gestational diabetes - consequences for babyFrom: Allison (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 26 Jun 2002 22:48:34 -0500 (CDT)
I would like to know exactly what the consequences could be for my baby. Here is my situation. My first pg found GD but it was controlled through diet, baby born 7lb 7oz. Now 2nd pg I insisted on early testing at 20 weeks, which found much higher sugar levels. I have been working with a program to keep my levels under control but have had to administer insulin. Everything was going fine, at the 32 week U/S found that the abdomen was slightly enlarged, about 1/2 week ahead of baby. At 33 weeks, normal sugar levels, at 34 weeks, high levels so dr. put me on insulin during the day as well as at night, at 35 weeks v. good levels and at 36 weeks excellent levels, no highs. Then, in for the 36 week U/S which found the baby's abdomen developed at a 41 wk baby size, with rest of baby 35-36 weeks. I of course am upset, feel guilty etc, and am really worried about what this will mean for the baby. Will she be born with health problems? Will she be obese? Will I need a c-section? She is currently measuring overall size btwn. 7 1/2 and 8 lbs. But most important, I would like to know what health problems or complications or consequences there could be for baby. All weekly NST's have been "great" . I would also like to know why this has happened so quickly? Sorry for the very long mail. I must see dr. on Friday and am in fear. Thank you very much.
