Gestational diabetes

What is gestational diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. Diabetes means your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Too much glucose in your blood is not good for you or your baby.

Gestational diabetes is usually diagnosed in the 24th to 28th week of pregnancy. Managing your gestational diabetes can help you and your baby stay healthy. You can protect your own and your baby’s health by taking action right away to manage your blood glucose levels.

How can gestational diabetes affect my baby?
High blood glucose levels during pregnancy can cause problems for your baby, such as

being born too early
weighing too much, which can make delivery difficult and injure your baby
having low blood glucose, also called hypoglycemia, right after birth
having breathing problems
High blood glucose also can increase the chance that you will have a miscarriage or a stillborn baby.1 Stillborn means the baby dies in the womb during the second half of pregnancy.

Your baby also will be more likely to become overweight and develop type 2 diabetes as he or she gets older.

How can can I be affected?

If you have gestational diabetes, you are more likely to develop preeclampsia, which is when you develop high blood pressure and too much protein in your urine during the second half of pregnancy, read more here...[url][/url]https://thebestpicks.website/gestational-diabetes/[url][/url]
