Angry, sad and tired
Im 31 weeks and just got diagnosed yesterday. I took my test weeks ago but no one ever called me. Basically I failed the fasting but other numbers are fine.
I am going to be honest, I hate my doctors and the system where I live. The nutritionist rambled on for almost two hours and all I gathered was, “sounds like you eat well, don’t change anything and test sugars.” Oh and “after your baby is born we are going to keep you longer and prick your baby more.” Don’t talk about my baby like you own them and they aren’t even here.
I didn’t have GD with my first. I just feel so discouraged and I don’t want to have to be induced. Im honestly embarrassed about this diagnosis.
I don’t trust my doctors not to bully me into an induction come time. They did last time and I didn’t have GD.
I Started monitoring yesterday after I picked up supplies. 120 an hr after dinner. I ate cottage cheese and strawberries for a bedtime snack.
This morning i woke up and my fasting was 110 then 104 then 101. Is my machine busted? I washed my hands before testing and then tested different fingers. I just took it again and it was 124 1 hour after breakfast.
Im so defeated and I absolutely hate this. Im Just looking for positive stories of not being induced and of lowering fasting numbers with diet and rest.
Oh im in America. Our c section rate is over 30% which is insane and disgusting. They try to induce everyone here anyway.
