Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it's crucial to be aware of potential complications like gestational diabetes. Often, there are no noticeable symptoms, making routine screening essential. However, some women may experience increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue beyond the typical pregnancy tiredness. Blurred vision and slow-healing sores or frequent infections can also be red flags.
Don't panic if you experience any of these! They don't automatically mean you have gestational diabetes. The best course of action is to discuss these concerns with your doctor. They can order the appropriate glucose screening tests to determine if you have developed gestational diabetes and guide you on managing it for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Early detection and management are key!
