Hello all.
I'm 29 years old and in the very early stages of pregnancy (only about 3-4 weeks) with my second child - my daughter is 2. When I was pregnant with her I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes at around 36 weeks. She was quite a big baby (9lb2oz), but I had a normal delivery 🙂
I also suffer from PCOS and have not managed to lose much of my baby weight from the first time around.
I am worried now that the gestational diabetes will come back - I know that the PCOS and my weight make me higher risk than someone who does not have it and is a healthy weight. But I dont know where else to go for advice - last time my GP and midwife didnt want to know until after 12 weeks so I dont know if its worth my while going to see them?? Also, because I'm so very early in the pregnancy, I'm worried that something will "go wrong"
Am I more likely to get GD because I had it before?
Thanks for listening to my waffling, I have nowhere else to let it all out because I dont want anyone int he "real world" to know my news just yet!!
