Nothing is easy

I've been feeling like my stomach has been blowing up out of control and only at 14 weeks, I literally look like I'm 6 months along. I've been due to have my 3 hour glucose test since my doctor said I was at risk for developing gestational diabetes due to: race, age and family history...but have been putting it off because I've been feeling poorly. Seeing that I've still been feeling so out of it and also looking at the size of my large bump, I got concerned and asked a friend who had G.D to bring her testing kit. So far my glucose level has been high after breakfast. But then again, I did eat a high in carb break: wheat english muffin with butter and 1/2 a purple sweet potato. I'm gonna try to eat a more diabetic friendly diet for lunch and hope that my levels even out. At this point, I don't think I can deal with feeling sick and knowing that I have gestational diabetes. 


I'm keeping my fingers crossed that after my 3 hr test, all will be clear. Pregnancy is complicated! There's no one thing that's easy peasy about it. I'll never take it for granted or look at women with children as pansies in any way again. Women Power! :)
