So, I mentioned elsewhere that the docs told me yesterday that I have gestational diabetes. It was a bit of a surprise, and I'm still in a bit of shock over it all, but my logical brain is already dealing with it. Emotionally it's a bit rough mostly because this is turning out to be a pretty difficult pregnancy and I just wasn't prepared for any other challenges.

So anyway, I'm supposed to eat small meals which are low in sugars and high in fibre every few hours. The biggest problem with this is that I'm just not that hungry really. I feel like if I start stuffing myself I'll just vomit. Anyway, I suppose I just have to have a cracker or a stick of celery or something in between main meals. I haven't really been eating that much at all though. I think my stomach has shrunk a bit after all the vomiting and even if it hasn't, I think I'll just get indigestion worse if I eat too much.

Life sux just at the moment, but I'm trying to bouy myself up with planning and getting started on setting up the room for the baby, which will realistically be here in as little as 10 weeks, so it's time to get started I guess.

First though, I have to have a rescan because they couldn't see some parts of the baby in the 20 week scan, so hopefully that'll all be fine and I wont have anything else to worry about on top of that.

The good news is, the medication seems to be keeping my BP close to normal so far, so as long as I don't forget to take it, things are ok that way.

Don't get pregnant when you're old. It sux.
