I had GD with DD - diagnosed at about 30 weeks, fully diet controlled (and by all accounts a 'mild' case).
Had no issues post birth with either DD or myself.
6 week post-pg GTT test came back all clear.

Now Im pg with #2 and wondering the likelihood of developing GD again - anyone get GD with first but not with subsequent pgs?

Thanks

I had it with #1 and like you controlled it with diet. 6 week PP test came back normal.

With #2 i developed GD and was put on insulin around 15 weeks, again the 6 week PP test came back fine.

I hope I don't get it again! Mine was diet controlled too. Will let you know in a few months. I'm being tested early at 18 weeks due to having had it before!

Also forgot to say #1 had no problems post birth.

#2 had big troubles controlling his Blood sugars, had to get 3 good ones in a row (which finally happened at 48hours) before we could go home. I kept testing him at home for the next couple of days and had to feed him 2 hourly, alot of formula topups in the 1st 3-4 days.
