How to avoid “pitfalls” during childbirth with diabetes?
Childbirth with diabetes (gestational or pre-existing) requires special attention and is associated with risks for the mother (blood sugar fluctuations and complications) and the baby (large size, injuries, hypoglycemia, and breathing problems). The key condition for safety is strict blood glucose control before and during labor. It is important to give birth only in specialized perinatal centers. These facilities have an experienced team of doctors (obstetricians, endocrinologists, and neonatologists), the ability to continuously monitor the condition of the mother and baby, and neonatal intensive care. This makes it possible to detect and manage any complications promptly, ensuring the best possible outcome.
