how does GD affect labor
Hi ladies, ftm abd I was told I failed the glucose test but I asked my dr about it but she didn't say I have GD just that I failed. My question is how does that affect L&D.

Far as I know it doesn't. It can cause baby to be large if you don't follow your gd diet.

After delivery your baby's blood glucose will be closely monitored because they can have a sudden drop after birth and that may need to be stabilized. The better you control your levels the less likely your baby will have an issue after birth.

Yes I had it with my first, follow the diet bc your baby can be bigger than normal which can cause c section. Also, the baby and your blood sugar will be checked after baby is born and your blood sugar will be checked throughout labor.. You may need insulin during labor... I needed one dose and if you don't follow the diet you will need insulin for the rest of your pregnancy ( I didn't thankfully) good luck!
