Question
Will having gestational diabetes at two months pregnant affect the child?
Answer
Mothers who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy may experience uncontrolled blood sugar levels that can affect the fetus, increasing risks such as miscarriage, preterm birth, macrosomia, and congenital malformations. Additionally, the fetus of a diabetic pregnant woman may exhibit hypoglycemia symptoms after birth, requiring timely treatment. However, if diagnosed and managed properly, these risks can be significantly reduced.
