Indeed, gestational diabetes is an uncommon situation during pregnancy when placenta produces some substances that make mother's insulin not to work properly. Usually, this might happen at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy, so there is no worry for baby malformation.
After giving birth you'll not worry to have diabetes again, but there is a risk for you to have it later in future. That's why you should care a lot.
Actually, mother's pancreas produces insulin correctly, but somehow this insulin cannot work properly. This leads to increased blood sugar level, and you may have all the signs and symptoms of high blood sugar level, such as
- being most of the time thirsty, and this leads to increased urine frequency
- at the same time you're feeling hungry, but still have weight loss
- Frequent uro-genital [bladder, vagina] and skin infection, and so on.
Not all the pregnant women can face the gestational diabetes problems. If somehow, you're facing them, keep in mind that they're not life threatening. They recall your attention of what you're eating or doing, but are not harmful for you.
On the other hand, what your baby will face is the problem of overweight that will lead to a cesarean birth.
One common problem that your baby will face after birth is hypoglycemia. The medical team will take care of it.
Anyway, you should care of high blood sugar level and keeping it at normal range. How can you do this?
As a diabetic mother you should care of what you're eating. Try to follow the most recommended diet for gestational diabetes. That will help you in lowering blood sugar level. You should do a lot of exercise too, such as yoga, walking in fresh air.
You have your body under your responsibility. Don't throw away the opportunity to be a good mother, even if your child is still inside you, and you cannot see. What you eat, what lifestyle you follow can determine how healthy your baby will be.
I'm not talking here about the excessive weigh he/she might have. I'm talking about how much good health he/she will have.
