Patient's question:
At first, I ate too much sweet food. Now at 20 weeks of pregnancy, I got gestational diabetes during the prenatal check-up. Does gestational diabetes affect the child?Doctor's answer:
The interference of gestational diabetes on children is related to blood sugar levels, control conditions, and the mother's physical condition. If blood sugar is unstable, it can lead to complications such as macrosomia (large fetus), miscarriage, or preterm birth. Additionally, it may increase the risk of the child developing organ malformations. The impact on children is a probabilistic event, and it cannot be clearly determined which specific complications may occur or in what form. Personal constitution and living conditions also play a certain role in this.
