Same here. Baby #3 never had it with the 1st two. Don't really eat sweets with this baby, whereas the 1st & 2nd That's all I ate

Avoid sugars and foods high in carbs. I just got that same call a few weeks ago. Dr referred me to a diabetic educator. I met with her, set up a meal plan, check my sugar 4times a day and so far so good. As long as you try and stick with a healthy diet, things should be fine. Good luck!

They will send you to a high risk doctor measure the baby's weight... You will also have to see a dietitian they will put you on a meal plan. And you will have to monitor your sugar levels four times a day. I'm going through the same thing
