Any of the sisters deal with gestational diabetes but already had a restrictive diet pre and during pregnancy?
Doctor says I have it, but I honestly don’t believe them. I don’t eat cane sugar (not even in sauces), gluten, dairy, or soy. So not surprised I couldn’t process their drink-I don’t consume stuff like that regularly. I walk a mile or do HIIT training 5x/ week. The condition doesn’t run in my family (and my mom has 4 sisters w/kids-good sample size) (cont’d in comments)

So now they want me to meet with a dietitian and all of this crap that I’m fairly certain won’t work

I had it.....came out of nowhere with my 2nd child. Met with the dietitian, came up with a plan, followed the plan, had a healthy baby girl. Do what's best for the baby. BTW diabetes had little to do with the amount of sugar you ingest and more to do with how your body sugars (in all forms including carbs and fruit) and the function of the pancreas. Wishing you ah happy and healthy pregnancy!

Three months later, found a mouse in a glue trap and then some droppings. Been going crazy caulking and filling any opening with steel wool and caulk, but does anyone have experience with this?? At what point do you just move? Don’t know if I can take this anymore.

Calling her dark is acceptable and appreciated. I know "chocolate" comes from a place of affection, but I just can't embrace it 💯.
