Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, in the late stage of pregnancy, ventricle enlargement of the lateral ventricle should not exceed 12MM, which is considered normal. The current condition can be monitored first, and it is within the normal range. If it exceeds 16MM, it indicates hydrocephalus, which can affect the intellectual development of the fetus. If necessary, induction of labor can be considered.Generally, doctors recommend that patients with signs of gestational diabetes risk maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
