This suggests that the chance of gastroparesis in gestational diabetes (GD) is very low. As well we know, GD is a type of diabetes that only occurs in pregnancy. After childbirth, it can go away on its own . And soon (about at 6th week after the day of childbirth), the normal mechanism of the body to regulate blood glucose will return on its own.
However if you experience severe NVP (no matter the reason behind the problem), see your doctor promptly! If left untreated, this may lead to malnutrition and serious dehydration, which can be harmful for your baby and your pregnancy!
