I could text her anytime with a question.” If a number was high, we would investigate and figure out the cause,” Jenna said. “Jenny was always understanding with pregnancy, cravings and making adjustments. She made me feel confident about everything,” said Jenna, who also appreciated Jenny’s realistic approach when she would check in weekly with her updated blood sugar numbers. “Jenny was so nice and explained everything so well. Willis, APRN, a nurse practitioner with Norton Children’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine, went above and beyond, with enthusiasm, patience and care, to explain Jenna’s new treatment plan during her pregnancy. “I was scared at first, because I was high-risk, and I feel like diabetes sometimes has a negative connotation, but they made me feel like everything was fine. “Everyone I met at the MFM office was great,” Jenna said. It was a stressful time, but the providers Jenna met immediately made her feel at ease. “My blood sugar level was always good, but my fasting numbers weren’t the best, so I was referred to Norton Children’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine” to consult with a maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist, she said.Īn MFM physician is an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) who specializes in high-risk pregnancy. This time, however, her numbers were slightly elevated. When her obstetrics provider ordered a glucose test when she was 15 weeks pregnant, she assumed she would pass with flying colors, as she had done before. Jenna was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in 2021, while pregnant with her second child. “They gave me the tools, and I used them and was pretty successful.” “They always put a positive spin on everything and cheered me on, telling me I was doing great and everything was going to be fine,” Jenna said. The practice’s maternal-fetal medicine specialists, part of Norton Women’s Care, helped her feel empowered. Even though a gestational diabetes diagnosis felt scary at the time, for Jenna Wilson, support from Norton Children’s Maternal-Fetal Medicine made her high-risk pregnancy much less intimidating.
