Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease that is very easy to get during pregnancy. Once pregnant women suffer from GDM, it will not only affect their own health, but also have a great impact on the fetus, and sometimes even lead to abortion. Only by mastering some knowledge about gestational diabetes can pregnant women find symptoms in time and then give the most correct treatment.

1, increased food intake

If you have diabetes during pregnancy, one of the most common symptoms is that you often feel hungry, which will greatly increase the food intake of pregnant women. However, it is often overlooked that pregnant women eat too much, because people think that it is normal for one person to eat two people's meals, but it may also be a symptom of gestational diabetes.

2, easy to get thirsty

When you first get diabetes during pregnancy, the most common symptom is thirst for no reason, which can't be alleviated even if you drink water all the time. Once you find this unprovoked thirst, you must be vigilant, because it is probably a symptom of gestational diabetes. If you drink too much water during pregnancy, the phenomenon of frequent urination of pregnant women will be more serious.

3, no skin disease, but especially itchy.

If you have diabetes during pregnancy, you are likely to have itchy skin. Often when your skin itches, it won't be accompanied by any skin diseases. Once this happens, you must pay attention to it, because you are likely to have gestational diabetes.

4. Very tired

After pregnancy, many pregnant women will feel particularly tired, which is normal, but sometimes this particularly tired feeling may also be caused by gestational diabetes, so once you find yourself particularly tired during pregnancy, you must observe whether you have the above three symptoms. If you have one of the other three symptoms besides fatigue, you must pay attention, because you are likely to have gestational diabetes.

Once you get diabetes during pregnancy, it is harmful. If you get diabetes just after pregnancy, the embryo mortality rate will increase greatly, which is likely to lead to abortion. In addition, the incidence of gestational diabetes macrosomia will increase greatly, so it is easy to have dystocia or birth canal injury. There is also a great harm to gestational diabetes, that is, the fetal malformation rate will be much higher than that of ordinary people.
