My sugar came thoda high in the GTT test this week and gynac said its gestational. Honestly im a little scared now, does this mean my whole pregnancy is high risk and I have to be extra careful? Pls share if anyone went through this.
My mother-in-law suggested drinking methi water, which is good, but I strictly followed my doctor's diet chart too. It is categorized as high risk just so doctors can monitor you closely, but with proper walking and diet, everything goes smoothly.
Listen, no need to panic but don't take it lightly either. Just cut down on white rice and sugar completely from today and follow whatever medicine or diet your doctor gives. Thousands of women handle this daily.
My hospital had a dedicated dietician who mapped out my meals after my GD diagnosis. They monitor you a bit more closely with extra scans, so just ask your gynac for a clear management plan.
Having PCOS earlier made me very prone to this, so I had to be extremely careful with my sugar intake. It does put you in the high risk category, but don't lose heart because it is highly manageable with discipline.
It sounds super scary like some major villain, but honestly it just means no sweets for a bit! My fingers became a pincushion with all the testing, but baby was perfectly healthy. Think of it as a forced pre-baby fitness regime!
I tried to control mine by walking 20 minutes after every meal and cutting simple carbs. But please keep your doctor in the loop and never skip your sugar tracking, because sometimes diet alone isn't enough.
It feels scary when they write 'high risk' on your file, but it is very common. Just follow your doctor's advice on eating and you will deliver a healthy baby.
