Gestational Diabetes

Aisha • Abdulrahman 💍 Amirrah 10.01.21 👨‍👩‍👧 + Baby Sultan #2 2022 🤍

I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 33 weeks and I just feel defeated 😔

I’ve had a horrible pregnancy, excessive vomiting and pretty much unable to do anything (cleaning, cooking). I’m 20 and a housewife, so I feel even more horrible I can’t do the basic things for my husband.

My baby is measuring on the bigger side (5lbs at 32 weeks) and I am a bigger sized person.

I’ve been constantly reminded about being overweight while pregnant. From loosing weight to dieting. I was asked to loose 10kg before birth. I am weighing 100kg and can’t stop thinking, is my weight now the reason I have gestational diabetes too?

I think I’m starting to suffer from pre - natal depression.

Any mamas with gestational diabetes that have any advice, words of wisdom or anything? I’m a young soon to be mum that could really do with it.
