Gestational Diabetes Throughout Entire Pregnancy?

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:35:37 -0600

Did any of you ever have gestational diabetes throughout your entire pregnancy (or close to it)?

Because of my family history of diabetes and the fact that I was diagnosed pre-diabetic before my pregnancy, they had me do a 1 hour glucose screen at my appointment on Friday. I just got a call from the nurse that I "failed" my 1 hour screen (was supposed to be under 139 and mine came back at 148), so I have to go in on Saturday and do a 3 hour test to determine if I have gestational diabetes (already). I don't mind drinking the drink (I actually kind of like it), but I am not looking forward to being poked a million times and having to sit in the lab for 3 hours straight. Oh well though, my mom is coming with to keep me company.

If the test comes back that I do have gestational diabetes (I'm only 7 weeks 4 days today), what will happen?

Pregnancy weight gain how much is too much?

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:51:00 -0600

Hi, I am currently 15W5D pregnant and at my prenatal appointment today I weighed in at 166 lbs. The thing that is freaking me out is that 5 weeks ago I was about 153lbs and 5 weeks before that I was 150lbs. The first two times I was weighed they used a different scale than today. My question is, is it even possible that I have actually gained 13 pounds in 5 weeks? I do not look like I have gained much other than in belly and boobs to myself or anyone else.

I am 5'3" and I am about a 34D in bra size. I have noticed that my breasts are heavier, but they also seemed this way at my last prenatal.

I am also worried about gestational diabetes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How likely is gestational diabetes with second child?

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:49:06 -0500

I never had it with #1. I'm 17 wks with #2. Just curious what the odds were with having it the second time around. I've noticed I've been very thirsty this whole pregnancy..and know that is a sign. Typically, when would signs like that start if you did develop it?

Thanks!

Husband with type 2 diabetes, possible retrogade ejaculation?

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 08:59:06 -0500

Husband has type 2 diabetes and after much research on my part I believe he is having retrogade ejaculation, family doctor keeps telling us its just stress but we are no more stressed now than we were before we became pregnant with our son prior to his diabetes. The question is what type of doctor should we consult to help us figure all this out? Is there ways of retrieving sperm from the bladder if this is happening? Is it possible for us to conceive even with very little semen upon ejaculation? Thank you for your time, it is appreciated :)

Starting Metformin

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:50:21 -0500

Hi all. I've been trying since last year to get pregnant. I tried Provera twice and the first time i only got in one month. The second time i tried it, i got it for two months. But once again, my periods have stop coming. About two months ago i went to a family doctor because i hadn't been feeling well and he diagnosed me with Diabetes. big reality check for me! Anyhow, I went back to my gynecologist and i had an ultrasound done, blood checked and the whole works. She said my hormone levels are good, No cysts of any type, my ultrasound came out great and I have slight diabetes. so she said I have POS.

She has prescribed Glucophage for me which is Metformin. I've been reading up on it, and it seems that the side effects are bad. She told me to start with 3 500mg a day and if i got sick, then i should go to 2 a day. Any suggestions on how i should start? Also, what are my chances in getting pregnant?? She prescrived me for four months. Is that long enough to know if it's going to work? Sorry so long!

Gestational Diabetes test...

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:42:55 -0500

My ob called and said my blood was ok, but the other part was abnormal so they are sending me for the 3 hour test tomorrow..

What exactly do they look for in this test (both the 1 hr and the 3 hour)?

I just cant stop crying over this, since the ob feels I am more at a risk for having it since diabetes is common in my family and even in my dh's.
