Gestational Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes

—> Hormones from the placenta block and diminish your body’s ability to use or make insulin. Insulin helps your body maintain the appropriate amount of glucose (blood sugar) in the blood. Weight gain and other factors make pregnant people more naturally insulin resistant – and some develop gestational diabetes as a result.

—> GDM does not develop because you had undiagnosed diabetes prior to pregnancy; it occurs because of the pregnancy. Usually diagnosed between 24 and 28 weeks, GDM can feel like a scary diagnosis.

Fortunately, GDM is a well-understood and well-managed diagnosis. We also have new information that came out in 2024 showing that GDM can be directly related to DAD’S HEALTH as his genetics are what determines the Placenta health.

Pregnancy Swelling!

Pregnancy Swelling!

We’re here today to talk about maybe one of the most common complaints seen during pregnancy and postpartum: swelling.

Swelling during pregnancy is usually pretty common in the lower extremities and feet. All the extra fluid that your body creates to help support a healthy baby can cause blood circulation to slow – and much of it accumulates in the legs and feet. Especially if you are up on your feet a lot!

We have gotten into postpartum care and even the so-called “fourth trimester.” But another important factor to consider in your pregnancy journey is what to do before you get pregnant. Your lifestyle, mood and overall health can have a tremendous effect on your fertility and ability to conceive. And that is what we are here to talk about today. Aside from the mental, emotional, and relational dynamics involved in making this decision, your physical well-being is just as vital!
