Must I check my glucose tolerance during pregnancy? What reaction will pregnant women with gestational diabetes have?

Glucose tolerance test during pregnancy is necessary, and it is one of several main tests throughout pregnancy. The time of glucose tolerance test is 24 weeks to 28 weeks of pregnancy. I did it when I was 24 weeks pregnant. My idea at that time was to do it the first time. In case of high blood sugar, I can adjust it according to the doctor's plan to avoid irreparable harm.

First, what is the impact of high blood sugar during pregnancy? (a), the impact on the baby, the baby is huge, once the baby's blood sugar rises, his pancreas will produce more insulin to metabolize more glucose. Excessive blood sugar and insulin in the baby's blood will make the baby gain weight. High blood sugar in pregnant mothers can also lead to fetal growth restriction.

(2) The effect of targeting the mother is easy to abort in the early pregnancy, complicated with pregnancy-induced hypertension, infection and fetal macrosomia, which leads to difficult delivery.

(3) The impact on newborn babies may lead to neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal hypoglycemia and hyperbilirubinemia.

Second, the reaction of pregnant women with gestational diabetes?

(a), often feel thirsty Gestational diabetes and other types of diabetes, patients often feel thirsty, even after drinking water or when the body is not short of water, pregnant mothers with this situation need to pay attention, need to check whether the blood sugar is high.

(2) Always feel hungry. After pregnancy, in order to satisfy the nutrition of expectant mothers and babies, expectant mothers often feel hungry. If you feel hungry just after eating, you need to be alert to gestational diabetes.

(3) frequent dizziness. If the pregnant mother has gestational diabetes, the sugar intake in the body cannot be fully utilized. Always lack of energy supplement, it is definitely easy to get tired and dizzy. Therefore, when the expectant mother suddenly feels dizzy and weak, then you need to check your blood sugar.

Third, it is so easy to suffer from gestational hyperglycemia during pregnancy. How to prevent it?

(1) Eat properly, and don't take the baby as an excuse to eat and drink, resulting in excessive nutrient intake. Excessive nutrition may lead to the accumulation of fat and sugar in the body, leading to the increase of blood sugar, and then gestational diabetes. It is necessary to have a balanced nutrition, not overeating, eat more vegetables, fruits and coarse grains in flour and rice, reduce the intake of sugar, and arrange the diet reasonably.

(2) Proper exercise If you can't sit during pregnancy, don't touch it. Don't do it if you can lie down. Not exercising is not good for your health and is not conducive to your baby's growth. Expectant mothers should exercise properly and don't do too strenuous exercise, such as walking, yoga, swimming and other sports suitable for pregnant women. Moderate exercise can reduce body fat accumulation and prevent gestational diabetes.

Gestational diabetes affects so much that expectant mothers must check according to the doctor's prenatal requirements. It can't be said that high blood sugar means high, and it is good for children to grow up. This idea is not allowed. After all, it has a great impact on mother and baby, so we can't take the risk.
