GD in second pregnancy

I had GD in my 1st pregnancy. I’m now pregnant again with my second. I have my glucose test in a couple of weeks (at 26 weeks). I was wondering what other people’s experiences are with GD in subsequent pregnancies?

I think I had it in my first and I did not have it with my second

I had GD in my first pregnancy. I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant and my doctor tested me early to get a baseline. I have it again, now I’m pricking my finger 4 times a day till July. Currently I don’t need insulin shots, but my first pregnancy I did.

I’ve had it both pregnancies I was given a monitor at 10 weeks as I had already had symptoms. I’m now on insulin this time around last time it was diet controlled. My fasting level his the issue in this pregnancy

Your chances are bigger if you have had it in your previous pregnancy but it’s not a given. Fingers crossed

Had it in both pregnancies. It was picked up earlier 2nd time round as I was giving testing kit at 10 weeks and I had it again by the time I was 12 weeks. I ended up on metformin by 20 weeks but never went on insulin. Went on metformin with the first aswell. Symptoms were similiar my first baby was big 9lbs. 2nd baby was only 6lbs 7oz x

I had gd in both of my pregnancies

I had it with all 3 pregnancies, and with each pregnancy it got worse. Meaning I started insulin earlier and higher doses with each pregnancy

Mine came back at 9 weeks, but I tested at home and self diagnosed. I found it less stressful this time because I know what to avoid and how to manage it I was on insulin by 11 weeks

Thanks everyone! From your comments I think it’s inevitable that I end up having it again. At least I can prepare myself for the diet 😂
