Theme B support
Participants unanimously identified psychological support
as very important in helping and encouraging them
to master the everyday tasks of GDM self-management.
This support had the effect of making the woman feel
less isolated in her undertaking. Margaret explains:
Well I think I could, I probably could do it on my
own but having that support base, having someone kind of do it with you . . . makes you feel you’re not
alone doing it. . .Margaret
