I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at around 5 months PG and was immediately put on to insulin, my beautiful daughter was very big for my dates and I was seeing my GP and Gynae specialist on a twice weekly basis.
She decided to make an appearance 6 weeks early (whilst we were on holiday !!) and I wasn't in my normal hospital. My diabetes wasn't properly monitored and by the time I gave birth I had almost passed out. My daughter was in special care for 3 weeks and for the first few days was on a glucose drip as apparently she had been helping me with my insulin levels ??
After my 6 week glucose tolerance test I was told the Diabetes had gone, but 2 years later it was back and I'm now on a mixture of Byetta, Metformin, Glizacide and Labetol (for BP), I'm starting Clomid this month so as soon as I suspect I may be PG I shall be back on the insulin and will be monitored very carefully.
My daughter is absolutely perfect and we have been trying for baby #2
Every pregnancy is different, just make sure you look after yourself and report anything different, however small to your GP/ Gynae
I wish you the very best of luck.
