Oh no . . . I have gestational diabetes!

The nurse called this morning with the results from my 3 hour glucose test on Friday . . . I actually have gestational diabetes. I am very surprised! Only about 3% of pregnant women get it and I for sure didn't think it would be me!

I am being referred to a peranatologist (is that it? specialist for high risk pregnancies). They are supposed to call me today to set up an appointment. I will be put on a special diet and will have to check my blood several times a day. If the diet itself doesn't work, then I will have to use insulin. I will do whatever they tell me to ensure Liam is as healthy as possible!

Stay tuned . . .
