I failed my 1hr GLT yesterday, and my midwife has told me I have about a 50/50 chance of having gestational diabetes based on the outcome of that test. So I have to go back and do the big 3hr test to be sure.
I know a fair bit about management and treatment of diabetes. But I don't know a great deal specifically about gestational diabetes. In particular I would like information about any genuine increase risks during birth for bubs or myself.

I know that a big baby is a risk, but I have had a 10lb bub before (without gestational diabetes) so I'm not concerned about my bodies ability to birth a big baby at all, so wouldn't be going along with induction or any intervention for reason of size alone.

I just want to educate myself, so I'm not caught completely off guard IF this next test does come back positive an I have to start discussing 'options' with my midwife (and likely a hospital appointed ob if it turns out I do have GD). I want to be educated, not just reliant on what I am being told.
