I have gestational diabetes, I'm only 8 weeks pregnant. I had it with my son and they tested me for it at 6 weeks. Failed. So took the 3 hour test at 7 weeks. Failed. Had my class for it today and got my meter. Im really worried bc usually you get it later on in pregnancy, and the biggest risk for the baby is being too big and underdeveloped lungs. Well I learned today that if you have diabetes already OR get it early in pregnancy, since so much is just developing, it can cause deformities. =( I am not sure really about anything other than that, maybe its only if your diabetes is out of control, idk, but it has me so worried. I asked the dietician if I should worry and she didnt really answer my question. Not really the reassurance I was looking for. Now that I know I am eating well and controlling it, mostly what I'm worried about is what I've done the last 8 weeks if it could of caused harm... Any help would be appreciated .
