GD 2nd time around?

Question

Hey ladies! I am very newly pregnant with my second! I had GD with my first, diagnosed around 29ish weeks and was able to control it with diet. I gained so much weight in those 29 weeks before I started the diet, like 40 pounds. It took me a long time to loose it all and I just felt so unhealthy during and after pregnancy. I've already decided and started to at least mostly follow the GD guidelines for nutrition starting right away. (I'm assuming I will have it again.) anyone in the second (or more) with GD again? When did they test? Ok hoping they can test earlier this time around!
Thanks!

Answer

I have GD again and was diagnosed at 4 weeks! I am already on 24 units of insulin even with following a strict diet it just wasn't enough. I knew it would happen early for me since I was on 125 units of insulin when I was pregnant with my son but I wasn't expecting to be on it at 4 weeks. I am not 6.5 weeks and I'm doing ok on the insulin but I'm so nauseous all the time it's so hard to eat. I didn't have it as bad with my son and it only lasted a week or two. Ahh to everyone dealing with this along with me, we can do this!!!

Answer

I had GD with my 2nd also then became a Type 2 after my 2nd.

Answer

I had it with my first and and again this time (30 weeks now). This pregnancy they tested me at 10 weeks due to my history. It seems easier to manage the second time around, maybe because I'm chasing a toddler! Haha

Answer

This is my 2nd pregnancy and I got tested for GD around 18-19 weeks.

Answer

I had it with all three. First two tested at 28 weeks. Both controlled with diet. Third pregnancy I was diagnosed at 16 weeks. This time my fasting numbers were high in the morning so I take a pill at bedtime every night. But otherwise controlled by diet. Best of luck!
