Gestational Diabetes

I got it and have to take insulin at night.   Crapola, but whatever.
The baby is measuring fine.  His heart rate is fine. His movements are fine.  I am fine.  i just sat in the OB triage for 4 hrs trying to get a baseline on this guy, but he is so freaking active it took that long! 

I lost a pound since they put me on this low glycemic diet, so now I have only gained 23 lbs.  I thought 25 lbs was my limit according to my OB, however the gestational diabetes nurses said I should only gain 10 for the entire pregnancy.  I am obese based off my BMI.  Oh and I shrunk an inch.

Bottom line:    I am mad at the system for being inconsistent and the system actually seems inconsistent depending on your insurance.  So I am pissed at the system. 
I will take the insulin, I will do whatever I need to do to make sure the baby is healthy, however, almost everyone I talk to thinks this is ridiculous.

Is it?  Are they trying to pinpoint the increase of childhood obesity, or are they just trying to make an emotionally unstable pregnant woman feel like crap.  Who knows!
