That stands for "Gestational Diabetes" - Hi, I'm Leah and I'm a GD test failer. Twice. I failed the one hour and failed the 3 hour (this was right around Thanksgiving).
So I went to a dietician and a diabetic counselor. I have to check my blood sugar 4 times a day. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I actually lost 3 lbs in the first 5 days of the diet - so I upped the carbs I was eating (ex. for lunch I can have 30-60 carbs, I was eating around 35 - but now I'm up to around 50-60 so I don't lose weight).
It's going well and the dietician and my Dr. are happy with where I'm at. But, I will be induced at 39 weeks, as GD babies can get too chubby :) and are harder to deliver.

Everyone loves a pee in a cup story!
And so you shall have one!
SOOOO - I went to my first weekly appt today!! And the first thing they always have me do is give a urine sample. I didn't really have to pee - so I was really concentrating so I wouldn't miss the pee container!
(WARNING - TMI)
And OMG I was peeing everywhere and hardly any into the container and I was kinda confused because usually I can hit it just fine. But I got pee on the label of the cup and everywhere! LOL So embarrasing!
So anyway, I go to wipe myself and there is like FABRIC down there, WET FABRIC! And it dawns on me that the belt of my shirt had fallen through my legs and I'm thinking - What am I going to do? - it's all wet! (I tied the shirt in the front - cause the knot on your back is irritating in a chair all day)
But I checked my shirt and no - it's not my belt! It's fine...I'm SOO confused and then I realize....I freaking didn't pull down my PANTIES! I peed on my underwear LMAO!
OMG - No wonder I had such a hard time hitting the cup! So, I had to like take off my shoes and jeans to get my soaking undies off! And NORMALLY they have me go to the restroom right away - so I have my coat and purse - I was going to just take another little pee container and put my undies in it and put that into my purse. But I had NOTHING with me - and you would see that huge container in my pocket! - So I wrapped them in paper towels and had to put them in my pocket! WHY I didn't just throw them away, I have no idea!
Well, with the maternity pants, I normally just pull everything down at once, and I guess I didn't catch my undies just right! - in my defense, I was wearing a thong LOL, so it's not like it's that THICK (wide) down there, which is luckily why I still got some pee in the cup! And it's not like I can see down there anymore LOL.. hehee... so I went to Walmart at lunch to buy underwear haha.
I'm sure the nurse was like - What the heck is taking her so long in there!!!
Just thought I'd share and hopefully make you smile today :) HEHE
