My wife had diabetes through both of her pregnancies. We were told that there was a chance of the
babies being born with an inflated birth weight, much bigger than say 9 lbs. There were a few other things that I cannot remember off the top of my head.
Believe it or not, the way around being paranoid, to some extent is getting a proper education on diabetes. Was this gestational diabetes? Do you have any other medical conditions that might complicate a pregnancy? Is this type 2 diabetes?
