My personal journey through gestational diabetes (GDM) in all 3 pregnancies taught me one thing:
small consistent habits can transform your health more than strict diets ever will.
In my first 2 pregnancies, I relied heavily on insulin and struggled with cravings, stress, and inconsistent meals. I worked till the end of pregnancy, stayed active, and followed simple routines that kept my sugars stable and my mind calm.
To every mother managing gestational diabetes:
💪 You are stronger than you think.
💪 Your body is capable.
💪 Your pregnancy can still be joyful, peaceful, and healthy.
You’re not alone. And you can do this. 🤍
