So I'm 12 weeks pregnant and they diagnosed me with gestational diabetes and I go Thursday to see what kind. Is this gonna harm the baby? I'm just really scared that I'll have it really early or something go wrong. This is my first pregnancy.



Yes if they look to big c section. And won't have much room to move i also have 2 utreses
@shelbiw91, oh lord girl your having so much at once. Is that a possibility with us having diabetes?
@shelbiw91, hopefully everything goes good for the both of us
@shelbiw91, I don't know how high mine was they didn't say so I took it that it wasn't to bad.
@shelbiw91, is that the only thing that it mainly causes is a big baby?
@shelbiw91, omg so you have it bad? I find out Thursday how bad mine is.
@shelbiw91, really? How are you dealing with it and how far along are you?
@danielleandco, I will thank you for your advice :)
Don't be too scared honestly stick to what the dietician says and you'll be fine! I had it and Carson was born normal sized! Watch carb intake but don't cut them out baby needs carbs to grow
@mommysbabies, hopefully everything goes good. Thank you so much!
@shellbell0391, yeah I read that online and that seemed to be the biggest I just didn't know what else so I decided I would ask. Thank you!
Yeah my friend went full term too and her daughter wasn't even big
You just have to watch your sugar and carb intake. Gestational diabetes can lead to a bigger than normal baby which can lead to complications during delivery. There are some other risks but i think thats the biggest one
@mommysbabies, okay thanks! He doesn't seem to concerned about it. My mom had it with my brother she said it runs in the family and she went full term with him and he was fine.
Just stick to what dr says and baby will be fine you may have a bigger baby just eat healthy and stay way from soda
@olivia113, what did your doctor tell you?
