What do I need to know about the first prenatal visit?

What are the risks of gestational diabetes for me and the baby?

Chuyên gia

If you have gestational diabetes, your baby may be at increased risk of: - Excessive birth weight. Higher than normal blood sugar in mothers can cause their babies to grow too large. Very large babies — those who weigh 4kg or more — are more likely to become wedged in the birth canal, have birth injuries or need a C-section birth. - Early (preterm) birth. High blood sugar may increase women's risk of early labor and delivery before the due date. Or early delivery may be recommended because the baby is large. - Serious breathing difficulties. Babies born early to mothers with gestational diabetes may experience respiratory distress syndrome — a condition that makes breathing difficult. - Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Sometimes babies of mothers with gestational diabetes have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) shortly after birth. Severe episodes of hypoglycemia may cause seizures in the baby. Prompt feedings and sometimes an intravenous glucose solution can return the baby's blood sugar level to normal. - Obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life. Babies of mothers who have gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life. - Stillbirth. Untreated gestational diabetes can result in a baby's death either before or shortly after birth.

What list of do's and dont's should I follow in my first pregnancy?

Chuyên gia

You should take folic acid, stay active and watch what you eat, be vaccinated for whooping cough and flu, and ensure you are in a healthy mental state. Later on in your pregnancy, you should monitor your baby's movements and sleep on your side. You should not be smoking, drinking alcohol, doing vigorous exercise and drinking too much caffeine.
