Pros

Lily nichols' book makes the case for why lower carb makes sense and is safe in pregnancy. This is my second pregnancy with gestational diabetes and i read this book before getting diagnosed. I was described as the picture of health at each nst, did n... Read More

If you have been diagnosed with gd or even failed the first 1hr test, get this book. I was diagnosed at 32 weeks and am so so thankful that i did.

Quality

My levels were excellent with the diet

So much more helpful than the 15 minute appointment with the dietician my midwifes practice referred me to

I am a self employed midwife in nz and am shocked at the dietary advice given to women newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes

Never felt satisfied with the food i ate and was hungry all the time

Shipping

Competitiveness

By day 4 postpartum i was back in my prepregnancy clothes and at my prepregnancy weight had baby at 36w

I did have a scheduled csection but that was due to a previous birth complication and my infant’s breech position not my health
