Spikes in 2nd trimester

Lori

Anyone else having problems with sugars spiking after some meals? I'm counting the carbs in each meal, but even then sometimes my 2 hour number will spike to the mid-130s and I freak out! I feel like I'm killing my baby. I know I shouldn't feel this much guilt, but the word 'stillbirth' hangs over me like a spectre. Last night after dinner it was 152. I literally waited all night to start bleeding.

I'm also having a hard time sleeping at normal hours (stress, headaches) and thus not always having three solid meals. I sleep through lunchtime a lot.

Please someone give me some good news or positive stories. I'm driving myself nuts. I'm only 14 weeks and it's a long road ahead. I haven't even told that many people we are pregnant yet, because I feel like in going to lose the baby any second now. I didn't expect GD, especially not so soon, and I think I'm having a hard time coming to terms with all the risks.
