What Causes Gestational Diabetes?

I was told today that I didn’t pass my 3 hour glucose test. I believe the doctor called it gastational diabetic and told he he made me appointment with a specialist November 14. But I’m not understanding what that is and how I got it since I’m not taking no medicine other than prenatal gummies and it don’t run in my family on either side
