Really upset about gestational diabetes.

sarhamac

I am 26 weeks with our first, a boy. and have just failed the 2nd glucose test, and have gestational diabetes. I am super upset. I have gained 27 lbs. I have been eating healthy for the most part( I cheat every now and then). I am getting different answered from everyone. WIC says i'm gaining too much weight and it's because I'm eating too much fat. my chiropractor says I'm gaining too much weight and have swollen feet and ankles because eating too many starchy carbs,  which btw is what I am getting from WIC, and my dr. didn't say anything about my weight gain until the results of the 1st glucose test.

I see the scale, but I don't see it in the mirror. I'm not as big as alot of the mom on here that are as far along as me. I don't think I'm showing weight gain anywhere else (face, arms, butt, etc)

I've had people as me how far along I am more then once, because I don't look big enough to be this far.

 

I'm frustrated, and upset and already totally stressed out this.
