Pregnancy Complicated by Gestational Diabetes

When a pregnant woman is first told she has diabetes, she has gestational diabetes. Like other kinds of diabetes, gestational diabetes changes how your cells use sugar. When you have gestational diabetes, your blood sugar is too high. This is bad for you and your baby.

It can be scary when something goes wrong during pregnancy, but there is good news. Gestational diabetes can be controlled during pregnancy by eating healthy foods, staying active, and, if needed, taking medicine. Taking care of your blood sugar can keep you and your baby healthy and make it easier for you to give birth.

If you get gestational diabetes while pregnant, your blood sugar usually returns to normal soon after you give birth. Those who have had gestational diabetes are more likely to get type 2 diabetes. More often, your blood sugar levels will need to be checked.

Faqs

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, including preeclampsia and preterm labor. However, with proper management and care, most women with gestational diabetes can have a healthy pregnancy and baby.

At Kotpal Hospital, Dr. Arati Kotpal and her team provide comprehensive care and support for women with gestational diabetes. This may include regular blood sugar monitoring, nutritional counseling, and medication management to help regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, Kotpal Hospital offers fetal monitoring to ensure the baby's health and well-being throughout the pregnancy.

Managing gestational diabetes during pregnancy involves making certain lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and monitoring blood sugar levels. Dr. Arati Kotpal and her team at Kotpal Hospital can provide guidance and support in making these changes, as well as offering medication or insulin therapy if needed. It's also important to attend all prenatal appointments and follow the care plan developed by your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible outcomes for both mother and baby.

Prenatal Services

The term "prenatal care" refers to the medical care that is provided to a pregnant woman. Pregnant women and their babies can benefit from prenatal care beginning as early as possible and continuing throughout the pregnancy. When you visit the doctor regularly, any problems can be found and fixed as soon as possible.

How often you get prenatal care will depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy and how likely you are to have problems. Routine prenatal care for a healthy woman between the ages of 18 and 35 is as follows:
• For the first 32 weeks, every 4 or 6 weeks.
• Every two or three weeks from week 32 to week 37.
• From the 37th week until birth, every week

If your pregnancy is high-risk, your doctor may ask you to come in for checkups more often.

In a lifetime, women experience various biological and psychological changes, including pregnancy. Kotpal Maternity Hospital is well-equipped with multispecialty disciplines to provide superior and comprehensive care for all areas of women's and infants' health.
