Weeks twenty four to twenty eight need you to perform some prenatal tests which are important and screen your glucose. This screening diagnoses if there is a chance of gestational diabetes – a momentary form of diabetes that is experienced by some expecting mothers during this period only but can cause some trouble in newly born babies like low blood sugar. Gestational diabetes also causes the baby to grow larger than it would be under normal circumstances, thus increasing the chances of the mother undergoing a cesarean section operation for delivering her baby. For the glucose screening test, you are made to drink a sugary solution and then a sample of your blood is taken. If your levels of blood sugar are really high, you are recommended further tests which you will be detailed about by your medical expert. Gestational diabetes can be regulated by controlling your diet and eating well planned and balanced food with some exercising. Sometimes medication might also help such as taking insulin on a daily basis.
