What are the hazards of diabetes in pregnant women? 1, hypoglycemia after birth
Maternal hyperglycemia urges the fetus to secrete too much insulin, but after delivery, the pregnant woman's blood sugar can no longer enter the baby's body, but the newborn still secretes a lot of insulin, resulting in hypoglycemia. Therefore, if a pregnant woman has gestational diabetes, the doctor will check her blood sugar within a few hours after the newborn is born.
2. Postpregnancy diabetes
For pregnant women with gestational diabetes, the more serious consequence is that diabetes still exists after delivery. About 2% pregnant women with gestational diabetes did not disappear after delivery. About 8% pregnant women with gestational diabetes have improved their diabetes after delivery, but their glucose tolerance is abnormal, that is, their blood sugar is higher than normal, but they do not meet the standard of diabetes. About 60% pregnant women with gestational diabetes disappear after delivery, and their blood sugar is normal, but diabetes may occur in their later years, especially those who are obese.
3. Huge children
Excessive glucose in the blood of pregnant women with gestational diabetes will enter the fetus through the placenta, which will make the fetus produce a lot of insulin to lower blood sugar. Hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia will lead to fetal weight gain, which will lead to macrosomia and increase the difficulty of delivery. Cesarean section is often needed.
Symptoms of gestational diabetes 1. Hunger: The early symptoms of gestational diabetes are the same as itchy skin. It's easy to be ignored. Pregnant women are one person's mouth and two people's appetites. So it's easy to feel hungry.
2, thirst: pregnant women are thirsty from time to time, and there is no reason. Then pregnant women should start to carefully observe whether there are other early symptoms of gestational diabetes.
3, itchy skin: this early symptom of gestational diabetes is particularly easy to be ignored. The skin is dry and itchy in winter. Mosquito bites itch in summer. So many pregnant women don't take itching seriously.
4, easy to feel tired: fatigue may be caused by diabetes, or it may be caused by fatigue. This early symptom of gestational diabetes mellitus cannot be used alone. But it needs to be used together with other early symptoms of gestational diabetes.
5, frequent urination: because thirst leads to an increase in drinking water, the number of times to go to the toilet will naturally increase.
6, dizziness: diabetic patients are prone to hypoglycemia symptoms. Some pregnant women will feel dizzy and even faint. At this time, you must go to the hospital to check your blood sugar.
