What should I do if my blood sugar is high after giving birth?

Having a baby is the happiest thing in a woman's life, because she becomes a mother directly, which not only means an increase in family members, but also means taking on the responsibility of being a mother. Women need to rest for a period of time after giving birth, which is called confinement. However, some pregnant women experience elevated blood sugar levels after giving birth. What should they do?

1. If a woman's blood sugar is high during pregnancy, it may be due to impaired glucose tolerance or gestational diabetes, which can easily lead to polyhydramnios and macrosomia. So you must actively control yourself. Generally speaking, a woman's blood sugar level will drop to normal levels after giving birth, but the probability of developing diabetes in the future will increase. So you should measure your blood sugar regularly.

2. If a female friend suffers from high blood sugar after pregnancy, she must pay attention to reducing the amount of food she eats. She can eat small meals frequently and try to eat less or no fruits with high sugar content. You can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as some whole grains to balance your nutrition during pregnancy. Don’t lie down too often in your daily life. You can do some housework within your ability, which can also lower your blood sugar level.

3. If your blood sugar is high during pregnancy, you must check your blood sugar regularly to control the increase in blood sugar. If the condition is more serious, you can control your blood sugar with medication to prevent it from getting worse. Also, you must relax and keep a regular schedule, don't be afraid of tension, and prevent uterine contractions from causing miscarriage or premature birth.

Please note that female friends must go to the hospital for prenatal check-ups regularly after pregnancy, so that they can understand their physical condition and the development of the fetus in a timely manner. If you find that your blood sugar is high, you must control your diet in time and measure your blood sugar regularly to prevent the condition from worsening. Also, you must maintain a good mood after pregnancy, and never fuss about trivial matters to prevent physical discomfort.
