Craving carbs - a problem??

Question

im 29+1 first pregnancy.. So I'm craving carbs and feel so guilty after eating carbs that il cause gestational diabetes and it will go unnoticed and cause harm to my baby as I wont get screened for it as I have no risk factors and started at a normal BMI..
I'm even worrying about having a big bowl of bran flakes which I love ! 
and fancy some cookies...
Would you be strict with carbs? 
How many do you eat a day in grams?

Answer

You don’t cause GD by what you eat - it has to do with the development of the placenta and the hormones it produces. Even if you did happen to get it, you still eat about 135g of carbs per day WITH GD (by most guidelines) so don’t skip carbs, that’s what helps baby grow. Keep a balanced diet, indulge a craving here and there, and try and stay lightly active and all should be fine

Answer

I've survived off carbs my whole pregnancy. My baby girl doesn't like  me looking at meat lol

Answer

I have gd and they actually dont tell you to stay away from carbs at all. Just to eat a balanced diet!

Answer

Do everything in moderation. I think people go over board when it comes to being pregnant. Don’t stress yourself out. Just make sure you get PLENTY of FRESH fruits and veggies!

Answer

Eating carbs doesnt cause gestational diabetes. You just cant est carbs if you already have gestation diabetes. Eat the carbs you're pregnant.
