sa mga GDM mommies, umabot ba kayo ng 39th or 40th week niyo?

[Yui_21]

thanks mga sis sa sagot..will be visiting my endo this week or next week.. kung pwede lang next week para tapos na ang mga kainan..lol!

[miminibebe]

Meron ba ditong mga sis natin na nadiagnose with GDM very early in there pregnancies? Inaatake kasi ako ng paranoia, because i read na high blood sugar during the 1st few weeks of pregnancy can cause birth defects.  Been testing my sugar levels since my 7th week and awa naman ni Lord di ako lumalagpas sa mga binigay ng diabetologist ko na level.  Pero napaparanoid pa din ako.

Mga sis anong result ng HBA1C nyo? 8.5 kasi sakin. Sabi ni OB masyado daw mataas kasi ang normal daw ay 6.5. Kaya need ko magpa labtest yung may fasting. FBS. 11 weeks pa lang ako kaya natatakot ako kasi medyo nahihirapan ako mag control sa pagkain madalas ako mahilo at magutom. Umiinom na din ako ng ampalaya juice. Isang buong ampalaya sa isang araw. Kasi nabasa ko sa 1st thread yung ginawa ng isang sis natin na may gdm. Umiinom sya ng 2oz of ampalaya everyday and naging maayos naman result ng test nya. Sana maging okay din ang test ko. Nagbasa basa din ako ng benefits and side effects ng Ampalaya. nagulat ako sa nabasa ko. Amplaya Side Effects
In large dozes, pure Ampalaya juice can be a purgative and may cause pregnancy abortion.

Ito pala yung link mga sis http://www.medicalhealthguide.com/articles/ampalaya.htm sana wala akong maling ginawa Ask ko na din si OB sa next check up ko. TIA

^masyado nga mataas yan. saken kasi 6 pero pinag insulin nako kasi ang takaw ko , hindi makuha sa diet

[khriseeee]

For mommies who had GDM, did your diabetes go away right after giving birth? Did you have to undergo any additional blood tests prior to your discharge from the hospital?

[m_lim]

^saken habang nasa hospital, maya maya check ng sugar. ininject rin ako ng insulin hanggang sa maging normal ang readings.

thank God talaga naging normal sugar ko the next day after giving birth. tumaas kasi siya after ko mag labor. isang factor rin daw ang stress from labor kasi wala naman ako kinain non. naka dextrose lang.

2 months after giving birth kailangan ko ulit magpa blood test for Oggt. dun malalaman kung tumuloy ng diabetes or not

[design21]

sis ako din pinababalik for ogtt ayoko na bumalik pwede after 6 months nalang hahaha:) nung nagok na si dra sakin na wag na magcheckmng sugar kumain agad ako ng chocolate cake sa tuwa:)

[privateyhaz]

Hi Khrisee. After 3 months, you have to visit your endocrinologist again for another bloodwork to see if your sugar is high. Also, FBS every 6 months is advised. I suffered from GDM during my 1st pregnancy and I am badly hoping na sana hindi na ngayon sa 2nd baby ko. I am 12 weeks pregnant and my diet has been controlled since Day 1. During my 1st baby kasi, I was also advised to monitor my sugar before and after meal and shot insulin early morning and late at night.

[m_lim]

^hahaha! ako dahil sa hemorrhoids kahit anong sarap ng pagkain walang appeal! mabuti for my GDM!

[miminibebe]

Sis chelsea03, ako ang result ng HBA1C ko is 5.8, di daw ako prediabetic before i got pregnant, ginawa ko yan when i was 6 weeks, mag 7 weeks na.  Pero ang nauna pinaggawa sa kin was OGCT, nagfail ako dun, 145 reading ko, dapat daw highest is 140 lang dapat, kaya pinag- OGTT ako.  Hay naku, dusa yang test na yan.  Syempre, binagsak ko din, mababa ang fbs ko, pero yung agter 1 hour hanggang 3rd hour lahat high.  Kaya ako pinagHBA1C, tapos test ng potassium. 

Now test lang ako ng dugo, may binigay na sched sa kin yung diabetologist.  So far wala pa naman akong binabagsak.

[chelsea03]

Thank you Sis m_lim and miminibebe. Worried na talaga ako pero I'm still hoping and praying na maging okay yung mga lab test ko. 

[khriseeee]

Good to hear that your diabetes did not continue after birth! I read that in many cases it an e.

I didn't have GDM while i was pregnant as i have family history of diabetes on both sides, kaya i was very careful of what i ate

[kitching]

hi mga sis! tuwing kelan ba ginagawa yung test for gestational diabetes? im on my 27th week.

[clueless]

For mommies who had GDM, did your diabetes go away right after giving birth? Did you have to undergo any additional blood tests prior to your discharge from the hospital?

I had to take an OGTT 6 weeks after giving birth and fortunately, my sugar was back to normal albeit normal high.

My endo said having GDM increases your chances of developing type 2 diabetes later on in life by 50%.

[m_lim]

^kaya dapat talaga pigil pigil pag preggy kahit super sarap kumain. hay, lesson learned.

[rigette]

Hello mommies! Kakakuha ko lang ng results ng OGCT ko and I got 142.18 mg/dL or 7.89 mmol/L. I'm 33 weeks. Sa experience nyo ba, tong values na to means I have GD?

Nag worry ako bigla! Sa Wednesday pa check up ko 

[miminibebe]

Sis rigette, ang sabi ng OB ko normal levels daw is below 140 mg/dl.  Nung nagpag OGCT ako 145 levels ko, pinagOGTT ako agad, ayun, bagsak hehe... Pero sabi naman di porke nagfail sa OGCT eh automatic may GDM na, madami nakakapasa sa OGTT kahit bagsak sa OGCT.
