Although frequent urination is a physiological phenomenon during pregnancy, many expectant mothers ignore this, but the phenomenon of frequent urination only occurs more frequently in the first and third trimesters, if the expectant mothers in the second trimester are still urinating, and the skin is also very dry, and even dehydrated, then expectant mothers can consider whether their blood sugar has risen.

Thirst: The second symptom of high blood sugar is that expectant mothers always feel thirsty, because the increase in blood sugar will produce frequent urination, and the increase in the number of urination will cause water shortage in the body, and the brain-to-be nervous system of the expectant mother will produce a feeling of thirst, which is different from the normal feeling of thirst, and expectant mothers should pay attention to distinguish.

3. Rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing: If the expectant mother always feels that the heart is racing and breathing is difficult, this should be considered whether it is caused by the increase in blood sugar value.

Generally speaking, there is no need to worry about the abnormal results of the first test, but if the results of the multiple tests are abnormal, then it is necessary to intervene in time.

7. Positive urine glucose test: Under normal circumstances, the sugar test in the urine test is negative, if it is positive, it means that there is a problem with the function of the pancreatic islets in the body, which leads to excretion with urine.
