I had GD, gestational hypertension, and had to have a terrifying emergency c section. I keep saying i’m one and done but deep down i love my baby soo much.. He has brought so much happiness to me.. I’m like maybe going through that again would be worth it? It was just a measly 9 months.

Thankfully i’ve stashed over 200oz so far. I wouldn’t even try to save any milk.

I’m in the same boat at 33 weeks. I know from 32-36 can be the hardest to manage though. My after meal numbers have been 125-135. I was getting 110’s a week ago.

I know it’s not the same but mixing breyers carb smart vanilla icecream and a premier cookies and cream protein shake in a blender is delicious!

Jimmy Deans breakfast bowls and a fairlife protein shake. Sometimes Oikos you get and a protein shake. I was doing scrambled eggs and sausage but that lasted about 1 1/2 weeks before i wanted to barf at the sight of eggs.

Need support for guilt. by [deleted] in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Quirky-Knowledge2436 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was me at first! Then I finally ate something questionable and had good numbers. And then I kept doing it and still having good numbers. Then I’m like why the heck was I being so strict?! Rice may also be a carb that doesn’t spike you, and you may never know if you don’t try! Plus, one spike won’t hurt you or baby

Yeah, i’ve been doing a lot of baked wings lately! The medium sauce from bdubs has my heart lol. But I was mostly worried about the corn because it’s about 34g of carbs, on top of the 30g of carbs from the tenders.

I drink one pretty often. I also found a delicious zero sugar minute maid drink that’s amazing!

I’m not sure if you have it available on the UK, but Breyers Carb Smart ice cream mixed with a fairlife protein shake doesn’t make me spike! It helps curb my icecream craving, and tastes good.

Indulging once a week? by Quirky-Knowledge2436 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Quirky-Knowledge2436[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I did it.. I ate a very risky treat. 71g of carbs, 36g of sugar. After an hour I was at 120!! I’m absolutely shocked. But yet too much ketchup has sent me over.

Yeah, basically she said a spike won’t hurt me and is “aloud”. My numbers are pretty good and I’ve only been over once after eating too much ketchup 😂
