BIRTH STORY | Kitty. One pregnancy. Gestational diabetes. Caesarean Section.

This episode is all about Kitty's journey with gestational diabetes and the birth of her first bub - I know we all love the birth stories and you'll LOVE hearing from Kitty!

Kitty was so much fun to work with as a client.
She faced heaps of challenges in her gestational diabetes journey, most notably living in a very rural part of Australia (meaning limited and EXPENSIVE food supplies), long days on the road, a hectic full time job and a very full social life.

She took it all in her stride, and always with the cheekiest smile.

My favourite win is the way we rewired her mindset around food - she went from feeling like so many foods were "naughty" and off-limites (especially with gestational diabetes), to understanding that her body needs way more fuel to thrive and that all foods can fit when you know how to balance them out.

If you're feeling stuck with gestational diabetes, thinking it's all just an up-hill battle, I hope Kitty's story gives you the confidence that this journey really can be a positive one, your diet doesn't have to be restrictive, and it can be a fantastic opportunity to learn more about nutrition while building skills to take with you for life.

*COACHING AVAILABLE* I offer 6 week coaching programs for women with gestational diabetes (and those postpartum) who want to feel confident in what they're eating, GOOD in their body, develop sustainable healthy habits and have the brain-space to actually enjoy their pregnancy, while achieving balanced blood sugar. DM me. Let's chat.
