Not necessarily.: Just because your dad and grandparents had heart disease and diabetes does not mean that you automatically have those illnesses although you may have the predisposition. If you eat healthy, exercise regularly, do not smoke or drink, make time to relax , and have regular physical check ups, you could avoid those illnesses.

No.: Your family history of heart disease and diabetes does not put you in a high risk pregnancy category. I don't think you need to be concerned about that.
