What do you do when your pregnancy doesn't go exactly to plan?

In today's episode, my client Christina shares her experience after being diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. You'll hear:

  • The thing that shocked her the most when she got diagnosed
  • What she started eating with GD
  • Her pregnancy expectations vs. reality
  • How she advocated for herself
  • Why reaching out to others is essential

Getting diagnosed with GD as a vegan mom-to-be can feel overwhelming and frustrating. You're not alone.

About Christina:

"I'm your average vegan for the animals. I'm 39 and pregnant. I have a loving family but am the only vegan. My husband and I have two dogs and a cat and live in Arlington, MA."
