Tired and exhausted

Am I the only one feeling this way. I am tired and exhausted. I am crying now, somehow I can’t stop crying. I am 32 weeks pregnant and have gestational diabetes. I need to go to office and my body feel exhausted everyday. Today my diabetes nurse called me regarding my readings. She told me I must reduce my food intake. I told her there is an 8 hour gap between my meals so I need extra snacks, all I ate in that time window was few cashew nuts , an apple and 2 thin biscuits. She flatly said I can just eat an apple and that’s it. She talked to me as if I am not not taking care of my baby. It was really sad for me. I am eating the same foods everyday as there are only few things that controls my sugar level. I am hungry every evening after work and travel still I don’t eat anything extra so my sugar levels will be under control. Also go for walks as my doctor said so that my sugar levels can be controlled. I feel tired everyday. After all this to be scolded and listen to her saying that I am eating too much is hard for me. Please don’t judge me, I just wanted to talk to someone, because I can’t stop crying. I believe there will be more people who experience worse here and be able to talk to me.

throughout my whole journey, what ive learned is that.. no one knows us, better than ourselves. i know they are the professionals and they too want us to take care of ourselves in the best way possible, but at times we've done all that we could yet the results dont show. my two cents of thoughts, dont be too harsh on yourself and dont take their words to heart. for all that youve done, youre already doing your best for yourself and your baby. take some time off your daily schedule and have a good rest, do something you enjoy and put yourself first. i pray you will be given the strength to get through it all 💪🏻✨ you've got this mummy! sending virtual hugs and positive energy 💖
