GD expectations out the window
She was 8lbs, 3oz. I tore a little near my urethra but it's start of day two now and I feel practically normal when it comes to using the bathroom. I'd read so many things where expectations of GD are csections, inductions, inductions gone to csections, and so on. I'm happy to say that her sugar levels after birth were perfect, she wasn't "too big", and she is doing so well! I'm so glad it was worth all of the tight diet control and everything! And exercise! I can't stress how much exercise was important to managing my sugars!!!! Every dinner ended in a walk(20-30mins depending on what dinner was). Every single one. If I had a dessert later, then I walked for longer (35mins).
And glad my team of midwives let me wait it out until 41 weeks and not just induce me early for no solid good reason.
Good luck other GD mommas! I hope you also get to have the birth experience that you want!
