How Does Gestational Diabetes Cause Pre Term Labor?

[sarasm 10]

Hi there,

 

My question is:

 

How Does Gestational Diabetes Cause Pre Term Labor?

 

I know gestational diabetes can cause early labor, but I don't know why or how? Does anyone have an explanation?

 

My friend had it and her water broke 4 weeks early.

 

Thank you so much.

I don't know if it causes it but it puts you at risk. I was not diabetic when I had my children and had 2 early deliveries. So other things can cause it too
