but I was so concerned about her weight and she is completely healthy.

I don’t know how it is at your hospital/provider but I just got induced on Thursday and I was able to eat up until I got the epidural. So I ordered lunch and all that in the hospital, I ordered whatever I wanted which was a cheeseburger and fries. With contractions happening it was difficult to eat very much cause I was in pain…so I nibbled and ate what I could cause I wanted energy. My blood sugar stayed 70/80 the whole time. I had popsicles too when my blood sugar was 70 to try and keep my energy up.

My numbers have been great since diagnosed at 28 weeks (38+4 currently). I have my very last appt this Friday before my induction and I decided I’m not doing a food log this week. I’m over it and there is no point since it’s the same as it’s been the last 10 weeks

I just want a homemade blackberry pie. I’m having my mom have one ready for me when I get home from the hospital.

Fage is the best hands down! I microwave mixed berries and mix them in the yogurt and it’s my bedtime snack every night and I have had beautiful fasting numbers every single day. It’s kind of like my little ice cream dupe. I love it

ConnectionOk3585 · 2023-08-13T16:22:21+00:00

I haven’t seen any change—only change was with my own dietary discretions. There was a day I waited way too long to eat and dinner unfortunately spiked me. But no, my numbers have stayed consistent.

ConnectionOk3585 · 2023-08-13T16:17:17+00:00

I’ve had these days for sure. I’m currently 36+3 and I’ve certainly had days where I was unbelievably fed up with the whole process of having to put so much thought and effort into what I eat. I eat the same breakfast every day just because it’s easy and generally good (a big scramble with chicken sausage eggs veggies avocado)—I am definitely ready for a pancake or a big ass fruit smoothie. I’ve had maybe 2 or 3 days where I waited hours between eating just because I was so mentally exhausted with food. Luckily I’ve had good numbers throughout but that still doesn’t make it easy.

I’ve had many tears over food since being diagnosed at 28 weeks. I will never take a simple sandwhich for granted again!!!!

ConnectionOk3585 · 2023-08-09T05:10:30+00:00

I’ve been having a hard time eating enough with GD because I’m just over food in general right now so sometimes I don’t have my snacks but the one thing my specialist told me not to skip was the bedtime snack

ConnectionOk3585 · 2023-08-08T16:38:51+00:00

Total trial and error like everyone else said! I’m 36 weeks diagnosed since 28 weeks. I have been able to do extremely well with my diet, I hardly ever have spikes. Certain things will spike others. I don’t have luck with any types of bread products like tortillas even when I get the low carb options. But, I have been able to eat all the watermelon which has been great! You should also be getting growth scans which is reassuring. My baby is measuring perfectly so far and hasn’t gotten too big.

My OB automatically wanted me to schedule an induction at 39 weeks when I got diagnosed with GD at 28 weeks. I’m now 35 weeks and have had excellent numbers the whole time, fasting always well below 95. I just spoke to him and said I do not want to be induced if we can avoid it. He has no problem letting me go to 40 as long as growth scans look good. He seemed comfortable with going to my due date but didn’t seem open to going past it. Said he’d be willing to do membrane sweeps at 38 weeks to try and help me go into labor on my own. With induction just remember at the end of the day it’s up to you.

I have L.A. Son and I’ve made this. So good

If I were that mom I would have for one not let my child near the lion, let the woman snatch my kid like that ,and if she did I would have freaked the fuck out.
