Hey, Mama! 👋

I’m Sara, a labor & delivery nurse for over 6 years, a high-risk OB nurse, and a GDM expert. As a mom of two boys just 15 months apart, I know firsthand how overwhelming pregnancy can feel—especially when managing blood sugar.

I started GDM Nurse because I saw too many mamas blindsided by a GDM diagnosis—left confused, overwhelmed, and without real support. As a nurse, I’ve seen how unmanaged GDM can lead to stressful inductions, difficult births, and unexpected NICU stays. But I also see firsthand the lack of support and resources GDM mamas have after their diagnosis—how they don’t get answers to their questions and how GDM impacts their health outcomes in future pregnancies. No one really prepares you for what happens next, and that didn’t sit right with me.

That’s why I’m here—to give you evidence-based tips, support, birth prep, blood sugar hacks, realistic meal prep ideas, and resources so you can have a healthy pregnancy and a smooth birth. You don’t have to do this alone—I’ve got you! 💛

Let’s make GDM stress-free, together! ✨
