How diabetes would have affected the child.?
<< After gestational diabetes...? Gestational Diabetes question! help please!? >>
I’m a diabetic, but I came to know when I check blood sugar in the third month of my pregnancy. I’m currently taking insulin and sugar is now below 150. Doctor said that I don’t have gestational diabetes but actual. Now I would like to know the two months of pregnancy without sugar control would have affected the growth of the child.

Your doctor can do tests to see if the child is ok. My mother had type 1 at age 16 and is a brittle diabetic (blood sugar is up and down alot, not necessarily related to diet) and has been her whole life. She did have one stillborn baby, but she also had three other healthy children with no problems in child hood.

Do not be alarmed as this does not happen to all babies, but from searching I found that: Diabetes in a pregnant woman can cause the baby to have birth defects, miscarry, be born early and have a low birth weight, be stillborn, or grow extra large and have a hard delivery.The organs of the baby form during the first two months of pregnancy, often before a woman knows that she is pregnant. Out of control blood sugar can affect those organs while they are being formed and cause serious birth defects, such as those of the brain, spine, and heart, or can lead to miscarriage of the developing baby. If the woman’s blood sugar remains out of control throughout the pregnancy, the baby likely will grow extra large
You should be under constant care of a doctor to make sure nothing has affected your baby during the first few months. Also know that stress affects blood sugar so don’t overtthink this, your baby may be perfectly normal and since your blood sugar is now corrected there is no risk for the baby to overgrow.
