Gestational Diabetes - Did you have it for more than one pregnancy?

[Marnikat]

I am nearly 30 weeks with my 2nd baby and I have it again. I was diagnosed at 24 weeks this pregnancy. I have now been on insulin for nearly two weeks now. I was last time too. However they think that mine is hormone issues cause my diet was fine but my levels weren't. It sucks, but you will get used to it again if it does happen I think though, your risk of getting it again is lower as you controlled by diet alone. Fingers crossed for you.

I had it with both pregnancies but I found it much much easier second time around because I'd been there and done it before. I controlled both with diet alone and I found that my caregivers were a lot more easygoing with me second time around because they knew I'd controlled it once so were less worried I guess. I have heard of women not having it with subsequent pregnancies though so it is definitely possible. Don't stress about it too much because that can affect your levels! good luck with it all xxx

Had it with DS1 (diet controlled) but to my pleasant surprise no, I didn't have GD with DS2.

I wondered this myself actually.
Good luck with your GTT. I hope you get some good results.
Crossing everything for you.
