Jaimee (CDE) briefly explains what GDM is & why we feel it is important to talk about this. From the risks during pregnancy, to things you have some control over to reduce risks, & how the diagnosis can impact your journey. Hayley will share her personal experience in the next episode & we will talk more about the emotional & psychological side of the journey. Unfortunately, a diagnosis of GDM can result in a lot of guilt, stress and an overall negative aspect to pregnancy, impacting on the enjoyment of this precious time. To help improve how women are treated at the time of diagnosis, during pregnancy, and after pregnancy, we hope women feel comfortable to share how their experience could be improved.
