Venting about gestational diabetes and clinic

Im so frustrated this pregnancy. I have had terrible anxiety from the start (currently 28 weeks) and now on top of that I have gestational diabetes.. I had been seeing a nurse practitioner who also saw me my entire pregnancy last time and she went on maternity leave 2 months ago, I was happy I was finally gonna see her again as I wasn’t happy with who I had been seeing and now because I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes today I was told I can’t see her and strictly have to see a high risk dr.. I was upset at that and even more so when the nurse on the phone made a big deal about my baby measuring “bigger” on my anatomy scan (by 5 days) and made sure to make it a point it is because I wasn’t managing my levels which was frustrating because I just had an appointment yesterday and was told my glucose numbers had been good… now not only do I have to wait 5 more weeks for the next ultrasound but also was told I would have to go in every week since I’m considered high risk which is another hassle because I don’t have a car, my spouse is the only one working and I live 45 min from my clinic… I’m sad I haven’t/can’t enjoy this pregnancy as I Plan on it being my last…
