I had gestational diabetes during my first pregnancy. I was monitored more closely, but labor was normal and without complications. The baby was just a little bigger than average.

I also had gestational diabetes with my second child. I had to induce labor at 39 weeks because of it. Everything went well.

I was diagnosed, but I didn't really stick to the diet, and everything was fine. There was a girl in the maternity ward who had a very large baby; it was tough, of course, but it seemed like there was nothing critical. After birth, the babies' sugar levels were checked twice to rule out complications. It seems like 5 🤔 women who gave birth with me had GSD, and all their babies are fine. But of course, it's better to monitor the situation and listen to the doctors. This diagnosis is often given now, and in half of the cases, it's just to be extra cautious.

3 children, pregnant, 12 weeks

Kuma had gestational diabetes with all three of her children. The only complication was that she had issues with glucose tolerance after birth and has avoided sweets ever since, even after her first GSD. She delivered all three vaginally. She didn't have severe swelling, thanks to her diet.

I had GD in my last pregnancy. I struggled with the diet, so I had to use insulin. Around 37 weeks, I was admitted to the hospital because my blood pressure started acting up and I had uterine contractions. The head doctor there said that with GD, you need to deliver between 38-39 weeks. So, they had to induce labor. Everything was going okay, but I couldn't deliver vaginally, and I ended up having an emergency C-section. The baby had hypoxia. But overall, everything is fine... My daughter was born healthy. I stopped my insulin and diet right away.

I had gestational diabetes with my third son. By the third trimester, my sugar levels were back to normal each time.
But my blood pressure started to fluctuate, rising to 150.
I had a C-section at 39 weeks and 2 days. After birth, my glucose and my son's glucose were normal.
Or what kind of complications during labor do you mean?

I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes early in my pregnancy. My sugar levels were always high with morning sickness, but once that passed, my sugar levels went down. However, they kept the gestational diabetes diagnosis. My daughter was born small. There was a girl in the room with me who had high sugar levels before delivery and gave birth to a big baby girl, weighing 4850g. I don't know if it's related.
