The main risk factor in uncontrolled gestational Diabetes is rapid weight gain in the fetus. The increased blood sugar in the bloodstream can cause the baby to pack on the pounds. Bigger babies make for more complicated deliveries.
Untreated gestational diabetes can also mean that your baby has an increased risk of becoming obese.

∙ 12y agoThe main risk of gestational diabetes is rapid weight gain in the fetus. The extra blood sugar running through the mother's bloodstream can cause the baby to pack on the pounds quickly.
Symptoms of gestational diabetes include: fatigue, frequent urination, yeast infections and extreme thirst. A lot of these symptoms are difficult to distinguish from regular pregnancy symptoms.
Your doctor will test you for gestational diabetes between week 24 and 28 of your pregnancy. You will drink a sugar drink and your blood will be evaluated for how it reacts to the sugar.
