Can pregnant diabetes have a normal delivery?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with gestational diabetes can have a normal delivery, but the baby may be slightly heavier and larger than usual. However, the baby needs to be treated as a preterm infant! This is because you need to inject insulin during pregnancy (hormones can cause the body to gain weight, which then enters the fetus through the placenta, but insulin does not affect the baby's normal development), so after delivery, the baby will have a type of unhealthy fat. Therefore, attention needs to be paid!
