If you have gestational diabetes – high blood sugar levels during pregnancy - this booklet explains the care and checks you should expect for you and your baby.
It’s got checklists for you to tick off the appointments and tests you’ve already had and space to make notes on things you want to discuss with your healthcare team – and what to do if you have problems with the care you’re getting.
It also includes what care to expect after your pregnancy.
After you give birth, gestational diabetes usually goes away but you have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. There's more information about this on our page preventing type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes.
