Justine - great news that you passed the 3 hour! From what I understand getting gestational diabetes is just a warning sign that you could develop it later in life but it is by no means a direct correlation. I know exactly what you mean about feeling upset about the diagnosis - I have no diabetes in my family, do not eat a lot of sugars (but alas I am a carb whore), am not overweight, etc., etc. but I was a little more prepared for it because with my PCOS I was insulin resistant and I was told by my maternal fetal medicine doc that it is much more common in multiple gestations. I am so hoping that I pass on Wednesday but I am coming to terms with the need to change my diet regardless - oh well, it is what is best now and going forward honestly so I might as well get used to it. I've started panicking a bit about health issues and wanting to be in the best physical health possible to live a long healthy life with these babies so maybe this is the jump start I need!
Alana - sorry to hear that you are having some stressful situations but it is great that you are being monitored and can really be well informed about what is going on.
I hear you all on the growing discomfort - I too can't sleep very well, this rib/upper abdominal pain is driving me to the brink of insanity, I literally can't walk if I sit for too long, hip, back pain is miserable and I am super, super tired lately BUT I want to feel like this for at least 10 more weeks, what's 10 weeks in the grand scheme of things, ya know!
