When you are pregnant, your cells become slightly more resistant to insulin. That raises the amount of sugar in your blood, which helps make more nutrients available to your baby. But if the level of glucose becomes too high, it can cause problems for you and your baby.

Gestational diabetes, also known as GDM, will raise the odds of pregnancy complications.

Your higher blood sugar affects your baby, too, since they gets nutrients from your blood. Your baby stores that extra sugar as fat, which can make them grow larger than normal. They're more likely to have certain complications:

• Injuries during delivery because of their size.
• Low blood sugar and mineral levels when they're born.
• Jaundice, a treatable condition that makes the skin yellowish.
• Pre-term birth.
• Temporary breathing problems.

Later in life, your baby might have a greater chance of obesity and diabetes. So help your child live a healthy lifestyle -- it can lower their odds for these problems.
