It is not necessary that if your mother is having type 2 diabetes then you will develop gestational diabetes.But you have to give more attention.Regular blood sugar and HBA1c check is necessary
Daily walk, light physical exercise is helpful
Try some Yoga and meditation because it reduces anxiety.Anxiety increase blood sugar level due to hormonal changes.
In diet Take fiber rich diet
Low carbohydrate diet.
Take protein, iron, calsium rich diet.
Avoid refined carbohydrates,cold drinks.
Instead of juices take fresh fruits.
