Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that some women develop during pregnancy. It usually starts after the 20th week of pregnancy and goes away after the baby is born. This condition can cause the baby to grow larger than usual and may lead to other health risks for both the mother and the baby. It's important for pregnant women to be screened for gestational diabetes and to follow a healthy lifestyle. This page provides information on the condition and how it can be managed.
