Gestational Diabetes and Diet
I have GD, I was borderline with my GTT (just one or two points over on two tests) so I was diagnosed .. I follow my diet strictly and never slip up at all. Not even think about it. This is since week 29 or 30 and I am now at 36 weeks and 1 day. My baby shower was today and I had a piece of cake. Did anyone else do this? I also ate some turkey stuffing, and a cheesecake cupcake. This is all I ate that had any carbs, though. I'm scared something will happen to the baby now! Anyone else deal with this?

Nah, you’re fine. One day off the wagon isn’t enough to significantly affect the baby’s weight gain. As long as you don’t make a habit of it you’re fine.
Also, cheesecake doesn’t send my blood sugars up. I think there’s so much fat in it as well as some protein!
I had a piece of cake at my shower, too. Don’t worry, it won’t be too long before the baby is born and you can relax about food.
