Hi friends,
Just now i called my doc and she told me that i diabetis and its 153 now.
So they will call on tuesday and fix an appointment with diabetis class so i really need to go on strict diet itseems.
As soon as i heard from first i told my Hubby and sec person is this board who really loves me,i cant tell my parents as they will get shock bec u all know how parents will feel.
Now iam having coffee without suger its like..............i dont what to explain i hope ,wish and pray that whoever goes to this test may not have this problem bec u cant eat whatever u want now u need to watch for everything.
And by the way iam going to have my Baby shower on 17th sep at my home ,Yash already started sending the invitation now.
so i think i will forget about eating cake on my shower but i will enjoy it and get ready for it.
Tomorrow Dad told me to call them as its VermahaLaxmi pooja so iam going to call and ask my mom all the procedure of baby shower.
Woff ! now iam feeling little better after writing all these iam relaxed now.
Hey friends i feel like crying Yaar..............................
suhanya replied. Dear Vidya..hope u are doing gud...first of all..donn worry a lot..i have a friend here in SG who delivered in SG two weeks bak who had GD..see..now-a-days GD is becoming quite common if there is a family history of diabetics...and this pregnancy related GD will go almost after a week u deliver..plus..the only thing is for the next 3 months..until u deliver u shd be on diet..take insulin shots...test after every meal or so ..as advised by your diabetic doc.. i know its difficult to be on diet in this stage..but still we have to..
also when u have GD,the baby mostly will not come to a engaged position most likely..and that means u have to go for a C-section...plus when u have GD..the doc will not wait for u to complete the very full term as they donn want the baby to gain more weight..which means that u will be into delivery sooner than expected...that's it..so nothing to worry..all these i wanted to tell u as my friend experienced the same very very recently...so..anything u wanna know ..post me your questions..i can get her suggesstions...kk??so enjoy u'r baby shower..donn stress yourself...kk??enjoy....and get bak to me sooner..donn worry...Take care...

Luv lots

susmitha replied. Hi vidya,
cheer up. The diet 'll be only for another few months. I hope u'll adjust to the new diet. Instead of sugar u can substitute Equal or Splenda sweetener. They might tell u to eat more wheat product instead of rice. But u can do it. At first u might feel sad but we all know once u think of u'r baby u'll be ok. Enjoy your baby shower. If u r desperate to eat cake u have to prepare by your self adding sweetener or any other sweets. May be in the class they might tell u.
But think of u'r baby then u'll do whatever the doc told u to do.
Best of luck
remeber its only for few months.
susmitha Naina replied. Hey Vidya,

Cheer up! It's only temporary phase. Just think about your baby and what's good for him. I am sure you will forget everything else. :-) Well, take good care of yourself and enjoy your baby shower with family and friends.

Greeshma replied. Dear Vidya,

Please cheer up. Like everyone has mentioned, you just have to take care for another three months. Meanwhile, enjoy your baby shower and do stuff which makes you happy. You can eat all you want after the delivery. All our best wishes are with you.

Take care
Greeshma ammy replied. Hi Vidya,
Sorry to hear about the new. Be brave and just pass these three months.. I am sure you can do it. Enjoy the baby shower with your friends and family. Wear Saree and lots of Green glass bangales(if avaliable) on that day.. The jingles of the bangles makes you really feel better. Even I had them for some days.. but due to work I had to remove them. but I am planning to buy the metal bangale.
As my MIL is not staying with us in Pune so I always misout all the traditional pooja. She does explain me how to do it on phone.. but I hardly get any time in the morning to do them. and by evening again tried... so I just join my hands in front of god. So are you going to perform the Varamahalashmi Pooja?

Enjoy the days and don't think on the GD. vara replied. Hi Vidya, I know what u r undergoing now. U do hv some information about GD diet in October board. There r couple of diets which our friends followed, u may c which one would suit u. Pl go thru them.

U need not take coffee without sugar. Add either Equal or Splender (sugar supplement with 0 calories). U will hv the same taste. Its not harmful.

Pl write us for any other queries.

goodluck and keep smiling. its a matter of few days. leya replied. hi vidhya,
i'm from nov board. my EDD is by the end of nov. i can understand wat u r going thru. i just went for my 3 hr test this week n it came out -ve.
so i know how desperate u can be. but all this will pass soon. another 3
months and u'll be fine. maybe it god's way of telling us to eat healthy food. thats how i took it for a week until i had my 3 hr test and still continue doing it.
i'm not trying to hurt u in any way . i know its easy to say. but we r all there for u....2 get u thru this.
enjoy ur baby shower and next time we shud hear from a cheerful vidhya Mihika replied. Hi Vidya,

Sorry to hear about your results. But its fine its only temporary phase and will pass off soon within 3 months. Don't worry and concentrate on your diet. Everything will be fine once you are used to it. Don't get tensed and enjoy your pregnancy.

Bye and take care,
Meghana replied. Hey Vidya,

meghana ss replied. Dear Vidya
Sorry about your results. Please try to calm down ? I know this must be incredibly crushing news but please don't let it upset you so much.

I have a friend who had Gestational Diabetes during her pregnancy & she says that once you understand your diet , then it is pretty easy to stick with it. .. and it is only until your baby arrives. Just 3 months.

There is a post on the October board by
Vara dated 2005-07-24 with the topic 'Gestational Diabetes'. This is just some information which I think might help you.

Have fun at your baby shower.Good luck, ok ? Cheers,ss Poulomi replied. Hi Vidya...
Really sorry to hear about your results. It must be tough. Hey, try not to worry too much, girl. Remember whatever food you give up its for the baby..I suggest you read up as much as you can on the topic. keep your chin up and keep smiling. We are all praying for you and things will be just fine..
Enjoy your baby shower...
Lots of love ..
Poulomi
