GD and Preterm

So, I know GD puts us at risk of preterm. But how much greater a risk? Anyone got links to research/evidence-based articles? Just like to educate myself a bit more.

    I am with you in the GD catergory.  I was looking at the ADA website, what to expect website, and also some EVB through CINAHL and other medical search engines.

    Bottom line.. what I am seeing is if you are GD that is controlled and have other issues, you probably will carry to term.  If your GD is uncontrolled or you any additional issues, PIH/obesity/advanced age will increase your chances of preterm.

    As long as your GD is controlled (by diet or meds) you should be able to go close to 40 weeks.  It really depends on your doctor.  With my last pregnancy the plan was to induce at 39 weeks and I was fine with that.  I developed pre-e at 36 weeks though and was induced at 37w.  From what I understand (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) you aren't at risk for pre-term labor with GD just that you will likely be induced around 38-39 weeks due to the breakdown of the placenta and baby not getting adequate nutrition.
