I am on a very strict gestational diet along with blood testing to make sure my sugars are level. I am basically for an intents and purposes in my normal diet a vegetarian. I have no problem with eating chicken or fish but I haven't really being doing that. But since this new diet I have been incorporating chicken and fish. It has been hard for me to adjust but I will do what it takes to make sure my baby girl is as healthy as possible. Basically a gestational diet is very low carbs and high in protein with veggies as well. The protein counteracts any sugars that are accumulated from eating carbs or sugars. I don't have to worry about the sugar part I am not a sugary type of individual but the salty potato chips have had to take a backseat. Fortunately, it is only temporary I go back to normal after delivery and my gestational diabetes are always under control with a diet which besides the protein is really no different than my normal everyday diet. The only thing that gives me comfort or makes me feel better is I have about 8 more weeks of this intense diet. I have already lost quite a bit of weight which can be a little alarming. I am looking forward to my little one being on the outside so I can go back to my normal routine.
