After pregnancy, pregnant women need to undergo various examinations to understand their own and the health of the fetus, so that any problems can be dealt with in a timely manner. Everyone knows that during an ultrasound, one needs to hold their urine in order to see clearly. So what is the glucose test for pregnant women?
Pregnant women drink glucose for the purpose of glucose tolerance screening, which is a very important examination during pregnancy to know whether pregnant women have diabetes during pregnancy. If you have diabetes, you should pay attention to your diet during pregnancy. Don't eat foods with high sugar content. You should also check frequently, control blood sugar under the guidance of the doctor, and reduce the harm to the fetus. If there is no diabetes, you can eat normally.
Glucose tolerance screening is generally conducted between 24-28 weeks, and before the examination, pregnant women should have a normal diet. It has three results, including fasting blood glucose, blood glucose one hour after meal and blood glucose two hours after meal. No matter which one is, it should not exceed the normal range. Otherwise, it is pregnant with diabetes.
In addition to glucose tolerance testing, there are also important tests such as four-dimensional color ultrasound, chromosome analysis, and Down syndrome screening. If the pregnant woman's physical condition allows, she must make time to do them. In addition, in the later stages of pregnancy, pregnant women often experience premature rupture of amniotic fluid and vaginal bleeding, which is quite normal. Pregnant women need to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner, and prepare a delivery kit to prepare for delivery.
