Gesting the baby, can you?

Hello,

I am type 2 diabetic, and I am in treatment to get pregnant, if I get it, can I breastfeed the baby?

I worry that you can get diabetic or malformation problems ...

Thank you!

Hello, Dolores.

The first thing that amazes me when reading your message is misinformation.
I guess, if you are in treatment to get pregnant, you will be treated by doctors, right?And you have not raised these doubts?

If your diabetes control is good, your pregnancy, despite needing greater medical surveillance, it can be normal.Here some diabetics who have been mothers of healthy children.

Can it go wrong?Of course.In non -diabetics there is also a risk.The most frequent in diabetics is that children have a weight higher than normal, but diabetes does not imply a risk of malformations, at least with good control.

In breastfeeding, I can't think of any cause that a diabetics cannot do it.

And that of getting diabetic, because the risk is slightly greater than when there is no background.

Anyway, you should ask doctors, because I am surprised by your doubts.

Greetings

Diabetics 2 is type 2 diabetic, I suppose.

I do not see what problem there is to get pregnant, you have to follow medical control (endocrine, gynecologist, midwife) and take care ... like all pregnancies.

To breastfeed and diabetes ... I have never read anything about it.I don't think it has anything to do.

And the malformations ... Well, there is a risk if you do not take care of yourself, if you are constantly 300 of blood glucose you have many more possibilities that the baby has problems.It's like playing the roulette, against more high numbers you are easier is to touch you.

Diabetic out ... will you not be one of the researchers who relates caesarean section to diabetes?:)) ... it's a joke

Type 2 does have a genetic predisposition but it is also greatly influenced by habits, food, exercise ...
