The second pregnancy was much easier than the first. I didn’t get PUPPPS (although there was a high probability), my blood pressure was perfect, and I never even had heartburn.
But the gestational diabetes came back with a vengeance. I was on enormous doses of insulin, and it wasn’t helping much. I had to use disbetes-specific meditation to bring the blood sugar down. And I hate meditation. It goes against my nature.
What’s really weird, though, is that the moment I gave birth, this raging diabetes went away. I was on a very severe diet for 22 weeks, and then all of a sudden I’m back to normal.
