10 Gestational Diabetes Symptoms
10. Premature Birth
It is important that the unborn baby remains inside their mother as close as possible to the expected delivery date. This is because their mother essentially has them on a biological life support system when they are in the womb. If they are taken off this life-support system before they have developed enough to live in the outside world, they are likely to have problems.
Gestational diabetes may sometimes cause a premature birth. In some cases, an early c-section might be deemed necessary if the baby is growing too large. Sadly, gestational diabetes will also sometimes result in the baby dying shortly after or before they are born.
