Gestational diabetes-are you more at risk if you have a family history of diabetes?

¢нєєку кιттєи™ [вαвÿ løṿε] asked:


Or can it affect any pregnant lady all the same?
Also can someone fill me in briefly about what is gestational diabetes?
Does it affect the baby?
The people who have it in my family (uncle and nephew) arent overweight.
