Carmen, are you on meds for gestational diabetes, then? I didn't remember that you were taking meds for it, although I'm sure you told me. I hope you can get things under control! Be careful! I haven't had much of an issue since I got pregnant, but before, I would get the shakes if I didn't eat. I make sure I always have something on me, now.

I haven't had much of an issue so far with watching my carbs and sugar. I found a drink I like with Sucralose in it, and I've read that it's safe during pregnancy and has no effect on blood sugar. My favorite tortillas are low carb, so that's easy. And, I found a cereal that has lower carbs than most, but the best thing is that nearly half those carbs are dietary fiber, which I've read is a good compromise if you're taking in carbs.

I've gained about nine pounds so far, and still sitting at about 10 inches gained around my waist. I'll probably end up losing a pound or two cutting out the carbs and sugar I was eating prior to the testing. I know I was taking in too much sugar (in the form of beverages, mostly)

David and I are scheduled to take all of our classes in July. We're taking the childbirth, safety & CPR, breastfeeding and baby basics classes. Should be fun!
