What are the chances?

Question

I had GD with my first baby. How likely is it that I will have it with baby#2?

Answer

I had GD with my daughter. I am now pregnant with a son and just passed my 3 hour glucose test with flying colors! So it IS possible, I know it's rare though. I've had a ton of other issues with this pregnancy, and I did a lot of praying before having my test done that Jesus would take this issue off my plate. I wasn't sure I'd have the energy to handle a big lifestyle change like that right now.

Answer

2 out of 3 woman had gd with their second

Answer

Oh no :-( i hated it...

Answer

It's highly likely. Your doctor may even have you test early for it, at about 16ish weeks. My doctor didn't have me test until I was 26 again because my 3 month A1C was perfect at the beginning of my pregnancy, but I still have it this time. I don't want to spout of any numbers because I don't have those, but it's my understanding that most/nearly all women who had it with their first have it again with their second.
