If you or your spouse is a diabetic, will that affect the baby during pregnancy?

If your spouse (male ) is diabetic, no prob.
If you are diabetic, here are some of the problems you may encounter:
1. Worsening sugar control
2. Big baby
3. Deformed baby
4. Too much water (amniotic fluid)
5. Recurrent urine infections
6. Recurrent whitish discharge / vaginal thrush
7. Risk of baby suffocating near delivery
8. Risk of shoulder dystocia at delivery
9. Risk of traumatic delivery
If you maintain a good sugar controland follow your doctor / dietitian / diabetic nurse instructions, you can avoid many (or ALL) the above problems.
I don't mean to discourage you. You asked. I answered.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

In some cases, when a man is diabetic, he cannot produce adequate (if any) sperm to reproduce. If the woman is already pregnant with the man's sperm, then the man is "in the clear". The woman should be watched closely by the OBGYN for difficulties with the pregnancy. Gestational diabetes can also occur. That means, the mother becomes diabetic while she is pregnant. Diabetes is hereditary, so if one or both of the parents have diabetes, the child has a good change of also developing the disease. Maintaning a good balanced diet will help to control the onset of diabetes in a child's life.

Spouse= probably not
You=yes
uncontrlled diabetes can cause major health problems for you and for the baby. Pregnancy can throw your glucose levels way off. Even when controlling diabetes the baby can grow too big to be born vaginally(over 10lbs and up to30) Organs, especially the heart can be effected in the baby. Your doctor will ask for a special sonogram/ultrasound to check this problem.

I don't know about regular diabetes, but I had gestational diabetes while pregnant and had to stick to a special diet so the baby wouldn't get too big. The same thing may apply to regular diabetes.

The the male, there is no affects. But for a woman that is pregnant she has to really be watched by the doctor. Really have to be carefull of the blood sugars Just means more doc appts, more tests. Also I believe that you have to deliver by c-section.
