Women with DIABETES?

Question

can they give birth normally? or will they have to have a C section because of Thier diabetic condiotion?

Answer 1

An uncontrolled diabetic with high sugar will have a higher incidence of pregnancy problems and higher risk of ceasarian, secondary to large baby.

A well controlled diabetic will have a pregnancy and delivery just like any other woman in all probability

Answer 2

The risk of gestational diabetes causing serious problems in the fetus is low, and most babies do well unless the disease is not controlled. The most important thing you can do to minimize the risk to your fetus once your gestational diabetes is diagnosed is to keep your blood sugar level as low as possible. When problems do occur, the most common are high birth weight, difficult delivery and a higher risk of delivery by cesarean section.

Doctors treat gestational diabetes with a carefully controlled diet designed to keep the pregnant woman’s blood sugar level within the normal range for pregnancy. If you have gestational diabetes, your doctor will probably refer you to a dietitian who can help you plan meals that will control your blood sugar and consider your food preferences. You are likely to be advised to avoid high-fat foods, eat a variety of foods including fruits and vegetables and watch portion sizes. The number of calories you need depends on how much you weigh and the stage of your pregnancy.

Answer 3

I've known women with diabetes who have had children. They need to be careful and have their blood sugar levels tested regularly. I've also known women who have developed diabetes during pregnancy. It's called gestational diabetes.

Answer 4

You can certainly give birth normally, the uterus is mostly indifferent to blood glucose. The trouble with pregnancy and diabetes lies in cardiovascular and excretory stresses put on a woman's body by carrying a child. Blood sugar is also compromised even in non-diabetic women during gestation - it will be even more exacerbated in somebody who already has abnormally increased blood sugars. You'll be wise to seek out an OB who specializes in diabetes pregnancies - they exist, and they are better suited to deal with these unique problems.

Answer 5

of course women with diabetes can give birth just as normal as one without. c sections are done because the baby is too big or the birth canal too small for him/her to be delivered vaginally

Answer 6

diabetes is not a factor for C section. symptoms due to it is like high central pressure.

Answer 7

not necessarily although women with diabetes usually have larger babies
