GD second pregnancy

Just wondering if anyone had GD in your first pregnancy and in the second or subsequent ones you didn’t? I had a very late diagnosis and now I’m terrified of having it in my next pregnancy because this dieting and monitoring is seriously stressing me out, I just don’t want to go through this again 😞

Was you on any medication

Mine was opposite. No GD with first. GD with the second. It's where the placenta decided to place itself and also your partner's DNA contribution. 🫂 Good luck... I'm stressed out too... And it's causing blood pressure concerns on top of the GD.

I had gdm with all 3 pregnancies.

@Kenya no medication

I had GD my first ended up on insulin towards the end. I do not have it in this pregnancy. So there is definitely hope

@Simone thank you so much for this, that gives me hope. Did you do anything different this pregnancy?

No not really if anything I was worse with my diet and stuff pre glucose test because I was making the most of it thinking I was going to be diagnosed again. I may have exercised more this time. But not a huge amount. Unfortunately I think it’s just luck as it depends mostly on the placenta itself.

I didn’t have it with my second pregnancy.

@Christina thank you for replying. And as above, did you do anything different this pregnancy?x

I had GD with my first and was diet controlled, no GD with my second 😊 x

I got it with both x
