Diabetes in Pregnancy: Effect on Mother & Growing Baby | Gestational Diabetes

"Gestational Diabetes implies that the person is not already diabetic and at they have developed diabetes during pregnancy. Most people who develop diabetes in pregnancy are either having a family history of diabetes. So they are prone to diabetes because of their genetics or they tend to be overweight or have a bad diet, they are people who have Gestational Diabetes and are on diet control, that is just above the upper limits of normal for sugars and the tem during pregnancy and don’t do much else just to make sure the pregnancy stays normal for the mothers and babies put on weight and on most part they have very normal pregnancy and pregnancy to come in terms of delivery and so does the baby. There are people who have diet control, and become severely diabetic during pregnancy and need medication or insulin of varying degrees to control their sugars. In such mothers the tough parts controlling the diet, checking their sugars, taking medication and it is quite distressful for the despite that there will be issues in the growth of the baby when the mother is diabetic. We never try to pull the sugars to the normal when the mother is diabetic because we are worried about developing hypoglycemia, when the sugars drop to such a level that the mother’s life is at rest. So the tendency is to run a slightly high value and bigger baby means can lead to complicated delivery and its list of problems with regards to vacuum or forceps delivery and difficulty of the shoulders coming out and if they labor and baby is little too big and delivery is not happening, they have obstructed labor and cesarean and sometimes they may require a panned cesareans. So there is an interventional delivery for these mothers may be higher other mothers who have Gestational Diabetes in mothers who don’t work on their diet and exercise and don’t come back to fitness which was talking. If they do all that, they have a lifestyle change, where we concentrate on healthy food and exercise and bring back to the normal range, then most people can have normal life. If not there will be a percentage of them going into diabetes, so this is the warning of Gestational Diabetes that they need to look at their health and focus on their health, although immediately after delivery most mothers sugars will come back to normal. It is unlikely they will be diabetes. With regards to outcome to the babies, the babies will tend to be bigger and babies who become bigger in intrauterine stage that is during pregnancy, tend to become diabetics early in their life. So this is I feel strongly about ad it is so important for mothers to control their sugars to that they have a healthy starts. We are mothers who work so hard for children and we don’t want any evil to happen to them. So think about the long term of your child and work on the fitness, controlling sugars. Complicated delivery for the baby is the baby also bears the brunt of it and it is important to keep this in mind and to optimize sugar levels"
