i have been diagnosed with gest.diabetes.i was send to dietitian for meal plan.what plan she gave me is half meal which i used to have earlier.for eg.i used to consumed 3 phulkas and little rice.now since 1 week i am having only 2 chapatis.if i eat more my blood sugar rises.i have started walking now everyday for 20 min after meals which earlier i never used to do.
but now i am seeing that i have lost weight by 2 pounds in 1 week in 33 weeks of pregnancy.
has anybody have this problem.
should i start consuming fats as i have limited their intake.please give me your opinion.
anyway i spoke with my Dr he told me to keep record of weight for 1 more week and then he will let me know what is to be done.

please help
s replied. Hi ANitha,
I have been diagonsed with GD in my 29th week of pregnancy and i have also lost weight initially.it is difficult to gain weight with the diet and exercise that we do during GD. I have gained a total of only 19 pounds in my whole pregnancy . I delivered a baby girl this october 2nd and she is almost a month now and doing fine...
So dont worry and please take care of the GD and dont let your sugar levels rise as they may pose risk to the baby..It is difficult but keep the eye on your reward that you are going to have at the end...As you are almost done and you have only seven more weeks only.. DOnt worry and try to manage GD with diet and exercise..

Everything will be fine... Have a happy pregnancy

S
