Hi there,Congratulations on the pregnancy. There are a few things which have to be kept in mind in women who have PCs and have got pregnant. They have a slightly increased chance of miscarriage and have to be cautious in the first three months of pregnancy. You should continue gluconate, Folic acid. The gluconate will help control glucose intolerance and may helps prevent diabetes in pregnancy, which is more likely in women with PCs. Also since you have a family history of diabetes this should make you check for diabetes at 24 weeks of pregnancy and if detected diet, and insulin may be required. Do not get stressed, eat healthy food and go for regular checks to the gynecologist. Avoid putting on excess weight as that can also lead to diabetes. Hope this helps. Regards.
