Has anyone else been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and been put on medication? Ive been given metformin to start with as diet isn’t working and if sugars don’t behave i have to go onto insulin.

Did anyone have a doula they absolutely loved? I’m looking for a gentle, warm, calming presence. I’d like someone very experienced - at least 5-6 years.

I was diagnosed with GD (so annoying) and so I’ve been needing to watch my carb intake and check my blood glucose 4 times a day. This process has started to make me realize how much a yummy snack actually impacts my mood and emotions. Being 33 weeks pregnant, I’m achey, and sometimes cranky… and all I want is some...

So, I know my midwife! We went to school together and haven't seen eachother in 18 years.. all has been fine so far with appointments BUT I was told all bloods and sweeps etc will be done at hospital.
