Looking for information

[Ellen.Keith]

Good morning

I am Ellen Keith.  I had GD with my first pregnancy.  I was able to control my glucose levels with diet and exercise alone. When I was first diagnosed I was devistated, but my DS was born at 39 weeks 6 days.  He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz.  Today he is over a year old and happy and healthy.

My husband and I are have started to talk about trying starting to try for baby number 2 in August.  When I was diagnosed with GD I read lots of information about how if you had GD you have an increased chance of getting diabetes later in life, but I do not recall reading anything about the chances of having GD with later pregnancies.  Has any one come across information about in future pregnancies?

Okay so, I did some more reasearch and thought that I would share the information that I found.
