Gestational Diabetes: What to Expect - Softcover

When a woman is diagnosed with gestational diabetes, she has six weeks to make a difference and often must wait two weeks to see a dietician. This book is designed to help guide expectant mothers diagnosed with gestational diabetes through those new guidelines pertaining to treatments, nutrition, exercise, monitoring, and more. Updates include new information on daily care, which is critical since diagnosis is usually only made toward the end of pregnancy. All of the guidelines are designed to help keep mother and child healthy and out of harm's way. In a delicate yet straightforward manner the book explores potential complications - and provides the knowledge needed to avoid them and bring a healthy baby into the world.
