Text4Baby - Gestational Diabetes Reminder for Moms - November 19, 2013


November 19, 2013
Text4Baby Tuesday - 

During American Diabetes Month, Text4baby encourages expecting and new moms to make simple, but important lifestyle changes to improve their health - particularly if they have diabetes or are at risk for the disease. Women with a history of gestational diabetes have a 35 to 60 percent chance of developing diabetes again within 10 to 20 years after the birth of their child. The child also has increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes. 

Text4baby messages inform mothers about gestational diabetes and ways to manage the disease. Encourage women to sign up for Text4baby - information like this helps to keep moms and babies healthy.
