I failed my 3hr test today and awaiting contact from the maternal fetal medicine place about more information and what happens now. I was just wondering if I could have gotten GD with this pregnancy bc my first baby was on the bigger side? Or is it bc I’m over weight now?

My son who is 14 months was born 9lbs 5oz. I didn’t have GD with him. I gained so much weight with him though and then afterwards I had to eat like a pig or my milk production plummeted. So I didn’t lose much weight afterwards. I got pregnant quickly with our second. My son was about 10months when I got pregnant, BC baby, and only one month post breastfeeding.

I don’t eat sweets like ever I crave pizza and bagels lol and I only ever drink water- with the exception of my daily morning tea and latte from Dunkin 2xs a week. So idk how I even got GD. I know I’m over weight. I was 130lbs when my got pregnant with my first, 210 at delivery and with this baby i got pregnant at 185-190lbs. I’m now 203lbs with three months to still go.

I guess I’m also just sad I have GD bc I feel like it’s my fault bc I let myself go afTer getting pregnant:(
