There are some other things such as neonatal jaundice, neonatal knee distress syndrome, neonatal hyperinsulinemia and so on that are caused by gestational diabetes .

So the baby can be born healthy, as well as their own body, pregnancy sugar control this matter to pay attention to it!

Lastly, I would like to recommend a recipe for controlling sugar during pregnancy

I am an older woman, 38 years old.

I am 38 years old and I have a special label on my little book that reminds the doctors that I am a special person.

Because of my age, I have gestational diabetes, which was detected during a glucose test.

The doctor asked me to hang up with the nutrition department, and the nutrition doctor took out all kinds of models and told me how much of each kind of food I could eat, and printed out a recipe for me, telling me to eat according to it.

Finally, when I left, the doctor said, your age pregnancy blood glucose this is already very good.

Since then, I've been doing fasting and postprandial blood glucose monitoring every day in strict accordance with the form given by the doctor at the maternity checkup, and I've been filling in the form strictly and conscientiously.

How scary is high sugar?

High sugar babies can become huge, I strictly control the diet, gave birth to a baby 7.6 pounds.

High sugar is easy to amniotic fluid excess, the doctor image described, other people's babies swimming in a bucket, my baby swimming in the pool, in fact, this is not good.

40 weeks the baby did not move, the normal doctor will let you go back to continue to wait for the baby to start, but I am gestational diabetes, the doctor will be directly into the ward, the infusion of baby start.

40+2 without any movement of the baby, cesarean section.

My real-life example tells you that sugar control is really, really important, and it's necessary to pay strict attention to it.

Sugar control during pregnancy is of course important, a friend of mine who was pregnant at the same time did not have good sugar control in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, and as a result did a lot more tests, and finally the baby was too big and was forced to have a cesarean section, and now the baby is one year old and the body has not recovered well.

My friend, the expected date of birth and I differed by 10 days, so we often communicate with the baby indicators, we see the same doctor in the maternity examination.

By the middle of her pregnancy, her blood sugar was starting to get a little high, and the doctor offered to let her control it by eating less sweets. However, she is particularly fond of fruit, and especially superstitious eating grapes will make the baby's eyes big, eat a lot of grapes.

As the age of the first child is more than 30, coupled with high blood glucose, no mid-pregnancy, each time she needs to hang up the nutrition, obstetrics and endocrinology , bouncing between a few departments waiting to see the diagnosis of this is very hard, not to mention more than a lot of tests more cost.

Even so, her sugar control journey did not go well, by the time the late pregnancy, the fetus has been obviously very large, 36 weeks, the doctor said that the weight of the fetus has been more than eight pounds, if the full-term birth, want to smooth delivery is basically difficult. She was already physically weak, was bent on having a normal delivery, worried about cesarean section poor physique, but However, the child is indeed relatively large, coupled with her high blood sugar and blood pressure, and ultimately in the 39 + 5 when the cesarean section, under a eight pounds three two baby.

As a result of the cesarean section, the damage to the vital energy is still relatively large, so far the baby has been more than a year old, her body is still very weak, did not recover, a while ago to meet and chat, she regretted this, said that if I had known that I would have eaten fewer grapes, eaten so much, the baby's eyes did not have a big.

My road to sugar control

I was pregnant 8 months when the check is also high blood sugar, urine test when there are three plus , the doctor told me clearly, if not control, the late baby will be bigger, and also every time you have to draw more blood plus blood glucose test.

For the whole pregnancy blood tests, I was scared to death, plus I myself is an older first-born, so I really do not want to face a C-section. You are dutifully listening to your doctor and start controlling your sugar.

On the eyelids eat less pasta, rice, etc., originally loved to eat grapes, cantaloupe and other sugary fruits, and then changed to eat small tomatoes, fruit cucumbers and other fruits that do not contain high sugar . It is indeed very tasteless, but for the sake of the baby, for their own sake, still insisted on it. By the 9th month of pregnancy the blood sugar was finally normal. You want to check that the baby is still relatively large, if you want to give birth, there is still a possibility in the critical value of the advice, or try to control the diet, so in the whole nine and a half months, I basically did not eat every day, in a state of a little bit of starvation, the good thing is that the baby estimated that the weight did not increase, and ultimately gave birth to a smooth 7.3 pounds of babies, the body doubly great.

Now that I'm post-partum, my body has recovered a lot, and I'm basically back to my pre-pregnancy body type, so I'm grateful for my self-discipline.

Let me share my real experience.

When I was pregnant, I misheard a lot of rumors, saying that what eat more grapes to give birth to a child's eyes will be very big, eat more fruits children born with good skin ...... I did not get pregnant when I love to eat fruits, pregnant husband to see that I like to eat fruits, will be every day to prepare fruits in the house.

Until the sixth month of pregnancy to do sugar screening test, I was deducted "gestational diabetes" hat.

My family thought that the hospital must be fooling pregnant women, because I was thin, in their impression, diabetics are obese, and this kind of thing in the old country is not even mentioned.

But the doctor was very clear that if you don't control your blood sugar properly during pregnancy, then both the pregnant woman and the child will be affected, and not only will the child be at risk for macrosomia, but the child's physical function will also be affected, which is also very unfavorable to the pregnant woman.

So I began the journey of self-testing my blood sugar by sticking my finger five times a day.

It's a real pain in the ass.

In addition to the five times a day, you also have to walk half an hour after meals. I've been going out on my own for half an hour every day with a big belly.

And also have to control the diet, fruit control in a small fist size amount, porridge, pasta can not eat to eat. Eat more green vegetables and lean meat, do not eat fat, do not eat high-calorie food, diet less oil, less salt, light and tasteless ......

I felt at that time in order to baby, when the mother's really too difficult. Once I was really craving, I ate a small bowl of noodles, and my blood sugar spiked, scaring me so much that I didn't dare to go back to eating.

So I summarized an experience, like my normal blood sugar, but gestational diabetes during pregnancy, is definitely too much to eat in the pre-pregnancy of high-sugar things, such as fruit, pasta, white porridge, white rice ...... If the entire pregnancy can not eat more of these, eat a little bit of everything, are nothing to eat more, in fact, blood sugar It is possible to control it.

Then I went to weigh myself on the days I was about to give birth, and I didn't realize that I had only gained 14 pounds during the entire pregnancy, and the child was born with 6 pounds, and it was a good birth.

I think I did a good job of controlling my blood sugar in the second trimester, because I passed several tests later, and there was no major problem. But the lesson I learned from this is not to eat too much fruit at once during pregnancy, especially high sugar ones like grapes, which can spike your blood sugar in minutes!

I was hospitalized at that time, there are two other mothers in the ward, they are also the birth control, but they are because of gestational diabetes, this disease to be hospitalized, insulin lowering glucose, diet also need to pay special attention to the amount of staple food at each meal are strictly controlled, I remember that the two mothers are often hungry, but the doctor does not allow more staple food. Therefore, it is very important to control sugar during pregnancy, otherwise if you really have gestational diabetes, you will not only have to be hospitalized, but also have to be more careful with your diet, which is not good for the fetus. The doctor will advise you to control your weight and sugar intake every time you have a late-pregnancy checkup.

If you don't control sugar during pregnancy, you really have gestational diabetes, and the probability of giving birth to a huge child is very high! And because of gestational diabetes caused by a huge child, the fetus is very dangerous at birth. Because the fetus is in a high blood sugar environment for a long time, the pancreas is very active, which is easy to cause its delivery of low blood sugar, if not good energy supply, is likely to damage the fetal brain. Moreover, these babies have a higher chance of developing hypocalcemia and erythrocytosis.

Eating fruit during pregnancy must pay attention to, I know a maternal, she took the fruit as a meal, because of the pregnancy appetite is not good can not eat anything else, the result of the sugar overload, got gestational diabetes, and finally had to be hospitalized to reduce sugar. Therefore, during pregnancy, fruit can not be eaten vigorously, because fruit sugar is very high. Eat some low sugar fruit, such as tomatoes, pomegranates, and cucumbers can also be eaten as fruit, lower sugar content, but also refreshing.

In addition, chocolate, cream and so on these, do not intake too much, occasionally eat to relieve a craving can be.

For the baby, sugar must be controlled! After all, nothing is more important than the safety of the baby.

Pregnant in the hospital to check the body, who knows but found out that high blood sugar, because the beginning and not very high, so the doctor did not recommend the use of insulin, and then began to control the diet, pay attention to exercise, every day in the worry of gestational diabetes people eat what good. Eat anything do not dare to put sugar, sweet is not dare to touch, and then bought a blood glucose tester in the hospital, every day to measure blood glucose, (said every day to tie the finger is really too heartbreaking) the following is my own summary of experience, is a diabetic pregnant women recipes, the baby can refer to the next mother:

1, rest time, breakfast is at seven o'clock, breakfast is in the nine to ten o'clock, twelve o'clock lunch, three o'clock in the afternoon, hungry to eat! The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the color of the skin and the texture of the skin, and the color of the skin. I have never paid attention to the rest of the diet time, young mothers must have the same feeling with me, this is a great influence, have to pay special attention to.

2, diet, the old family is such a custom, during pregnancy to eat more nutritious things, good for the baby, so no matter what, as long as the nutritional value of the high has been eating (the old generation has not heard of any gestational diabetes, always think that the big fish and meat is good for the body, so every time you can not bear to refuse, but after finding out that the diabetes in the doctor's advice, finally correct this idea). (After the detection of diabetes, under the advice of the doctor, finally corrected this idea) later in the hospital nutrition department to consult the high blood sugar pregnant women how to eat, because I myself prefer to eat sweets, do not eat cravings ah! But for the baby's health and their own body, endure, must endure.

3, the main control is the staple food, rice, steamed bread, etc. to eat as little as possible, do not eat, change the consumption of more vegetables, meat, eggs more (remember to overdose), eat more grains, each meal should be timed and quantitatively less fried, spicy and other oily foods (also prevent acne Oh), usually hungry when you can properly eat some fruit, such as: dragon fruit, apples, oranges, pineapple, strawberries. Kiwi and so on, these are more water, low-calorie fruit. (Note: the time to eat fruit as much as possible to choose between the two meals when the blood sugar trough)

The doctor prescribed the following recipes for pregnant women:

Breakfast: 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., a glass of milk, an egg, Baer cookies two to three.

Chinese food: 11 to 12 o'clock, mixed grain rice two two, vegetables two two, meat one or two 15 grams of oil, you can add some appropriate soy products.

Lunch: 2:30 to 3 o'clock, Baar cookies 2-3 pieces, an apple.

Dinner: 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., the general dinner can eat more vegetables, increase dietary fiber. Like I like to eat leeks, zucchini, winter squash, bok choy, eggplant. Better like tomatoes, lower sugar content can be used as a fruit and can be used as a vegetable. I don't know if there are any baby moms like me like to eat rice, but after pregnancy, the doctor suggested eating less rice, steamed bread, which can be difficult to die.

Late night: 9:00 p.m. a cup of plain milk, a slice of oatmeal bread or two cookies.

The beginning of the first may not feel great, adhere to a week or so the effect is more obvious, every day you can also find some time to exercise, such as walking, slow walking, walking.

In addition to prepare some milk, yogurt, bread, cookies, etc., hungry can eat some pad, sometimes how hungry more powerful, you can choose to eat some fruit, dietary control, coupled with appropriate small exercise, can help blood sugar control, after meals, walk Walking Yoyo, is a very good exercise. Usually choose some low GI sugar-free food, such as the above mentioned Baer cookies, although not compared to the drug can be directly lower sugar, but the dietary fiber can be converted into part of the body sugar absorption, play an indirect role in reducing the efficacy of blood glucose, that is, rest assured and safe.

Two weeks later, the glucose screening review, the morning fasting glucose 4.9, one hour after the meal 8.0, two hours 6.3, oh yeah!

After the follow-up into the maintenance period, the morning bar cookies to reduce the amount, can be appropriate to add some meals, in fact, diabetes is not so serious disease, good control does not need to worry about anything, the above is my own experience, there is no logic, if there is like me, high blood sugar mom can look at, I hope that you can help, and finally I wish you all can give birth to a healthy and healthy baby.

How does gestational diabetes occur? The placenta is the energy and nutrient transportation channel between the mother and the fetus, but at the same time can produce some hormones and various factors that prevent insulin from working properly, called insulin resistance. Although the pregnant mother's organism produces more insulin on a compensatory basis, it still cannot maintain normal blood glucose levels. After 24 weeks of pregnancy, insulin resistance begins to increase and blood sugar begins to be abnormal, so screening begins at 24 weeks of pregnancy.

What are the serious risks of gestational diabetes?

It can cause excess amniotic fluid and urinary tract infections in pregnant mothers. It can also lead to poor embryonic development, macrosomia, hypoglycemia after birth, respiratory distress syndrome, and so on. Once you have a history of "gestational diabetes", you will get it again with each subsequent pregnancy.
