I am not a medical professional and am offering no medical advice! Haha, not my fav video ever but oh well! Here I drink the drink in preparation for the 1 hr gestational diabetes blood test. I also had a piece of toast which was allowed by my OB.

I have a few questions about gestational diabetes and seeing a perinatologist?
I am going to start seeing the perinatologist for uncontrolled gestational diabetes. Will I still see the OB on a regular basis and only go to the perinatologist for the diabetes also? Will my regular OB still do the delivery or will the perinatologist do it? What can I expect out of my visits with the new doctor and what sort of extra testing will they do on the baby if I have to take insulin?

I know they wanted me to take it when i was around 14weeks and they said they needed it by 20 weeks. Because i have diabetes that runs in my family. I am 30 weeks and im dreading it!! I took it with my first pregnancy and it was horrible! Failed the first one and passed the 3 hour one so i didn’t have it with my first pregnancy.
What are some breakfast ideas when you have gestational diabetes?
I’m 33 weeks pregnant and was recently diagnosed with a touch of gestational diabetes. I am no longer allowed to have more than 15g of carbs for breakfast before 10:00 am. So I have been reduced to some fruit and a glass of milk or yogurt for breakfast. Prior, I was a milk and cereal, muffins, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, and toast eater for breakfast. Now I am starving again after I’ve been at work for an hour with this reduced carb breakfast. It’s hard to have the energy I need to keep up at work when I haven’t had a filling breakfast. I start at 8:00 and I don’t get my lunchbreak until 1:00 usually. I can bring a snack to tie me over until lunch, but I still can’t even eat that until after 10. So do you have any good ideas of foods that will fill me up better but still be within the 15g of carbs guideline?
