I had Gestational Diabetes with my last pregnancy. It was a surprise pregnancy having conceived when I had been taking birth control pills for 11 years (our other kids were 18, 15, and 12 when she was born). I did not find out I was pregnant until I was 17 weeks along. I had no pregnancy symptoms, but I did have some stomach pain after I ate and I was losing weight. Unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of diabetes. However, I found out that Gestational Diabetes does not present with symptoms and that is why all pregnant women are screened for it. As with all types of diabetes, if it is not being controlled, you can experience excessive thirst, greatly increased appetite, and frequent *********. But, these often accompany pregnancy without Gestational Diabetes. It has been 10 years since I had GD and I have recently been diagnosed with Glucose Intolerance, a form of pre-Diabetes. Women who have had GD are at a greater risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes so I am trying to follow a meal plan and exercise to delay the onset as long as possible. If I eat too many carbs, I get very sleepy, irritable, head-achy, and sick to my stomach. Again, all possible symptoms in pregnancy anyway.

Changes in vision, being thirsty, a kind of anxious/or “wound up feeling, always being tired, moody, irritable-don’t let anyone, including yourself-just “write it off” to being pregnant. You should probably see a doctor ASAP and discuss what you suspect. Look on the web-especially the American Diabetes Association. It’s critical that you look into it and write down questions to ask the doctor. You shouldn’t even wait-tell your doctor now.

Its hard to tell from pregnancy symptoms. Frequent ********* (also pregnancy) blurred vision, increased thirst.
