Just starting my 3rd Tirmester
Cowgal7083 posted:
Hello All,
I'm just starting my 3rd trimester and I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Amanda and I'm PG with my first child. My DH and I are having a little boy we are calling Wyatt. I'm an avid horse rider and its killing me to not ride my guys, but I know its a good idea to be careful, so I spend a lot of time with them on the ground. I also teach High Scool science. I am due Aug 6th meaning a very hot summer for me, but I have over a month to get ready for everything.
I also was diganosed with gestational diabetes, along with the seizures I have had for years. Any recomendations or tips with how to handle or deal with anything I may experience would be appriciated.
Thanks

Welcome! Good luck getting through the heat of the summer. I was terrified of having to deal with that and was very grateful to have my due date be before the heat came.
I was diagnosed with GD this time around as well. I've been able to manage it with just diet and I've found that as long as I have some protein with each meal and/or snack, my numbers are really good, even when I splurge and have something sweet. I eat a lot of nuts, greek yogurt, and peanut butter. Cheese and meats are also good sources of protein but I'm not a big fan of either. Have you met with a diabetic counselor? I met with one and it helped a lot to have her explain things to me and to have the little pamphlet she gave me with the amount of carbs in various foods.
No experience with the seizures. Do you take medication to help manage them? What has your doctor recommended?

Congrats on the 3rd Tri! And btw Aug 6th is the best birthday ever, although I am bias since it is my birthday 
I just moved from CO to AZ at 32 weeks and it is so much hotter here, I am just glad I only have a few more weeks left. No way I could go all the way into the dead of summer pregnant here!
Congrats again!
