Mothers with gestational diabetes often require careful monitoring during pregnancy. While gestational diabetes doesn't always lead to early delivery, it can increase the risk of complications that might prompt healthcare providers to recommend delivering the baby earlier than the due date.
Key Points:
- Monitoring: Regular check-ups and blood sugar control are crucial for the health of both mother and baby.
- Delivery Timing: If blood sugar is poorly controlled or there are concerns about the baby's size or health, doctors may suggest inducing labor or planning a cesarean section before 40 weeks.
- Individualized Care: The timing of delivery depends on diabetes management and the overall health of mother and baby.
Work closely with your healthcare team to ensure the best outcomes for you and your baby. They will guide you on the best time for delivery based on your specific situation.

I've been waiting for six days now and still no period. I did a pregnancy test, but it came back negative. I'm really confused about what's going on. Could there be other reasons for my period being this late?

I'm wondering about a follicle size that's 30x30mm with a small amount of free fluid on the 16th day does that mean it's a follicle or could it be a cyst? I've been on CCQ medication, and my periods have always been regular, so I haven't had PCOD or cyst issues before. Has anyone had a similar experience and conceived successfully with these numbers?
-A 30x30mm follicle size on day 16 is quite large, but it could still be a mature follicle ready to ovulate, especially with minimal free fluid. It's unlikely to be a cyst unless it's irregular in shape or causing symptoms. Since you're on CCQ medication
