You should go to your delivery hospital immediately. With your history of gestational diabetes, you are at increased risk for preeclampsia and eclampsia, which can be deadly for you and baby. Preeclampsia is a disease unique to pregnancy- you typically see elevated blood pressure with protein in the urine and a bad headache. Eclampsia is preeclampsia plus a seizure. Seizures in pregnancy can significantly damage your blood supply to your brain and your baby. Please go get evaluated immediately. Good luck!
