Morning sickness a result of low blood sugar?

**Posted:** Tue Sep 20, 2005 2:54 pm

I read an article that stated morning sickness was the result of having a low blood sugar; therefore, eating carbs such as crackers would help relieve it.

I thought it was advisable to have and to maintain a low blood sugar, to avoid having large babies and birth defects.

Does anyone have any information on what having a high blood sugar during conception and pregnancy will do to the embryo/fetus/baby?

Thank you,

I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy and from what I can remember, one of the concerns if having a larger baby. So, they will monitor the baby often and often deliver a couple weeks early.
