While diabetes during pregnancy is a health challenge, it doesn?t have to mean pregnancy will be difficult or giving birth to a healthy baby is impossible.
Eight million women have diabetes and one in 20 million develop gestational diabetes, according to ehealthmd.com. Fortunately, there is much that women with diabetes can do to promote healthy pregnancies and deliver normal babies.
Even before becoming pregnant, women with diabetes should get their blood sugar under control three to six months before they conceive to reduce the risk of birth defects.
