After pregnancy, women need to supplement their nutrition, eat more than before, and blood sugar will increase significantly. This is all normal.
But for the health of themselves and the fetus, they need Be careful about the increase in blood sugar. If it is not controlled in time, it will continue to rise above the normal standard, which will make the pregnant woman's metabolism difficult, lead to gestational diabetes, and harm the fetus.
About gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes is diabetes caused by the increase of blood sugar during pregnancy. It is related to the age, weight, genetics and other factors of pregnant women. Regardless of whether the glucose metabolism before pregnancy is normal or not, it may be ill. In this way,
will make invisible diabetes become dominant and overt diabetes aggravated.
If you want to know if you have gestational diabetes, you must first know the normal standard value of blood glucose during pregnancy:
blood glucose value when fasting: 3.1-5.1mmol/L;
1 hour after meal blood glucose needs to be less than 10.0mmol/L;
after meal The 2-hour blood sugar needs to be less than 8.5mmol/L.
If you find that your blood sugar level exceeds the standard, you must be vigilant, go to the hospital for examination in time, and cooperate with the doctor's diagnosis and active treatment. This is really no small matter.
What are the hazards of gestational diabetes?
One. For pregnant women themselves,
is 4 times more likely than ordinary pregnant women to suffer from pregnancy-induced hypertension. It may also cause problems with amniotic fluid and affect fetal development. In severe cases, hypoxia may suffocate and cause stillbirth.
In addition, pregnant women with gestational diabetes have a certain chance that even after delivery, there are still problems with glucose metabolism, or even long-term diabetes.
Two. Data surveys on fetus
show that the increase in blood glucose during pregnancy will increase the abortion rate of the fetus by 15%-30%, and the probability of premature delivery is much higher than that of ordinary pregnant women. If you are more careful, the fetus can also develop normally to the expected date of delivery, but the high-sugar physique of pregnant women will make the fetus grow into a huge baby, and an oversized body can easily cause dystocia.
In addition, women with high blood sugar are also prone to uterine weakness during delivery, resulting in prolonged labor and hemorrhage may be higher than that of ordinary women. After
is born, babies are also prone to respiratory distress due to obesity, which is 6 times more likely than ordinary children.
Of course, the arrival of high blood sugar in pregnancy is also a sign. If abnormal physical behavior is found during pregnancy, it may be that the blood sugar has exceeded the standard. You need to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
represents four kinds of body signals that pregnant women's blood sugar has exceeded the standard:
1, often thirsty
In order to get enough amniotic fluid in the womb, you need to drink a lot of water every day during pregnancy to meet the requirements.
If the pregnant mother finds that she is thirsty very quickly, she is still thirsty after drinking more than 1L of water a day, or she can’t quench her thirst no matter how she drinks, then she needs to consider whether she has gestational diabetes.
This is because the blood sugar in the human body rises above the standard, and the osmotic pressure of the blood will also increase, resulting in a decrease in free water in the body. Therefore, the brain mistakenly believes that the body has insufficient water and keeps sending the signal to drink water.
2, the appetite is abnormally large, easy to be hungry
It is normal to eat after pregnancy than before, but if you feel very hungry just after eating, this is not normal. Most of it is due to gestational diabetes, which prevents insulin secretion as usual and cannot digest glucose in meals in time.
In this way, the brain will think that the body is not full, and will signal the pregnant mother to eat.
3, frequent urination
Generally healthy pregnant women urinate about ten times a day, and the total urination volume is around 800-2000ml. If you exceed this range, you need to be careful if you have gestational diabetes.
Because blood sugar increases, the excess sugar excreted by the body will also increase. One of the manifestations of
suffering from gestational diabetes is that pregnant women urinate more than 20 times a day and urinate more than 3000-4000ml.
4, itchy skin
After finding itchy skin, you must first rule out skin allergies. If not, it is likely to be caused by high blood sugar.
Pregnant women's blood sugar exceeds the standard, and sweatExudation of the skin can cause bacteria to grow and cause itching; or it can cause the surface of the skin to be dehydrated and feel itching due to dryness.
The harm of gestational diabetes should not be underestimated. In order not to hurt yourself and the fetus, expectant mothers must control them in time.
How to control blood sugar during pregnancy?
mainly needs to do three things: exercise, calm the mind and control meals. Everyone knows that
1, sports
, walking around in a good outdoor environment after a meal, or doing maternity yoga, maternity gymnastics, etc., are all good choices.
However, the physical condition during pregnancy is special, so it is best to have family accompany you, and it is easy to deal with unexpected situations.
2, tranquil mood
is very simple, human emotions affect the secretion of hormones in the body, but also affect blood sugar.
Under normal circumstances, blood sugar will rise when you are angry. Therefore, to control blood sugar, you must maintain a happy mood and peace of mind. This requires the joint efforts of pregnant women and their families.
3, meal control
The principle of scientific diet is high protein, low fat and low carbon water.
Therefore, mothers-to-be should refuse foods such as fried chicken, burgers, chocolate and fruit drinks, and foods with high starch content should also be avoided, such as rice, pasta, etc. Eat less, eat more oats and red rice.
For fruits, do not eat those with high sugar content, such as lychees, grapes, watermelons, etc. Low-sugar fruits such as grapefruit and kiwi can be eaten, but not excessive.
Eat more meat, fish, milk, and grains to supplement high-quality protein and dietary fiber.
writes at the end
after pregnancy, you should always pay attention to your own health, and you must not ruin your body for a moment of appetite. As long as you do more sugar control work in general, you can basically avoid gestational diabetes.
However, if you find that the body has the abnormal conditions mentioned above, you must seek medical treatment in time and control it in time. Don't take it seriously.
