To avoid gestational diabetes in pregnancy

                 Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar levels in pregnancy and goes away after pregnancy. 

Chances to get gestational diabetes in pregnancy are :

• overweight, high BP in previous history or family history.

• pcod

• too much weight gain during pregnancy 

• stress, tension, overthinking, lack of sleep during pregnancy.

• age above 25 who become pregnant.

• miscarriage in previous history.

• dehydration

• vitamin d deficiency

These may cause complications in baby's health and doctors prefer c - section .

      With pcod I got pregnancy so I strictly followed almost diabetic diet throughout pregnancy. 

GCT(Glucose Challenge Test)  done at 7th month . GCT should be < 140 mg/dl and I got 157. 

Fasting Plasma Glucose  & 2hrs Post Lunch Plasma Glucose tests are normal to me.

So GCT little bit variation. Doctor told me this is normal but should take care more and follow diabetic diet as I am following from beginning . Doctor adviced me to check daily or alternative days sugar test at home  and I reported for every three weeks. I checked before breakfast and after 1hour of lunch result should be < 140 . At starting three or four times I got above 140 so I observed that and corrected myself.

✓When I'm in tension or overthinking or stress my bp levels raising automatically sugar levels also raising.

✓When I eat fully, sugar level raising above 140.

✓After breakfast/lunch/dinner when I lay immediately on bed  sugar levels raising.

So I followed these things to avoid gestational diabetes ::

✓✓ Walking 10 mins slowly after breakfast, Lunch and dinner.

✓✓ Meditation

✓✓ Drinking alot of water 

✓✓ listening devotional songs or speeches

✓✓ Reading positive affirmations  in my notes. I wrote this to motivate myself. 

✓✓ Daily seeing sunrise and sunset and this refreshes me alot.

✓✓ Followed almost diabetic diet.

✓✓ Eating small small meals . I divided my meals I took small amounts.

✓✓ In pregnancy sleeping disturbances common so whenever I didn't get sleep I make a habbit of walking for 10 to 30 mins in room itself daily 2times during night.

✓✓ Daily weight checking . I gained only 13 kgs in pregnancy. 

✓✓ Talk to baby

    Great Information shared. Thanks for posting this article. Gestational diabetes in pregnancy can be treated by changing the daily habits. If it doesn't affects, then need to consult the gynaecologist at the Best IVF centre in Punjab.

My normal delivery experience

               When I came to know that I'm pregnant , that day itself I started to prepare for normal delivery. So I did meditation, walking, some exercises, diet , talk to baby, mantras, mudras.......                On August 16,2020; 39 weeks 6th day, contractions started lightly at 1am then I started walking slowly in room and slept for awhile. After 2:30am  I walked for 10 min and slept. Like this whenever I get discomfort , contractions I used to walk for 10 to 20 min and slept. This process repeated till 7 am. Walking when pains start gives us  fast delivery . At 8 am took breakfast . Also took 4 dates for fast delivery. Pain gradually increasing for every hour and I already tuned my mind that I have to face this beautiful experience happily and welcome my baby with smiling face.

Fight against pcod

                           Lets fight against pcod. Inorder to fight , first we have to understand the problem then analyse it.   Understanding pcod:                           First of all this is not a disease. Doctors can not say exact reason of getting pcod and there is no exact medicine to cure pcod. Then why all these Metformin , clomid , 21 days period tablets, progesterone  etc .Whats all these stuff we are  taking and facing again on getting another side effects. Why this is staying in our body .. what resources we are giving to pcod and helping to stay in our body happily. What challenges pcod giving us... Lets think.                       Today many women after puberty facing this problem.. I got at the age 20.
