Expecting Mothers, Be Aware! Gestational Diabetes
Many first-time mothers often seek information about symptoms they may experience during pregnancy. These symptoms vary for each person, and diagnosis by a specialist is always the most accurate and reliable way to understand your condition.
.
Today, we’re sharing insights about gestational diabetes, a condition that can occur at any stage of pregnancy. It is most often diagnosed between the 24th and 28th weeks. The cause is high blood sugar due to the body’s inability to produce enough insulin. This can harm both the mother and the baby—potentially leading to birth defects or even loss of life.
Risk Factors
- Family history of diabetes
- Overweight before pregnancy
- Higher than normal blood glucose levels
- High blood cholesterol levels
- Pregnant mothers aged 35 and above
Gestational diabetes often presents no visible symptoms. However, it can sometimes be detected through signs such as increased hunger and thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. These are similar to symptoms of high blood sugar. The best approach is to undergo a gestational diabetes screening.
