You just found out you are pregnant you have a 6 months old and had gestational diabetes that led to a caesarian section Is it safe to stay pregnant and what are the risks if you do keep the baby?

- Yes, it is. You may be considered high risk by some care providers, because of the previous GD but otherwise, you should be fine.
- We usually encourage people to wait at least one year after a vaginal birth and two years after a Cesarean section before trying to be pregnant again. Most physicians now will recommend that women either not attempt VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean) or do so with the understanding that if anything looks unfavorable, the threshold for going right to a Cesarean section would be very low. The reason is that recent research has shown that attempting labor after having a Cesarean greatly increases the chance of uterine rupture. But again, most physicians would recommend that you let things heal for a couple years before trying to become pregnant again (although you may hear different answers).
- Here is the news release that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) placed on their website in 2004 regarding recommendation against VBAC: acog.org/from_home/publications/press_releases/nr10-29-04-1.cfm

∙ 16y agoTypically if you know you are pregnant and you develop Diabetes but find out about it it is alright. Gestational diabetes (although not the greatest thing to have) is easy to control if you follow the diet. The main thing about gestational diabetes is that you typically have a larger baby. Each pregnancy is different; you might not even develop gestational diabetes during this pregnancy. I would say to stay away from sugar during your pregnancy, follow your diet and talk to your doctor to see what he/she says about this pregnancy.

If you have gestational diabetes do you have to have a c-section?
No. But gestational diabetes increases your chance of having one. The main risk factor of gestational diabetes is a baby that gains too much weight. Often, if a baby is too big, vaginal delivery is deemed too dangerous and a c-section is scheduled. Your doctor will be closely monitoring your baby's weight in the last few weeks of your pregnancy to determine the need for an early delivery or c-section. The best thing you can do is follow a diabetic diet by limiting sugars and carbs.

What happens to a baby whose mother has gestational diabetes and doesn't get it under control?
The main risk factor in uncontrolled gestational diabetes is rapid weight gain in the fetus. The increased blood sugar in the bloodstream can cause the baby to pack on the pounds. Bigger babies make for more complicated deliveries. Untreated gestational diabetes can also mean that your baby has an increased risk of becoming obese.
What are Gestational diabetes affects on the child?
There can be adverse effects on the baby if the gestational diabetes is very severe. Your health care provider can help you out there. Often though, most cases can be corrected with exercise and diet. The good news is that gestational diabetes can actually aid in the development of some key systems in the baby. For example in the babies lungs very little surfactant is produced, which is a chemical thatallows the lungs to fully open after birth. The increased levels of cortisol from the mother experienced during gestational diabetes increases this production of surfactant. Sometimes letting nature run its course here can help in the longs run.
If a women has gestational diabetes how early can a doctor induce labor?
It depends on the weight of your baby. If you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, your baby's growth will be more closely monitored than if you had a normal pregnancy. The main risk with gestational diabetes is a baby that gains too much weight in the womb due to increased sugar in the blood. If your baby is measuring too big, your doctor may induce labor around 37-38 weeks. Waiting any longer can cause delivery complications and increase the need for a c-section.
