Does high triglyceride levels during pregnancy affect the fetus?

During pregnancy, the changes in body indicators of pregnant women are undoubtedly different from those when they are not pregnant. After all, the physical fitness of pregnant women not only affects themselves, but also causes changes in body indicators due to the development of the fetus. Among the many indicator data of pregnant women, you must also pay more attention to the two indicators of total cholesterol and triglycerides. If there are excessively high data fluctuations, it means that there may be abnormalities in the physical fitness of the pregnant woman.

Changes in total cholesterol index values ​​mean differences in the details of the production of adrenal hormone, bile acid, estrogen and vitamin D, while triglycerides mean changes in the fat produced by vaseline and three oleic acids. During the period of rising index data, it is mainly based on the rising index data to determine whether there are abnormalities in the physical fitness of pregnant women. After all, the physical fitness of pregnant women will undoubtedly lead to symptoms of high total cholesterol and high triglycerides. Just because the index values ​​are high is not very scary, so if they are too high, liver and kidney function, urine routine tests and blood routine tests must also be checked at the same time.

When the total cholesterol and triglyceride levels of pregnant women are not alarmingly high, and if there are no abnormal fluctuations in other function indicators, there will naturally be certain abnormalities in the physical fitness of the pregnant woman and the development of the baby. However, if the total cholesterol and triglyceride indicators are too high, and other indicators such as kidney, blood test or urine test are also too high or too low, it means that the growth and development of the fetus will also be affected. Therefore, appropriate adjustments should be made according to the physical condition of the pregnant woman to avoid abnormal indicators in the body.

In general, high total cholesterol and high triglycerides in pregnant women should be divided into two aspects for corresponding treatment. If only these two indicators are simply elevated and the intensity is not large, no treatment or treatment is needed. If the increase in the values ​​of these two indicators is too large or there are abnormal fluctuations in other indicators such as blood tests, liver and kidney function, etc., corresponding adjustments to the physical condition are required.

2. What are the effects of high triglycerides in pregnant women on the fetus?

It is normal for pregnant women to have higher triglycerides. However, if it is much higher and accompanied by an increase in other indexes, you should pay attention, as the following effects may occur.

May cause miscarriage or stillbirth

Patients with high triglycerides and obesity may develop preeclampsia in the early stages of pregnancy. The incidence of pregnancy hypertension syndrome in obese people is also very high, which can easily lead to miscarriage and stillbirth.

Increase the probability of dystocia

High triglycerides cause obesity. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, the fetus may grow too large after absorbing a lot of nutrients from the pregnant mother, which will increase the probability of dystocia.

Affects the normal growth and development of the fetus

High triglycerides cause hyperlipidemia, and combined with elevated cholesterol, there is a high risk of gestational diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease during pregnancy, which will affect the normal growth and development of the fetus and cause deformities.

Tips

Regarding the increase in triglycerides, as long as the index is not very high and there is no increase or abnormality in other tests, there is no need to worry too much. The diet of pregnant women has higher requirements than that of ordinary people. If triglycerides increase significantly and other abnormalities such as cholesterol, uric acid, and blood sugar levels occur at the same time, the cause should be found out immediately, and the doctor's treatment should be received to ensure the health of yourself and your fetus as much as possible.
