gestational diabetes

[preg28]

So I was just diagnosed with gestational diabetes and I'm freaked out. I know that it is manageable and can be treated. I am just worried about any major long term effects on the baby? Does anyone know if this will adversely affect the baby?

Thank you all for the positive comments! It makes me feel better, I just didnt have it with my first so I worry

I was diagnosed at 28 weeks with GD. My doc has had me monitor my blood 4x a day and eat healthy. I still get to eat things I want but I don't over do it. I was really upset at first but honestly it's not a big deal if you keep it under control... My blood sugars are completely normal and my baby is perfectly healthy! Good luck to you

I had it with my last pregnancy. My daughter was 7lbs 7oz. 19 1/2". She was born good and healthy. Just make sure u eat correctly and maintain ur sugar levels. I haven't done any blood work for this pregnancy yet but I'm already preparing myself just in case

I have it and mine is managed by diet. Its not as bad as I thought. I just had to change a few things. I test 4 times a day. As long as you follow the drs orders you'll be fine.

My doctor said having a large baby, complications with giving natural birth due to size. I am controlling it with diet and insulin. Stay positive :)

Well I've been measuring big all through pregnancy so they've made me do the one hour test 3 times and I failed the 3rd so I just did the 3 hour and had 2 abnormal so I was positive- I talk to a dietician Monday to make diet changes- just hoping no long term affect s

I am going through same thing,they find out today it was 300 and they had to admitted me at the hospital and try to control it,like 30mns ago when they checked it again it went down to 114 but after make me fasting the all day,so now the only option i have is to follow all the instructions and change my diet so me and my baby we can be healthy and safe.
