Can i get diabetes for the first time while pregnant?

Yes: Gestational diabetes is a common condition affecting about 5% of pregnant women. Patients are screened for this between 24-28 weeks by taking a glucose tolerance test. You drink a 50 g glucose drink followed by a blood test one hour later.
