I was diabetic even before this pregnancy and managing it with diet mostly. Now im just worried what effect it might have on the baby and on me. Anyone here who was diabetic from before, how did it go for u?
Yes it can, which is why they monitor sugar so closely. With good control through diet, walks and the care my doc gave, my pregnancy went fine. The key is regular checks and following the doctor, dont panic but dont ignore it either.
Like with thyroid, the main thing is regular follow ups so the doctor can adjust as needed. Controlled sugar and good monitoring lead to good outcomes. Just dont skip those appointments.
It can affect things if left uncontrolled, so please stay on top of your checkups. A friend managed hers well with her doctors plan and had a healthy baby. The doctor monitoring makes all the difference.
