High blood sugar in the third trimester is harmful and may lead to stillbirth!

In recent years, the incidence of gestational diabetes is getting higher and higher, most pregnant women are prone to high blood sugar during pregnancy, and if there is high blood sugar during pregnancy, it is easy to bring harm to themselves and even the fetus, especially in the third trimester, if pregnant women have high blood sugar in the third trimester, it is easy to affect the fetus, and the following situations are particularly prominent.

What are the effects of high blood sugar in the third trimester of pregnancy on the fetus?

1. Let the fetus become macrosomia

When the blood sugar is too high in the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetus will absorb too much glucose, and if the glucose is too much, it will lead to the accelerated development of the fetus, and it is easy to have macrosomia, which will make it difficult for pregnant women to give birth, which will easily lead to dystocia.

2. Infection of the fetus

A pregnant woman's blood sugar level directly affects the fetus through the placenta, so if the high blood sugar of a pregnant woman lasts for a long time, the fetus is more likely to be infected, and if the fetus is infected, its development is prone to problems. In this case, the fetus is prone to organ malformations after birth.

3. Low blood calcium

If the fetus develops in a relatively high blood sugar environment for a long time, once it leaves the high blood sugar environment after birth and does not be able to replenish sugar in time, it will easily lead to the increase of red blood cells in the newborn's body, and it is easy to lead to the occurrence of low blood calcium.

Fourth, stunted growth

If the blood sugar of a pregnant woman in the late pregnancy is too high and not controlled, the body's metabolism will be disordered, once the metabolism is disordered, the metabolic balance of protein and fat in the body will be problematic, and it is easy for the fetus to be unable to absorb enough nutrients and have problems, in this case, it is easy for the fetus to be underweight and die directly after birth.

5. Let the fetus have malformations

Hyperglycemia can also affect the central nervous system of the fetus, which may lead to delayed development of the central nervous system, which in turn makes the development of fetal organs unable to proceed normally, and in severe cases, it can also lead to malformations.

Sixth, there is a stillbirth

In the third trimester of pregnancy, fetal fat cells, muscle cells and pancreatic cells are in the proliferation period, during this period, if the blood sugar of the pregnant woman's body is too high, it will cause the fetus to suffer from chronic hypoxia, which will lead to fetal asphyxia in the case of severe hypoxia.

Tips, because the incidence of gestational diabetes is getting higher and higher, pregnant women should pay special attention during pregnancy, control their diet and carry out appropriate exercises, in order to avoid their blood sugar out of control and cause gestational diabetes, resulting in great harm to the fetus, in addition, if gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy, the probability of the fetus suffering from diabetes in childhood will be higher than the probability of normal children, so pregnant women should pay special attention to controlling their blood sugar during pregnancy to avoid the occurrence of gestational diabetes.
