is it that easy to blame me? Mood

Wednesday, July 16, 2008 | A Sad story

ok so i have to go see a dietitcian friday at 8 a.m., i don't know why they (my doctor) put a rush on my appt with the dietician. i don't know if it is because we are finding out so late in my pregnancy or if i have a sever case of diabetes. being the person i am, i looked up some info on G.D.. there are risks. to me, to the baby. they say that my son and i are 50% more likely to have diabetes later in life. i am kinda freaked out. i have been calling to talk to people, like my hubby, my mom and people i talk to on a regular basis. they keep telling me "i knew you were not eating right" "we told you to lay off the sweets". I REALLY NEEDED THIS PREGNANCY TO BE GUILT-FREE. now i fear i have put yet again another baby at risk. I NEED MILES TO BE OK!!! he is already too big, and they want to take him early. what if his lungs are not ready? what if he has hypoglycemia? I already feel repondsible for Claire passing, now i feel responsibile for this. i am really upset, i need to calm down. i have been crying since i got the call. i will find out more on friday. Wish me luck!~

Eating sweets can not bring on GD, eating salt can not bring on preeclampsia etc..tell these "helpful" people to do a little research.

Hmmm I am going to tell you a story about a friend of mine who had SEVERE GD with both kids. Jod is a very large girl in height and weight. When she got pregnant she was told by her doc that for her health she could not gain weight.. so right from the get go Jod ate very healthy, to the point she lost weight in her pregnancy. She followed the doc's strict guideline and BAM she got GD!! So for sure it is nothing to do with what you eat - it is som ething that can happen, just like pre-e, high BP and all that - it is just another risk or pregnancy.
I agree, and these people who are freaking you out really need to do research and understand it all before they give you advice and what not.
Good luck on Friday!

Hon, i had GD with Nathan, There is nothing we did to cause this, just like some diabetics, we don't do anything. You didn't do anything wrong. Stick to the diet. You'll be fine

i talkec to my hubby again. he appologized. he said he did not mean to point fingers, he just knew "something" was diffrent this go around. i am just a bit scared, i need to get through this pregnancy with some sanity.

Yep you did not cause this! Actually it's a good thing to see a dietician if it was severe they'd put you on insulin. I had a slight case with Daegan and I just changed my diet. I actually lost 3 lbs eating this way! Good luck sweetie and try not to stress. Hugs
