Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Making Babies: Having Difficulty Conceiving
Q: Shane, how's things?
Andrea checks in casually, leading into a structured discussion about when to seek initial fertility assessment and the step-by-step tests that follow, including male and female factors and the role of the GP.
Making Babies: Gestational Diabetes
Q: What aftercare or monitoring is advised post-pregnancy for gestational diabetes?
There is an increased long-term risk of diabetes, so regular GP screening and post-pregnancy metabolic monitoring are advised.
Making Babies: Gestational Diabetes
Q: Does having gestational diabetes automatically mean a C-section?
No, most cases do not require a cesarean; labour can often proceed normally with careful sugar control and team management.
Making Babies: Gestational Diabetes
Q: If I had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy, will I definitely get it again?
There is a higher risk if you've had it before, but it is not guaranteed; medical history will be reviewed and appropriate monitoring will be planned.
Making Babies: Gestational Diabetes
Q: Will I have more scans if I have gestational diabetes?
Yes, there will typically be an extra growth scan in the third trimester, with additional scans as needed based on care team decisions.
