Question
My blood sugar has been unstable during pregnancy, and I am now 39 weeks pregnant. My blood sugar occasionally spikes once or twice. Will it lead to baby oxygen deprivation during childbirth?
Answer
Pregnant women with slightly elevated blood sugar, but not gestational diabetes, should pay attention to controlling their intake of sugar and starch foods. If they reach the standard for gestational diabetes, they should go to the hospital promptly to get medication to control their blood sugar.
