It's been long time since I've been regularly updating the blog. I've been diagnised with Gestational Diabetes. I was upset with the news and couldn't deal with it immediately. Worrying about the baby, couldn't concentrate properly on work also (luckily didn't have any immediate release). I could share the news with my husband immediately since we both work in same office. He also got the bad news about PSO. He was also so upset. I wish he could come out of that very soon because this issue is there since long time, nearly 2years. Only difference is he finally went to Dr. for check up and his doubt was confirmed. Deep in my heart, I was wishing it shouldn't be PSO because he'll be terribly upset. But anyways, PSO was confirmed. I was searching over net for ayurvedic and natural treatments of PSO and come across some food items. Did some search on Gestational Diabetes also and going thru all the information got scared. Too many doubts and too many questions pondering my head. It took me few hours to digest the fact. Immediately took appointment with nutrionist which I got only after 2days. By evening, I'm set to face the fact. I said to myself, no matter how tough it would be, I'm going to take it, all I want is healthy baby. I want my kid to be healthy, smart and have better future. "GOD only helps one who helps oneself"... The first thing I started from that evening onwards is cutting down on rice and sugars. Tue and wedbesday were tough days for me waiting to meet nutritionist and worrying about the baby. I couldn't sleep properly in the nights also. Just praying GOD for good. My husband was trying to assure me that everything will be fine, not to worry. Finally the awaited Thursday has come and went to meet her. After seeing the numbers and talking to her, I'm so much relieved. She gave me guidelines to follow for the next 2 months and Accucheck-Aviva to monitor the blood sugar levels 4 times throughout the day. Most of the stuff she has told me is what I'm following after going over net and talking to friends with similar problem. It's mainly diet and excercise. I kept following the same strictly. Today (Friday), I tested for my blood sugar level and it's 96!! I'm so happy, ofcourse want to see below 90 but
96 is not a bad number. I'm just following the guidelines and praying GOD to give me enough strength. Being pregnant, craving for different food items and wishing to sleep more hours is common. I'm just trying to control cravings. It's taking long time for me to prepare food and washing all the boxes (ofcourse, every day for 4 dishes, can't do dish washer). I wish I could get some help. I'm so upset with the way things are going. Despite all, I'm happy for one thing.
My husband is trying to come out for a walk with me in the evening. I'm so happy with this.
I'm trying to complete all the tasks by myself. Hopefully, over the weekend, I'll come up
with a schedule for a week for what to eat and keep most of the things ready. That way, I can save some time and get more sleep and rest. I planned to read to my daughter daily for 30 to 60mins which is good for her brain development. I'm talking to my baby on morning walk.
She's my companion for my morning walk (ofcourse in all the walks :-)). Fresh breeze, bloossming flowers, soil smell and birds voice brings fresh energy to me. I can tell my little one is also enjoying it. Today, I told her about the flowers, how people are working out in gym...
