According to the American Diabetes Association, about a third of women who suffered from gestational diabetes during pregnancy develop type 2 diabetes in the following years.

If you are given 4 pills all at once, wait for one week to have sex so you don’t infect your partner(s). If you are given a prescription for a week’s treatment, you can resume sex after you take all the pills. For you to avoid re-infection with chlamydia, your sex partner(s) should be treated even if they have no symptoms. Once you are treated and cured of chlamydia, you can be re-infected if you're exposed to the bacteria again.

If the test is faint (in comparison to the control band), the test may be positive, though the presence of hCG in the woman's body - or urine sample - may be low.
