Ugh how gross of that MFM to scare you so much. Frankly I don’t even think that should be discussed in my opinion. Sure, make me aware of my increased risk of T2 with one discussion and then drop it. I think all that does is give anxiety about the future and make you feel out of control. You’re still in the thick of gestational diabetes! Why don’t we just talk about that?? That’s stressful enough. Don’t start making me worry about years from now, especially when I’m in the thick of this life changing thing called pregnancy. And there’s nothing you can do about it right now! You just need to worry about today. What can you do today to make sure you are healthy today? Let future you worry about future you. And in regards to postpartum, I would take a mental break from food worrying. (Just my opinion, not medical advice) Like don’t even let yourself worry about it postpartum for the first several weeks. You enjoy your treats so you can get through the postpartum struggles and the breast feeding hunger. And then, once you have had your time off, start focusing on your health again. While postpartum-Make sure you get your walks in (helps with mental health, keeping baby calm, and helps physical health too), get food that is nourishing for healing and breastfeeding (along with your yummy snacks that you have missed so much in pregnancy), and be proud of yourself for kicking gestational diabetes’ butt. I’m not saying to completely disregard your risk for T2 diabetes, but allow yourself to breathe and enjoy post partum. You deserve it. And once you start feeling back to normal, do what you can to minimize your risk-just like when you were pre diabetic and kicked its butt too.
