Pcos and pregnancy

[MelissaRose23]

Hey ladies! I'm about 8 weeks pregnant and have pcos.  Anyone else have any advice or stories they can share about  your experience with pcos and pregnancy?

I have pcos and no you will not be considered high risk unless there's other things going on.  You are however at a greater risk of gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia so watch what you eat and exercise if you can.  Good luck.

I have pcos and pregnant with my 2nd. I am not considered high risk. I don't have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or anything. Just overweight. I will ask my midwife next appointment about the high risk.

I thought I would be considered a high risk pregnancy but he didn't say anything I've been meaning to call and see if I need to keep my regular appointment to have my insulin checked or if they checked it at my first prenatal appointment but in the ultrasound the baby looked good right size and heartbeat was good have u had an ultrasound yet

I believe it makes it a high risk pregnancy. Did you talk to your doctor about it Katie?
