I have it to and this is my first pregnancy I'm 35 weeks and I go twice a week to monitor the babies heart rate he is doing just fine and is weighting in at 4 LBS the doctor will induce u if the baby brings on weight in the shoulder area and upper arms .. I still eat the same . I got it by not eating enough go figure .. I need to test five times a day. My baby is growing healthy and fine and measuring fine . Don't stress cause it adds to it .. good luck u will be just fine just balance out ur meals is the key ....
I had GD with my first. It affects the unborn more than mom. 85% of the time it goes away after birth. Just monitor your blood sugar up to 3 times a day. Your OB should let you know when to phone them if if it gets too high and won't go down.
Baby higher risk of being bigger. blood sugers can drop to fast after birth. it made me at risk for preterm labor as well. otherwise goes away after baby is born
