When does gestational diabetes occur?

My sister was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her pregnancy, and I'm also expecting now. I'm a bit worried about it. When in pregnancy does gestational diabetes typically occur or get diagnosed?

Beta, gestational diabetes, jise garbh-kaliya madhumeh kehte hain, woh aksar pregnancy ke 24वें se 28वें hafte mein pata chalta hai. Kabhi-kabhi thoda pehle bhi. Aaram se rehna, tension mat lena. Apne doctor ki salah lena sabse zaroori hai.

Bhabhi, ye pregnancy ke time hi hota hai na sugar? Mere didi ko bhi hua tha, sab bolte hain dhyan rakhne ko, but delivery ke baad theek ho gaya tha. Aap bhi doctor se achhe se puchhna.

Haan, exactly jaise naam se pata chal raha hai, ye pregnancy mein hi hota hai. Meri bhabhi ko bhi hua tha, unka checkup hua tha 7th month ke around. Doctor ne bola tha bas diet theek rakho aur thodi walking karo.

Ye aksar garbhawastha ke beech ke mahino mein shuru hota hai. Agar aapko yeh ho, toh stress kam karne ke liye pranayama (deep breathing) bahut helpful ho sakta hai, doctor ki salah se. Mann shant rahega toh sharir bhi saath dega.

It typically shows up in the second half of your pregnancy, usually after 20 weeks. Mine was diagnosed around week 25. The main thing is to manage your diet carefully and keep an eye on your sugar levels. It's temporary for most, so don't stress too much, just be diligent.

My doctor at Apollo told me they usually screen for it between 24 to 28 weeks. If you're concerned, it's best to specifically ask your gynaecologist about the screening tests and what symptoms to look out for. Don't hesitate to ask all your doubts.

Usually, it's detected mid-pregnancy, around the second trimester. If your doctor confirms it, along with diet control, gentle exercise like brisk walking can really help manage blood sugar levels. But always, always confirm with your gynaecologist first!

Honestly, I got this diagnosis around 26 weeks and totally freaked out! But my doctor told me it's quite common and usually resolves after delivery. Just follow their advice on diet and monitoring, you'll be fine.
