What are the dangers of high blood sugar during pregnancy

Some pregnant women eat too much or consume too much sugar during pregnancy, which leads to high blood sugar during pregnancy. So what kind of harm will high blood sugar cause during pregnancy? What are the harms to the fetus? In fact, at this point, everyone can undoubtedly realize that high blood sugar during pregnancy is still a serious matter.

What are the harms of high blood sugar during pregnancy

1. It is easy to get diabetes again after giving birth

According to the results shown in relevant materials, pregnant women who have experienced gestational diabetes during pregnancy have a very high chance of developing type 2 diabetes within five to fifteen years after giving birth, about 40%-60%. Women who have not experienced gestational diabetes during pregnancy have a very low chance of developing type 2 diabetes, only 15%.

2. Risk of complications during pregnancy

If a woman unfortunately "offends" diabetes during pregnancy, pregnancy complications such as mastitis, gestational hypertension, and postpartum infection may follow.

3. Pregnant women have more amniotic fluid

If pregnant women suffer from diabetes, their amniotic fluid will increase, even 10 times higher than that of healthy pregnant women, which will cause placental abruption and premature birth, which is very harmful to the baby.

4. Difficult production

The whole process of delivery will be longer than that of ordinary pregnant women, and may continue to cause misfortunes such as dystocia and birth injuries to pregnant women, and the mortality rate of the fetus will also increase accordingly.

What are the harms of high blood sugar during pregnancy to the fetus?

1. The likelihood of having a very large baby increases four times.

2. The possibility of the baby being born with deformities is greatly increased.

3. The fetus may experience delayed language development and intrauterine distress in the womb, and may even develop hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

4. After birth, the child may develop hypoglycemia and a series of complications, such as total bilirubinuria, polycythemia, etc.

High blood sugar during pregnancy will not only have adverse effects on pregnant women, such as diabetes, pregnancy complications, increased amniotic fluid and difficult delivery, etc. It will also have a certain impact on the fetus, causing the fetus to be too large or deformed, etc. Therefore, if you want to get pregnant, it is best to maintain a moderate weight and pay attention to moderate sugar intake.
