It is diabetes that is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy, and it has negative effects on the health of both the mother and the fetus.

Gestational diabetes does not cause symptoms such as frequent thirst or frequent urination, and it is usually diagnosed by looking for it through laboratory tests requested by the doctor.

This disease usually goes away when pregnancy ends, but a woman who has had gestational diabetes is more likely than others to develop diabetes later.

The factors that increase the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes are:

Excess weight
Previous occurrence
Family history
Polycystic ovaries
