What are the consequences of excessive sugar intake in pregnant women1

  If the pregnant woman takes too much sugar, she may have gestational diabetes. If the pregnant woman's blood sugar is not well controlled, the possibility of fetal malformation will increase, which may lead to too large fetus, an increase in the probability of perinatal death, fetal hypoglycemia, and birth mortality will increase. If pregnant women have gestational diabetes, they need to stay away from sugary foods.

  Sweet milk and ice cream, watermelon, pear, banana, as well as desserts and bread with high sugar content need to be noted. If the pregnant woman is in good health and has no other abnormal symptoms, she can eat sweets appropriately, but she should mix them reasonably and not eat too much at once. She should consider the health of the fetus and her own body.

  After pregnancy, pregnant women must go to the hospital on time for prenatal check ups. If any danger is found in the fetus, they must respond promptly and take measures to treat it. Pregnant women should have a diverse diet in order to prevent the body from lacking certain nutrients. Spicy, stimulating, and cold foods are not recommended during pregnancy, such as crabs and turtles.
