Online semi\u2010structured individual interviews were conducted (April\u2013May 2025) with women living on the island of Ireland who had experienced GDM \u22645\u2009years ago.

Although education received during pregnancy facilitated behaviour change that persisted postpartum, maintaining GDM\u2010related positive health behaviour changes was often challenging without ongoing support. Postpartum care gaps and a lack of interconception support left women uncertain about their future GDM risk and appropriate pregnancy preparation. These findings highlight the need for interconception care including timely postpartum follow\u2010up, clearer communication about recurrence risk and accessible preconception support for women planning a subsequent pregnancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/dme.70361","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,13]],"date-time":"2026-05-13T05:05:28Z","timestamp":1778648728000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Understanding interconception experiences of women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus across Ireland"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5306-8414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine V.","family":"George","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Population Health RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sergio A.","family":"Silverio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Institute of Population Health University of Liverpool  Liverpool UK"},{"name":"Department of Women &amp;
