Pregnancy

Need words of encouragement

I really need some words of encouragement. I’ve just tested positive for pregnancy — this is my second pregnancy after going through two miscarriages (a blighted ovum and a chemical pregnancy), so my emotions are all over the place. On top of that, I’m managing Type 2 diabetes and taking Metformin 850 mg three times a day. Being in my first trimester is mentally exhausting. I’m constantly hungry, yet I have very little appetite. I’m also being very strict with my food choices because I’m afraid of causing a glucose spike. I’ve been eating clean and sticking to healthy snacks and meals, but it’s starting to feel so limiting and repetitive. I’m getting tired of the same foods, and it’s making everything feel even harder 😭
