While making lifestyle changes following a "failed" oral glucose tolerance test will lead to a healthier baby and easier delivery, it is not necessary to wait until 24-28 weeks along to take action. I work with expectant mothers early in their pregnancies and help them better gauge their risk factors, as well as monitor for early signs for gestational diabetes. This creates a greater sense of confidence that they are doing their best to keep their blood glucose in a normal range and averting future problems.
I look forward to working with you if you feel you need guidance and support during this most important time in you and your baby's life.
