After pregnancy, the hormone level in the mother-to-be's body has changed, and the immunity has also decreased a lot, and many times, if you don't pay attention, the problem will come to the door.
Confessions of a "sugar mom"
In the first few months of pregnancy, my appetite was particularly bad, although not like other expectant mothers always morning sickness, but also what taste can not smell, often feel disgusting, especially the taste of stir-fry, oil smoke, smell is even more unbearable, that time, can only eat some cakes, chocolate pie and other things every day, although the reaction to nausea during pregnancy eased a lot, but the blood glucose index increased.
At that time before doing sugar, just made an appointment to do four dimensions, but the baby is very uncooperative, the first time I looked, the baby only left us a small back, and then I checked it on the Internet, said that it was to eat a piece of chocolate, more walks on it, so my husband went to buy me a piece of chocolate, and after eating it, he successfully passed the four-dimensional examination.
However, when I went to do glucose tolerance the next day, I was not so optimistic, and the results of the test showed that my glycemic index exceeded the standard.
Since then, many things have not been eaten, my favorite cakes, chocolates, ice cream, are all prohibited, and even juices are only allowed to drink on important occasions such as dinners.
Fortunately, my "miserable" life did not last long, and I had another blood glucose check when I was about six or seven months pregnant, and through these months of good control, my blood sugar was finally normal.
Since then, our whole family has really breathed a sigh of relief.
During pregnancy, "sugar mothers" should pay attention to these two points
During pregnancy, if the mother-to-be checks the blood glucose index is high, then it must be noted to control the glycemic index from the following two aspects.
1. Reduce the intake of foods with high glycemic index in diet
The first thing "sugar mothers" need to pay attention to is their own dietary problems, such as rice, noodles, cakes, rice porridge, roasted sweet potatoes and other foods with high glycemic index, at this stage, try to eat less or do not eat, it is best to do thick and thin, nutritional balance.
Expectant mothers can eat more coarse grains, greens, meat or other foods with low glycemic index, such as black rice, quinoa, soba noodles, apples, strawberries, cherries, lean meats and other foods, which are all good choices.
2, do some exercise in moderation can help adjust blood sugar
Although expectant mothers during pregnancy are not suitable for doing some strenuous exercise, low-intensity exercises such as daily walking, brisk walking, yoga or swimming can help "sugar mothers" better control sugar!
The diet structure is unreasonable, the family has a history of diabetes or has a history of bad pregnancy and childbirth expectant mothers may have a high blood glucose index risk, so such mothers must pay more attention to their own physical condition, once there is too much amniotic fluid during pregnancy, the fetus is too large, the weight growth rate is too fast, etc., it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time and explain the situation to the doctor, so as not to adversely affect the health of themselves and the fetus.
