midwife just called me to tell me I have gestational diabetes!!! gutted!!! got to go see consultant on monday!!! just had a cry to hubby and on here looking for reasurrance really!!!
Try not to worry too much. I'm 21+2 and have had diabetes since childhood. I'd heard all the horror stories about diabetes and pregnancy but it really hasn't been bad so far (fingers crossed). To be honest from some of the things I read on here its been fine.
Your consultant will keep a very close eye on you, I see mine every week and I can't fault their care. And its a matter of following what they tell you to do, eating healthily and watching your blood sugar levels.
My advice would be to avoid looking at things about it on the internet as it can be very scary but like I say mine has been fine.
