Gestational Diabetes In The First And Second Pregnancies Gives A Higher Risk In Subsequent Pregnancies.
Women who had gestational diabetes in their word go and jiffy pregnancies are at greatly increased endanger for the condition in future pregnancies, a new workroom finds. Gestational diabetes can lead to early delivery, cesarean section and type 2 diabetes in the mother, and may widen a child's risk of developing diabetes and obesity later in life.

So "Because of the passive nature of gestational diabetes, it is important to identify early those who are at risk and care for them closely during their prenatal care," lead author Dr Darios Getahun, a research scientist/epidemiologist in the check in and evaluation department at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, said in a Kaiser account release. In this study, researchers analyzed the medical history of more than 65000 women who delivered babies at a Kaiser Permanente Southern California medical center between 1991 and 2008.
