Hi folks, a few questions (I posted this in sues journal and then thought it would be good to ask all of you!)

I have been finding a common thing that a lot of people who have previously been on LC before a pregnancy, then go on to get gestational diabetes or nearly do.
I was thinking back to my pregnancy with my twins and something struck me, I remember that they use to use the keto sticks to detect the danger of diabetes (or I thought that was what it was for) so surely, if I do slip into the purple on the midwives sticks at any point (which could be possible if I lose my appetite or something for a few days) then will they just assume I am going diabetic? Could this be what happens sometimes anyway, and the women aren't really getting GD?? I'm sorry, I know nothing about it at all!

Also, if people didn't know anything about LC at all (like my neighbour) but were sick all their pregnancy, like she was, and they pretty much were loing weight (she lost 20lbs) then surely people like her would have babies with defects too? But her little one has been fine, no problems with IQ or anything....so do you think that's different if you are unintentionally not eating the right things, as apposed to actually Low carbing?

I'll be interested to find out your opinions!
