"Oh my God, you ate a cookie, you are such an irresponsible mother."
"You need to take insulin. It's just a shot, why are you taking it so hard?!"
"What a bad mother you are. You can't even stay on a diet."
These are some of the phrases that many pregnant moms hear themselves saying after being diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
This disease makes you feel guilty and experience a sense of shame that leads you to isolate yourself in one of the most fragile moments of your life.
Worrying about your baby's health right away and being afraid that he or she might be born with a few extra pounds or might develop diabetes when they are older is understandable, but instead thinking that you are the cause of this disorder is wrong.
Eating loads of sweets, sugary food, or junk is NOT what 'causes' GD and an even bigger surprise may be to hear that ANY pregnant woman can get it!
