A few questions for those with GD or Type II

in High-Risk Pregnancy

Hi there. I posted a few times when I was pregnant (I had GD). I have a few questions now.

1. For those of you who have had more than one pregnancy, did you have GD for all of your pregnancies?

2. If you had GD and were tested for Type II after your pregnancy, what was your outcome of the diabetes test?

3. If you have Type II diabetes, did you have to plan your pregnancy or have to do anything specific when you were TTC?

4. If you have Type II diabetes, what kind of health concerns do you and your baby have?

 

Thank you for your input!

    This is my second pregnancy, and I have had GD with both. I was tested after my first pregnancy and did not have type 2. This time, I was diagnosed at 20 weeks.

    I have a friend who had GD with her first. No type 2 inbetween pregnancies. She barely passed her 3 hour with this past pregnancies and regretted not acting as if she had GD. DS was 10 lbs 2 oz!

    1 - Yes, had it in both pregnancies. Diagnosed at 28w with #1, 13w with #2.

    2 - Passed with flying colors 6 weeks PP after #1. With #2 I wasn't tested until 1 year PP, and I was on the high side of normal. I have a family history of Type II and need to lose about 50lbs to be at an ideal weight, so I am tested every year since I am at risk.

    I get tested on Jan 8th. I also have family history with Type II, but I haven't been told to lose any weight...I just hope my years of eating junk food don't come to haunt me. I'm doing better by eating a little healthier, it's just really hard to eat healthy after so many years of junk. :(

    I had GD with both pregnancies (diet-controlled only, no meds).  

    Dx with DS1 at 29w... tested at 9 weeks with DS2- passed... tested again at 27w and failed.

    No diabetes in between (tested at 6w pp after both boys)- passed totally after DS1 and passed after DS2 but failed ONE of the THREE draws- so they want me retested in a few years.
