Can gestational diabetes come immediately after conceiving?
Hi, I'm 21 weeks pregnant and can gestational diabetes come immediately after conceiving?. mere saath what should I do? Any advice from other moms-to-be?
Actually yaar, gestational diabetes usually kicks in around the second or third trimester due to placental hormones. But if you have high sugar right after conceiving, it might be pre-pregnancy diabetes. Best is to get an HbA1c test done, talk to your doctor!
I am planning soon and was reading up on this too. Actually, true gestational diabetes usually happens later around the 24th week because of placental hormones. But pre-existing diabetes can be detected early, so getting a fasting test done is a good idea.
Usually, it develops later in pregnancy, but some doctors test early if there's a family history. Keep your diet balanced and avoid too many sweets, but please get proper blood tests done as per your doctor's advice.
I had severe nausea and couldn't eat much early on, but my doctor still checked my sugar levels because of family history. If you are worried, a simple blood test can clarify everything. Don't stress too much.
I had to take a sugar test in my first trimester because of my age, but my doctor explained that true gestational diabetes typically starts around 24-28 weeks. It's best to discuss your medical history with your gynac.
