Welcome to the Gestational Diabetes Nurse Podcast! I'm Sara, a high-risk OB nurse, labor and delivery nurse, and a proud mama of two boys. In this episode, I'm debunking common myths that hold us back from seeking the support we need during our GDM journeys. We dive deep into reasons like 'I can't afford it,' 'My blood sugars are fine,' 'It's just a few more weeks,' and so much more. I also introduce you to the GDM Mama membership, designed to offer individualized, nurse-led guidance to empower you through your pregnancy and beyond. Join today and transform your experience from overwhelmed to empowered. https://gdmnurse.com/  00:00 Welcome to the Gestational Diabetes Nurse Podcast 00:35 The Struggles of Seeking Support 01:02 Financial Concerns and Health Priorities 02:04 The Importance of Personalized Care 03:45 The Final Weeks of Pregnancy 04:19 Overcoming Overwhelm and Fatigue 04:45 Investing in Yourself 05:20 Introducing the GDM Mama Membership 05:56 Addressing Common Fears and Misconceptions 07:41 The Limitations of Generic Advice 08:16 The Importance of Being Informed 08:58 Postpartum and Long-Term Health 09:24 Final Thoughts and Encouragement 10:10 Closing Remarks and Membership Invitation Disclaimer: The information shared on The Gestational Diabetes Nurse Podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
