I had it 6 years ago and was able to cut out bread, sugar/sweets, potatoes.
I have it again and need help with finding what I can eat. Any good websites or books that you know about? Experiences to share?

You shouldn’t be cutting out all carbs! A pregnant woman needs 4-6 serves per day. I found the only way I could keep it under control and still have adequate carbs was to have two slices of a multigrain Burgen brand bread with each meal. Everyone’s body is different though, so you may be able to eat other carbs, or you may have it worse this time and have to go on insulin. You ought to be referred to a diabetes educator and dietician for support. Ask your doctor/midwife about that.
