I was gestational diabetic with my daughter and she was born fine. I had her at 39 weeks and 5 days. She weighed 7lbs 14oz. I had no complications at all during my labor. I am now pregnant with my second and I am also gestational diabetic and I am 36 weeks and 5 days.

Another words no juice no fruit no bread nothing with high sugar I been on insulin since 12weeks and I hate it. I hate the diet everything I want and love to eat has been taking away . I went through this with my first baby as well and didn't have no problems she was born barely 9 lbs and had her vaginally this one sugar has been high and low like a roller coaster no matter what I do so Idk what will happen I'm currently 22weeks and ready for all this to be over. Just praying. i don't have a big big baby and no c section other than that its not the most horrible thing in thewworld

My son is adopted and his birth mom had gestational diabetes really bad but she did not regulate it like she was supposed to and she was induced 2 days after her due date. Baby was born 12 pounds. C section went fine and everything.

I have been insulin dependent since 20 weeks.

From what my diabetes clinic has explained to me making full term(40 weeks) is unlikely. I have been told diabetes can prematurely age the placenta causing the need for early birth. However I will be watching your post to see what others have to say.

What did the diet consists of

[alicodydom]

I had my son a day before his due date with gestational diabetes. I was diet controlled so did not have to take insulin or anything. My baby was normal weight 7 lb 5 oz. He did have a bowel movement while I was still in labor and so needed a pediatrician in the room when I delivered in case he inhaled or swallowed any of it but he was completely fine
