Reply to comment by oldmankitty in TIL, the placenta that forms with a fetus isn't created by the mother. It grows from the fertilized egg and some fetuses actually develop outside the uterus attached to the intestines in the body cavity. by darw1nf1sh
Currently pregnant too. I have gestational diabetes, with like no family history of any diabetes, and starting pregnancy at 5’8 and 135 pounds. My doctors assured me the diabetes is because my placenta is causing it. Which makes me wonder because diabetes is rampant in my husbands family.
Since I was diagnosed, I have wondered if his genetics has anything to do with this… 😂
