Patient's question:
Yesterday while at work, I heard a colleague say that her sister is now about seven or eight months pregnant and has very high blood sugar. What are the dangers of high blood sugar during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
There are many dangers of high blood sugar during pregnancy. The second is an increased risk of premature birth. The third is an increased incidence of fetal malformations. In the early stages of pregnancy, it can affect the development of the fetal nervous system. The second is an increased risk of difficult labor. Elevated glucose levels during pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal macrosomia, thereby increasing the risk of difficult labor. Additionally, the incidence of fetal hydrocephalus also increases significantly. Therefore, controlling blood sugar during pregnancy is very important.
