10 Gestational Diabetes Symptoms
8. Hypoglycemia
Hypoglycemia is the technical medical term for having lower than usual sugar in the blood. This is a condition that will often occur in babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes. The condition will develop for the baby shortly after they have been born.
The condition can be risky for the baby but it can usually be treated without too much difficulty. Feeding the baby will help to increase their blood sugar levels, while a glucose solution may sometimes be fed to them intravenously. In severe cases, the baby might suffer from seizures, but there will usually be no permanent damage done.
