I did! Well, I had to do one when I was 9 weeks pregnant because I had Gestational Diabetes when I was pregnant with Trenton. My biggest motivator for trying to kick the sugar habit is the baby… I really don’t want gestational diabetes again! I felt so tired and sick the entire pregnancy and I had to pee… all of the time! We’re talking: I would go before bed, lie down in bed, get right back up, go back to the bathroom… It was nuts. This time it doesn’t seem so bad, so I’m hoping for better results (fingers crossed), and I’m trying to exercise more. It’s really hard, and my body is going through withdrawals. BUT I’m having some really good experiences (like being able to wake up earlier, not having as much nausea…) so I’m working hard to stick with it. Also, if you do get diagnosed with gestational diabetes, they don’t have you watch sugar content in stuff, they actually have you keep track of your carbs which I thought was interesting. The diet they put me on was easy to follow and I ended up not gaining nearly as much weight as I did with Lacy’s pregnancy -so there’s that. I do another glucose test next month (at 28 weeks, I think). I hope your results come back good :) If not, I’ll send you some low carb snacks, haha :)

Have you done your glucose tolerance test yet? I just did my 3-hour since I almost failed the 1-hour. But I crave the crap out of some sugar, and I’m worried it might be GD…
