Who is at risk for gestational diabetes?

Pregnant women who can't make enough insulin during late pregnancy develop gestational diabetes. Being overweight or obese is linked to gestational diabetes which may already have insulin resistance when they become pregnant. Gaining too much weight during pregnancy may also be a factor.

I just found out I have a 8 x 7.2 cm uterus fibroid after my MRI and ultrasound. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried and would like to know my options.
Many women with uterine fibroids experience no signs or symptoms, or only mildly annoying signs and symptoms that they can live with.

They usually grow slowly — or not at all — and tend to shrink after menopause, when levels of reproductive hormones drop.
