Any good encouraging stories about GD?

Keri

Hey so I’m 27 weeks I was just diagnosed with GD and so yesterday I had to go to my first class there were 4 of us in the class so the nurse gets started and I would say the first hour in a half all!! She talked about was fetal death!!! And went on down the list of all complications stories of ladies she knows that had bad experiences and even more negative things about GD and fetal death and situations that could put my life at risk during birth and giving birth to stillborn... I suffered from severe anxiety prior to this pregnancy and I still suffer now but I have learned to control it a bit during pregnancy without medication so anyhow I swear the more she talked the more nervous and anxious I became in the class I started sweating my heart racing I almost got up and left I also almost opened my mouth and wanted to tell her IS THERE ANY HOPE OR LIGHT HERE AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!!???? That I or any of these ladies will be successful!!! Geeze! And the other ladies looked just as uncomfortable as I did One lady said she felt like crying!But I stayed and still after the 3 hours I was there not once did she ever!! Say anything positive or give some sort of encouragement that if we followed our plan we would be fine our babies would be fine I get she may need to tells us the dangers and there probably are women who just don’t follow the plan and they are at risk as well as their babies but come on the entire class!! Was all negative I left there not feeling to good about myself I am overweight I was prior to pregnancy but I have done well and have not gained any weight in this pregnancy and the doctor is fine with it she’s says if I do gain she doesn’t want more than 10-15 pounds I have been checking my sugar 5 days prior to this class and I do great controlling my sugar after meals and I’m eating well but I struggle with my fasting always usually In the 90s so I’m trying my best really am I have a good attitude about this but after yesterday that lady left me feeling terrible so I would like to hear some good successful stories if you got some thanks!
