Oh, dude — I hope you’re reading these comments and realizing that you are TOO hard on yourself. ONE Crazy Pregnant Lady token? Pshaw! I’d say it’s at least one per trimester… and depending on the circumstances (say, the Freakin’ Diabetus, or a husband who works Too Dang Much) it can be increased at will to one per week. Truly. Cut yourself some slack!

I have no help with the carb issues, but can only say that if I were in your shoes? There would be many CPL tokens being cashed in around here.

Didn’t anyone tell you? After week 30 you get an unlimited supply (at least from your loyal readers who will always listen to you)! Don’t feel bad, that’s what OBs are for. We pay them enough, for f***’s sake, make them earn every penny!

Gestational Diabetes is rough…I had it 3 times. The medication does help. But you HAVE to eat…just make sure to balance it and stick with what your doctor says you should do. Don’t get frustrated by it..the sugar will change as the baby grows, it’s not your fault, it just happens.

And as far as tolkens are concerned, you get as many as you need!!

Despite your frustration, I had to laugh! I think I called my midwife more on my last pregnancy than all my others combined. Continual worries. For no reason. Pregnancy is something you never become a pro at!

I agree with Kristen and Catnip… what is this ‘one token’ business? You get more tokens! I’m glad everything is okay. Go eat something.

Oh, babe. I know. That last trimester sucks so bad. Actually, so do the first two.

I had gestational diabetes too, although I ended up on insulin. Lots of it. And it so sucks that, during the one time in your life when you’re supposed to be able to eat whatever you want, you instead count carbs like a hawk.

You get as many tokens as you need!

ps. I thought it was understood that you’re brilliant. My bad for not saying first.
