I’m 31 weeks pregnant and I just feel really down. I was recently diagnosed with GD.

I went from being a fit healthy young woman to putting on weight from a career change and then even more weight from pregnancy. I feel so ashamed of how I look, I’m doing really well sticking to the diet and fitting in exercise where I can but my blood sugar levels keep going up. I feel like I’ve let myself down and even worse my baby. All the other little things that come along with being pregnant didn’t even phase me and now all of a sudden I feel very overwhelmed and down about it all. Perhaps its hormones I seem to be either easily irritated or crying lately. I haven’t posted before and thought maybe writing it down might help me...I’m not looking for sympathy but I’d love to hear your story if you can relate.
