    After DD1, my numbers took a day to stabilize, but I was allowed to eat normally by breakfast time (delivered just after 1 AM). After DD2 they only tested me once, shortly after delivery, and it was in the 80's so they let me eat as usual.

    I ate a cheeseburger, fries and a snickers bar within hours after delivery and my numbers were fine.  I was on insulin with him.  once you deliver the placenta you should be fine.

    I have not had it before this(my 3rd pg) but was told I would not be tested after delivery until a month after. Then I would have the 1 hour glucose tolerance test to make sure it resolved. I was told I could return to normal eatin immediately.

    My numbers were wonky for a day or two- so they had me on the GD hospital food for breakfast but by lunch they said for me to eat normally and the numbers would eventually stabilize.  I was cleared by discharge the next day.  Took the 2 hour test at 6 weeks and passed.... GL!

    When I had my son, we were both tested in the hospital and our blood sugar was normal as soon as he was born.

    When I had DD, I started eating normally (well, binging on carbs, actually) right after she was born.  I don't remember actually checking my blood sugar after labor started...

     The hospital checked DD's blood sugar the first four times before she nursed. 

    At 6 weeks, I had a one hour test and it was normal.
