| 10 weeks 2 days
Our appointment yesterday didn't go so good - no sugar, no protein, nothing bad in my urine. I haven't gained any weight, I've actually lost 3 pounds since 10 days ago when I was at the doctor last. They didn't check the babies heartbeat though - we were disappointed...
Now, on to the not so great....
My doctor didn't like my blood sugars from the past 2 weeks and my Hemoglobin A1C wasn't too great (that tests for overall sugar levels). Today I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes - already - at 10 weeks pregnant. I am being referred to to an endocrinologist who specializes in GD. I also have to begin seeing my OB every 2-3 weeks rather than every 4-5 weeks. I can have no sugar now - none - and only 1 serving of "white" carbs like rice and bread daily. My OB was talking about how if I didn't get this under control my baby could have serious problems, the placenta could have problems, and I could have problems. I feel so guilty.... I started this pregnancy out weighing more than I should, not exercising nearly enough, and not eating the best. I feel like I could have prevented this. I feel like if something happens to this baby it's my fault. |
