First and foremost, congratulations on your pregnancy! Secondly, you sound like you have a lot on your plate! Thirdly, take a deep breathe it does appear to be; however, this could be a blessing in disguise, let me explain....
Last year, at this same tie of year, I was pregnant with our third child and attending school full time... and, had GD. I felt alone, scared and most definitely overwhelmed. However, even though I was pregnant, I was overweight as well and eating extremely in healthy. I did not have this with my other two pregnancies.
I when in for my appointment to have my diet changed and check my blood sugar 3 times a day. That appointment was horrible by myself; however, shook me to my core that if I did not do exactly as I was told that this could great jeopardize my baby's health. Also, I had to go to the hospital twice a week to be monitored and keep a food journal.
I went for my testing, regular doctor appointments and check my blood sugar readings regularly with oral medicine that I let the doctor know I was having terrible keeping it in the range eventhough I was doing everything I could --- I was pleased to find out I was doing well and actually losing weight.
Upon having a health baby boy of 9 lbs 7oz 22 inches long (I am only 5'1") I had lost weight! It went away after giving birth; however, I remained on the diet plan; and once my son was two months old... I had lost 80 lbs!!! So, now I am healthy and looking great! I still remain on the diet today and exercise regularly.
I say that my birth son saved me life and I am giving a better me to all three of my sons now. He is my angel!
