Women with gestational diabetes can often deliver healthy babies with proper care and management. The key points to understand include:
-
Monitoring and Control: Keeping blood sugar levels within the target range through diet, exercise, and sometimes medication is crucial.
-
Regular Prenatal Care: Frequent check-ups help monitor the baby's growth and detect any potential complications early.
-
Potential Risks: Without proper management, gestational diabetes can increase risks like larger baby size, preterm birth, or low blood sugar in the newborn.
-
Positive Outcomes: With good control and medical support, most women with gestational diabetes have healthy pregnancies and babies.
If you have gestational diabetes, working closely with your healthcare provider can help ensure the best outcomes for you and your baby.
