GD & Insomnia

Hello there. Just wondering if getting lack of sleep will actually leads to having GD? As insomnia hits me 3 nights straight, and just did my glucose test today. Not sure if this will increase the risk of getting it. 😳

Nah, GD has nothing to do with insomnia and likewise. GD is because of too much sugar. And insomnia is actually absolutely normal in pregnancy. I had terrible one in my 1st and 3rd trimester but no GD. Your body is going through alot and really alot of changes while pregnant. And normally the insomnia in 3rd trimester is the worse due to frequent toilet visits, your uncomfortable big belly & baby being active at night.

Not true I guess. I'm a mum of 5, last gave birth on Feb this year and have had insomnia history. I'm free of GD.

insomia in 2nd trimester is common.... GD will only be caused by taking too much sugary food n drinks.
