Anyone who had GD during a pregnancy, did you develop it again during subsequent pregnancies?
Posted by admin on Oct 9, 2009
This only applies to women who had Gestational Diabetes during their first pregnancy, and have had more children as well.
Just curious, I know my chances are abnormally high and I plan to start watching my diet right away, but just curious if anyone did have it once and not the next time. 
Thanks!
I had it with my first child and not my second. I am GD free with my son, but not with my daughter.

Any of you fail the first Gestational Diabetes test but pass the second?
Posted by admin on Aug 31, 2009
So I’m 29 weeks and was informed that I failed my first Gestational Diabetes test (the one where you don’t have to fast). My level was 139. Now I have to do the 3 hour test and I was just wondering if there was anyone who failed the first test but passed the second? And what were your levels, if you remember?
Thanks so much!
Yes, I failed the first test with a result in the 170s and I passed the second test.
When did they diagnose you with preclampsia?
Posted by admin on Jan 5, 2009
I’m 30 weeks. I’ve only gained 15 pounds. My blood pressure (after getting up and off and back up on the doctors table) was 150/88. 2 minutes later it was 130/83. However, the doctor didn’t care about the second time they took it and started talking like I already had preclampsia and took blood to run a bunch of tests. I am not retaining water as far as I know. The amniotic fluid is "Perfect" she said….so what the heck? There have been a few times earlier on that my blood pressure was like 142/90….but I’ve always had high blood pressure. With meds and stuff now it’s been okay. So why is she talking like I’ll be on bed rest not to far from now? What were your symptoms when you were diagnosed?
I was diagnosed with pre-elampsia at the end of my 5th month, of my first pregnancy. I had hypernemesis in the beginning of the pregnancy, and had lost close to 20lbs. I only gained a pound or two over the next month or so. Then at my appointment close to the six month mark, I gained 18 lbs in 2 weeks. I was swollen, really swollen. I was having headaches, but I have always had migraines and did not realize this was a symptom. They found protein in my urine and increased liver levels in my blood work. I was miserable and gaining weight very fast, even with bedrest. It sounds to me like your doctor is being cautious, so just do as he recommends until the test results come in and they can determine if you have toxemia. But, with my other pregnancies I had high blood pressure and swelling and a few other complications, but it was not considered toxemia and I was still put on bedrest. Just wait for the test to come back in before you get worked up about the possibility of bedrest. It may be that you are just fine and you can return to normal. But, if you have it, take your doctors advice and follow the bedrest. It is what is best for the baby. When I was first diagnosed, they were discussing the possibility of inducing labor as early as almost 7 months. But, with bedrest and constant monitoring, we were able to hold out until term. Good Luck!
