Gestational Diabetes

GDM usually has no symptoms. All pregnant women should be checked for it. If you have never had GDM before, your doctor should test for it between the 24th and 28th weeks of your pregnancy. If you have had it before, your doctor should test for it during your first visit for this pregnancy.
