be careful! gestational diabetes Dangerous for both mother and child

      Gestational diabetes is one of the high-risk pregnancy conditions caused by placental hormones or chemicals that inhibit insulin, which controls blood sugar levels. It often occurs in pregnant women over the age of 35, those with a history of gestational diabetes, those who have given birth to a baby weighing over 4,000 grams, or those with a family history of diabetes. Expectant mothers should maintain normal blood sugar levels to avoid the risk of shock and potential fetal death. Here are the dangers to expectant mothers and their unborn babies:

• Congenital disabilities
• Increased risk of fetal death in the womb
• Various complications such as enlarged heart, jaundice, breathing difficulties, and low levels of blood sugar/calcium/magnesium
• Babies larger than normal, which can lead to delivery complications
• Increased risk of preeclampsia (Toxemia of pregnancy)
• Preterm birth due to excessive amniotic fluid
• Higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage
• Increased risk of miscarriage
• Mothers are more likely to develop diabetes again

      Gestational diabetes is dangerous for both the expectant mother and the unborn baby, particularly if diabetes develops during pregnancy. Therefore, immediate prenatal care is essential for diagnosis and risk prevention. Regular medical check-ups, strict control of diet, and sugar intake are crucial. Diabetic patients should consult with a doctor for pre-pregnancy planning and remain under close medical supervision.
