My OB/GYN is going to give me Clomid in January to help me get pregnant. I'm super excited and super nervous. I have a lot of concerns.
I have type 2 diabetes. I know breakfast will be 15g of carbs, lunch 30g, and dinner 30g. But most sites I have read allow for a much higher amount of carbs. I'm struggling with what I'm going to eat! And I also know I have to have snacks to stabilize my blood sugar, but I'm not sure how many carbs I'm allowed. I do plan on asking my doctor for a referral to a nutritionist, but when I saw her originally, she refused to help with a meal plan. So I was wondering if anyone had any advice or references to help? I also am maintaining my bp and cholesterol, so I have to be careful with fats. I feel like I'm going to starve!
I also have mental health issues: depression, anxiety, and BPD. Any advice on how to cope with pregnancy and mental health would be appreciated! And if anyone has suffered from postpartum depression (my doctors say I have a high probability of it), how did you get through it?
This is a dream of mine to become a mother. I want to do right by my child (to the best of my ability) from day 1. And I'm more than willing to do everything knowing that I will be giving my child a healthy chance at life.
