If the diabetes is not well controlled during pregnancy, the baby is exposed to high blood sugar levels. This can affect the baby and mom during the pregnancy, at the time of birth, and after birth.

Infants who are born to mothers with diabetes are often larger than other babies(macrosomia). Larger infants make vaginal birth harder. This can increase the risk for nerve injuries and other trauma during birth. Also, C-sections are more likely.

The infant is more likely to have periods of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) shortly after birth, and during first few days of life.

The term "fetal macrosomia" is used to describe a newborn who's significantly larger than average. A baby diagnosed with fetalmacrosomia has a birth weight of more than 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4,000 grams), regardless of his or her gestational age.
