Patient's question:
Screening for gestational diabetes at 22 weeks—is it a bit too early?Doctor's answer:
The impact of gestational diabetes on the fetus is primarily to cause the fetus to be larger than normal or polyhydramnios, with no significant other effects. High blood sugar during pregnancy requires attention to avoid excessive sweet foods. Aim for a light diet. Avoid cold, raw, and irritating foods. Consume less high-sugar foods, such as watermelon.It is recommended that you pay attention to rest during pregnancy, enhance nutritional supplementation, control your diet, eat small meals frequently, undergo regular prenatal check-ups, and monitor the health of both the baby and yourself.
