28 weeks pregnant and I am feeling so low. I’ve been so lucky up until now; I had virtually no morning sickness and felt amazing through my second trimester. But now into the third and suddenly it has all come crashing down. I have SPD and terrible problems with heartburn. A couple of bad episodes of nighttime illness make me think I have gallstones. And the worst thing of all, I’ve just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
I feel like the whole pregnancy is suddenly crashing down around me and I still have a third of it to go! And worse than that, I feel so ashamed. I truly don’t know why because I would NEVER judge another woman for having GD, but when it comes to myself I feel like I have let my baby down and caused them harm through my bad decision. I keep thinking if only I had eaten less pasta or bread this wouldn’t have happened.
Sorry for moaning. I just feel so low and sad. I want to snap out of this and enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy but I can’t stop crying.
