I was really miserable when I learnt that I have GD, was depressed for quite a while coz I LOVE food especially sinful food and sweet stuff. But for the sake of baby, I have to endure. My gynae kept reminding me, if I don't take care, baby will either become too big or if not too small and fear of stillborn, these are the implications.

In fact, the meal plan is based on a healthy diet which we are actually supposed to follow on a daily basis anyway. Just that we have so conveniently take our health for granted by over indulgence. After a while, I got used to eating healthily and only indulge once in a while. And I also went for daily walks of 2 to 3 km (which helped in my delivery, dilation quite fast). It's a pain to do finger prick test 7 times a day, but really no choice (once stablise knowing which food ok, which food not, only test once or twice a week). With a baby, it's our responsibility to take care of our health so that we can take care of them.

Frankly speaking, it's no use kidding ourselves by 'faking' results coz at the end of the day, both mother and baby would suffer. Trust me, if you think pregnancy is tough, wait till the baby comes out, there are a million and one thing to worry about... motherhood is an even tougher journey (my baby is now 7.5 months and it's tiring every single day).

Brace up mummies!

don't worry, the drink are not that bad, i had done the test last week and 1 shot finish up the drink. My father is a diabete and my result are ok for both my 1st and current pregnancy. But waiting for another 2 hours so that you can start to eat is terrible as you are both tired and hungry. I went for a short shopping near bugis and felt like fainting and very tired after a short walk. After the 2nd jab done after 2 hours, i went to have a my breakfast and lunch at macdonald. phew... finally it's over.

I took at kkh. It's not flavoured de. It's very sweet and thick. For me I almost choke by the sweetness when I drank the 1st mouth. Better bring water with u. The nurses only gave 1/4 of water and it's really not enuff to remove the taste. I drank another mouth of water then u felt better. Btw it cost $14+ after gst at kkh.
