Gestational Diabetes

Advice Please!!!!!!


Im currently 14 weeks 4 days pregnant. I have a 3 yr old while pregnant i was Dx with GD. She was born healthy weight 6lbs even and was 17 inches. Ive had complications with my pregnancy due to having incompetent cervix. For this pregnancy ive have been going to see Dr more often because i had my cerclage placed early. They completed a scan at 13 weeks 6 days said they would do a scan because they needed to make sure anatomy was good MFM would require. They said bladder was there heart beat was 154, because of the position said they couldnt see the back of the head or the nasal cavity but from what MFM seen it looked normal. I hd my pre-anesthesia work done and i got my results today and seems my sugar came out a bit high 141. Could this be possible gestational diabetes early on? Im scared my sugar has been high all this time and my baby can have complications. I feel im having an anxiety attack. Has anyone had a healthy baby if diabetes has vern Dx early on in the pregnancy?

  • Were you fasting for that blood work? No reason to panic! From my understanding, the biggest problem is baby growing too big and regulating sugar after birth if it isn't managed. However, they normally don't even test until later unless discovered through a routine test like this. I was tested early with my first pregnancy due to a higher reading on initial blood tests. If you haven't already just call/message into your OB. Again, don't panic! If it would make you feel better just start eating a lower-carb diet until you hear back! Meals 2-3 carb servings and snacks 1-2 carb servings and pair your carbs with protein. Hope this helps!

    Thank you for your response. I cant remeber if i was fasting or not. It was taken randomly because i needed blood work for a procedure i needed done. Im just concern that i had it before and that it could cause birth defects on my baby. I did have a scan done at 12 weeks 6 days. Dr needed to make sure baby looked okay in order to grt procedure done she said it was fine. Just coulsnt see nasal cavity or spine because of the way baby was position but mentioned she didnt see any thicking in what she could see. My maternity21T everything came out normal. Im just so worried. Ive even lost my appetite and anxiety is up the roof.
  • Okay! If it was later in the day then you probably had already eaten so that could still be fairly normal depending on when you last ate and what it was. Again, I'd just call the OB office to see their thoughts!
