Gestational diabetes

Anyone who had gestational diabetes with their first child but not with their second ? I was told if I had it with my first I most likely going to have it again.

Same thing happened to me was horrible, couldn’t eat or drink anything o wanted, and just have to keep going, had the worst labour too, and had to be induced, which you probably will have to be induced, just watch what your eating and drinking, but a second baby I’m not sure I wanted to know and some doctors said yes and some said not always just depends

Had gestational diabetes with my first 4 years ago and had 2 more babies since then and didn’t have it with either!

Had gestational diabetes with my first but not with my second, with your second you just need to be more aware and look out for what to eat and what to avoid and ofcurs more moving around😍

@Adele that’s so lucky

It’s best to monitor your sugars from second trimester itself. For my second pregnancy, I started monitoring my sugars myself and at 20 weeks requested GTT, which came back positive. Sometimes it doesn’t show that early and you can repeat it later at 28 weeks (or as per the protocol where you live).

@Paige I am praying I don’t have to through this again.
