[QUOTE="Em1981, post: 1457152, member: 399145"] I had gestational diabetes with my little boy. I got to the stage where I couldn't have anything without my sugars shooting up. I was really good and didn't gain a lot of weight, in fact I put on 7lbs in pregnancy but as my baby was 7lb 10, I felt skinny once I had given birth. I would have some carbs, depriving yourself isn't going to help at this stage, my nurse advised everything in moderation and upped the insulin instead. Once your baby is here and the placenta is out your sugars should return to normal very quickly. The main risk is to your little one. My baby was born by emergency c section, (not diabetes related) but he wouldn't feed and was very tired. Within 8 hours he was rushed to NICU as his sugars had crashed and he wasn't strong enough to feed. He is absolutely fine now but I would urge you to make sure your baby is fed straight away and then every few hours even if they are sleepy. If you are even a bit worried get the nurses to check his/her sugar. And good luck. Hopefully it will all be fine x [/QUOTE]
