I have been very badly neglecting this blog. I have been so tired and felt like I've had next to no energy. I am slowly getting better though.
I've had to dramatically adjust my diet to keep my blood sugars low. I ended up with lots of ketones in my water which according to my diabetic midwife was from my body going into starvation mode so I have to eat a little more whilst still keeping my blood sugars within my limits. Its hard and I have had the odd spike in them once or twice every couple of days but this is the best diet I have ever been on as I can't cheat as I know it is not just me who will be affected by the results of my overeating.
I spent the first week getting really stressed out when I got a high blood sugar reading but am starting to relax a bit now as the stress is no good for baby either. I am keeping a food diary which is helping as then if I get a high I can look at what I've eaten and try and figure out where I went wrong. Normally means I had too many carbs. I don't even pretend to understand all of it though so have stopped stressing as I'm eating a million times more healthily than I was and am doing the best I can for myself and our baby girl.
I have been spending lots of time this week worrying about labour. I had 2 really good labours with my other 2 and they were big babies too (10lb 7 and 9lb 7) but I just don't know what's going to happen this time round. I am almost certain I will be induced at 38 weeks (7.5 weeks to go!!) but am worried I will end up with a caesarean if she's bigger than Josh was. I am petrified of the thought of one but on the other hand I will do whatever is necessary to make sure our baby is ok so if that means a caesarean then so be it.
I have another appointment with the obstetric consultant tomorrow and am also seeing my diabetic midwife and diabetic nurse. I have loads of appointments lined up for every week between now and having the baby which is reassuring that I'm being monitored so closely. I have my next scan in 2 weeks which will be interesting to see how she's grown.
Also, can't remember if I've mentioned it before but we have finally come up with baby's name - Gabrielle Victoria K____(our surname)
