ok so.....the good news is the diet i have to go on is nowhere near as bad as i thought it would be. its only slight changes because my food intake isnt that bad anyway. also, because my sugar level results taken at the start of my pregnancy were fine, and my diet isnt that bad, it does look like its gestational diabetes only, and not diabetes, but we cant be certain.
the bad news is....apparently my levels at the mo are so high that it looks like i may be needing insulin
and, ill have this for every other pregnancy i go through, and there is a risk it can develop into normal diabetes.
i have been given a machine that test my sugar levels, and its baisically a needle that pricks my finger. i have to do it 6 times a day. i will find out soon if i do actually need to use insulin, if i do ill be a real life pin cushion!!
the main risk of gestational diabetes is the baby being large, and causing complications at birth. other than that, like i said, it can develop into normal diabetes which is more serious obviously. but 9 times out of ten, diet or insulin injections will lower my sugar levels and make things a whole lot better.
more bad news.....we had a crash on the way to the hospital!!!
it wasnt bad but thankfully he hit the front of the car and not my door. it totally was this other guys fault and he admitted it. he just went right into us. brian was super pissed off and told the guy i was pregnant and he came over and apologised and asked if i was ok. which i was and i am. brian had pressed on the breaks so we were stationary when he hit us so it wasnt as bad as it couldve been.
louis is fine though, hes been moving around tonight.
the future holds lots of phonecalls, appointments and hospital visits.......and for someone so socially phobic its pretty much hell. if it wasnt for louis i would siffer in silence but i would never risk his health or mine whilst he is inside me. ( or out of me as well)
i think this might be the kick up the arse ive really needed to totally take charge of my diet, and finally get healthy. event though my diet wasnt that bad....it wasnt the best....and i am over weight. once louis is born im gonna kick ass and get healthy and fit. iwant him to be proud of his mummy not ashamed.
brian is being a good daddy and joining me on the diet. but with a little more leeway though.
im just glad to hear i still eat strawberries and cheese!!!

Glad you and the little one are okay, car crashes are never fun but I know it must have been even worse worrying about Louis. Brian is a good guy, i know he will always be good to you and be the best dad.
