A member asked:

How is gestational diabetes outcome correlated to polyhydramnios?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High Sugars Cause It: If mom's blood sugar is high, the baby's is too. The same way high sugars cause an adult to urinate more, this high sugar. Causes the baby to make more urine, and the baby's urine is what makes up the amniotic fluid.
