can gestational diabetes effect anything other than a big baby and them possibly getting low sugar later? just curious cause people keep saying it can make them immature and I was wondering in what sense..
eating proteins will help the low blood sugars...they always ask if im eating protiens...last dr visit i mention a few lows and she asked am i making sure i have a protien with my snack lol and eat healthy snacks...also fruits have a lot of natural sugars that can spike up your blood sugars so limit how much you eat...I love fruits but can only have so much with lunch and dinner...I'm on insulin it can be scary at first but it's not that bad. @fleajohnson
yeah I'm sure they will. my sugar goes high then super low. I bet they will put me on the medicine to be safe. but so far my baby has measured exactly right and everything has seemed perfectly healthy. praying it all stays that way. @eskawho
when blood sugars get dangerously low seizures can happen...but they will most likely check baby more than normal when someone has diabetes or gestational diabetes. during labor they check you often to make sure your good.. my sister also has diabetes and said they checked her every hour. @fleajohnson
my Dr said same except the seizure thing I hadn't heard of. that's new and scary @eskawho
well that's good news! glad everything ended up good for you and your baby. I'm praying same for me and my son @adrii2280
no. they said she will be fine. they checked her sugar a cooler more times while we were in the hospital and they were good so they aren't worried
I have diabetes, my Dr said yes I can have a bigger baby and if my sugars are out of control and high during birth it can cause complications for the baby including low blood sugar and seizures because with you having high sugars the baby will produce that extra insulin and after they cut that cord that sugar no longer goes to baby even tho the baby may still produce more insulin. so far my sugars have been in control and my baby is normal range for weight...they will induce me at 39 weeks.
I had gestational diabetes. and I had my baby Tuesday at 38 weeks exactly. they checked my blood sugars the whole time I was in Lahore and they were not high at all and my baby still had a low blood sugar when she was born but she was not big. she weighed 6 lbs 15 oz
and thanks @goldenboobies, I haven't really gained anywhere but my belly and so far he measures right on track so maybe it hasn't effected us yet.
I'm trying. I think I'll need the medicine though because it goes up high then shoots down real low. its hard to balance. but I'm slowly getting the hang of it I think lol @sking092192
@fleajohnson, I agree with @goldenboobies, As long as you keep your sugar under control everything should be fine though:)
I've asked but she only told me a few things cause they stay so busy they don't have time for too many questions. its awful.
But I don't trust everything I read on the Internet. so I'd suggest asking your doc.
well my Dr said it can cause their lungs to develop slower and possible low sugar but my aunt was a labor and delivery nurse and she said something about them being immature and I have no clue what she meant. it sounded scary but also didn't sound accurate either. @sking092192
I've heard it can cause preterm labor
I've never heard that, I've just heard it can make you both gain weight and such

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

so yes ima go hard in the comments bec...
I find it pretty hilarious how people who have shown their true colors on social media snake away, delete the posts that outed them and come back on social media like nothing happened. Why do that, you outed yourself, so stay out. We still see you boo boo...
well so far mine bounces high and low so I just need to find that balance. maybe add protein to not be so high and something that makes me not go too low on sugar.
