Mothers in this world hope that their fetuses can develop normally and healthily, so when they learn that they have a disease, many mothers are worried that the disease will affect the fetus and choose to terminate the pregnancy. Now let's know: Can you still be pregnant with diabetes?
People with diabetes can get pregnant. However, compared to normal pregnant women, there may be many shortcomings. For example, during pregnancy, especially in the late stages of pregnancy, the fetus is prone to intrauterine distress and macrosomia. The microvascular disease of diabetes women can aggravate fetal hypoxia and severe intrauterine fetal death. The fetal mortality and malformation rate are mainly related to the blood sugar level during pregnancy.
If a patient with diabetes is pregnant, he should follow the doctor's instructions and check his blood sugar and urine sugar regularly. Those who have the conditions can purchase blood glucose monitors and urine glucose test strips on their own, monitor their blood glucose and urine glucose levels, and keep records as the basis for medication and adjusting medication dosage. They should also undergo regular obstetric examinations, engage in appropriate physical exercise, strictly control the intake of high calorie foods, eat less high-fat and high protein foods, and reasonably mix the proportion of vegetables, fruits, and beans in their food.
If the pregnancy is smooth, the diabetes is well controlled, the pregnant woman has no complications, and the fetal monitoring shows normal, you can wait for natural delivery; If pregnant women have lesions, induction of labor should be considered at 37 to 38 weeks of pregnancy. Pregnant women with diabetes need to understand the specific risks of pregnancy, the risks to the fetus, and how to control blood sugar before and during pregnancy.
