Hi everyone, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and just had my follow-up after having gestational diabetes. My fasting glucose was 108, 1-hour was 117, and 2-hour was 118. My doctor said I’m probably prediabetic and recommended losing some weight and continuing to eat healthy, which I’m already trying to do.

I’m still really worried, though. My A1c was 5.2% two weeks before giving birth and 5.4% when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Now that I have a newborn, I don’t have much time to read a lot, so I’d really appreciate some simple tips or encouraging words about what I can do to improve my blood sugar and lower my risk of developing/ reverse diabetes.

I’m honestly quite scared and just want to stay healthy for my son. ❤️ Any advice or positive experiences would mean a lot. Thank you!

Hi everyone!
I’m 10 weeks postpartum and just had my follow-up after having gestational diabetes. My results were 108 fasting, 117 at 1 hour, and 118 at 2 hours (mg/dL).
Everything looks okay except for my fasting number, which was a little high. I’m feeling a bit concerned about it.
Has anyone had similar results? Does anyone know why the fasting glucose can be elevated even when the 1- and 2-hour values are normal? And is there anything I can do to help bring my fasting glucose back into the normal range?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. ❤️

Hallo zusammen, ich bin gerade völlig geschockt. 😭 Ich habe gerade erfahren, dass ich schwanger bin erst 7 Wochen nach meinem Kaiserschnitt.
Wir hatten nur einmal Sex und mit Kondom, deshalb kann ich es kaum glauben. 😭 Ich habe große Angst, weil ich gehört habe, dass eine Schwangerschaft so kurz nach einem Kaiserschnitt riskant sein kann.
Hat jemand von euch etwas Ähnliches erlebt? Wie ist es bei euch ausgegangen und was hat euer Arzt dazu gesagt?

Hi everyone, I’m honestly shaking to my core right now. I just found out that I’m pregnant, and I’m only 7 weeks postpartum from my C section. 😭
I’m completely shocked because we only had sex once, and we used a condom. I genuinely don’t know how this happened.
I’m really scared because I’ve heard that getting pregnant this soon after a c section can be risky. Is it actually too dangerous to continue the pregnancy, or have any of you been in a similar situation and had a healthy pregnancy?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something like this. What did you do, and what did your doctor tell you?
