Help docs, is gestational diabetes bad for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Anyone with gestational diabetes is at somewhat higher risk with a pregnancy for both difficulty in maintaining control & some risks for the baby. With close monitoring by your health care team you should be able to have a healthy baby.With poor control, the babies are more at risk for needing time on IV glucose after delivery but i seldom see more worrisome complications.
