Gestational Diabetes

My doctor called me this morning and told me I have gestational diabetes. It was really disappointing to hear. Other than feeling tired sometimes and nauseous, I've been feeling ok. I have an appt. next week with a dietitian to help me check my blood sugar levels and advise me of a new diet. This is going to suck! No more sweets. I guess it will be good in the end. I think I"m the type of person that needs to be forced to take better care of myself.

Having just witnessed my sister recovering from c-section, that's certainly something that I want to avoid. It seems so much more common these days. I can't believe some women opt for one rather than delivering naturally. It's rediculous.
