Pregnancy Info HOME

Congrats on the pregnancy. I am 3 months with my 4th! I have PCO and became pregnant with my first preg with infertility shots and required progesterone suppositories 110mg 2-3 X daily for the first 12 weeks. I also became gest diabetic around 26 wks and was scrared to death because I had to take insulin injections. I was a nervous wreck I would lose or harm my baby. Everything turned out fine. My baby was normal at 6lbs 12 oz induced 1 wk early as they do commonly with GD. My 2, and 3rd pregnancy I was borderline GD but managed my sugars thru diet and controlled my weight gain and never needed insulin. My current (fourth) pregnancy I was on Metformin to help me to conceive and to prevent a miscarriage because I had one 6 wks prior. My doctor is keeping me on Metformin until the end of this wk (wk 12). I will also be stopping the progesterone suppositories. Don't worry about gestational diabetes. Watch your sugar intake and weight gain and you may prevent it. But if it happens, it is extremely manageable and your baby will be fine. Good Luck to you!!!!
