A”result, the risk of maternal chronic hypertension. You see, obesity is heart weight was too heavy. In addition, by increasing pressure on blood vessels of the fat,’’said Dr. Sofyan Okky cited Sp.OG Tabloid Nakita.
Someone said to hypertension if systolic blood pressure in the session that reach up to 140 mm Hg or more. During the diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg or more.
Symptoms are often created, dizziness, red face, headache, nosebleeds, and so on. Although many patients have no symptoms. Therefore, the only way to detect by examining blood pressure.
Not only. The possibility that the mother with diabetes has become too high. The deposition of fat in the body that the source of the offender is calorie is. ) The reason for the pregnancy hormones (beta-hCG / human chorionic gonadotropin, most of the fat in the body in the change of glucose.
”So you can imagine, have the amount of sugar that accumulated due to the amount of fat. The mother may have diabetes during pregnancy, gestational diabetes. This type of diabetes usually disappears after birth, and few are permanent. But is the negative impact of diabetes on the fetus a concern,’’said Okky.
The disease of diabetes, drinking Okky mothers of large babies (macrosomia) Score 4000-5000 g birth weight or do more. It could also, however, is the baby with low birth weight, ie born below the 2000-2500 grams.
Since blood vessels are narrowed by fatty deposits provide nutrients for the fetus to be reduced until the child can not grow optimally.
Another risk to the fetus suffered because of placental hypoxia, as a supplier of oxygen through the reduction of fat. Indeed, inhibition of this flow of oxygen damage to cells in the fetal brain.
Occurs during the period of this inhibition, the effect will be even heavier and more difficult to restore. Therefore, little intelligence is reduced.
A serious consequences, it is not impossible, the fetus died in utero due to intoxication. Another possibility is the weight of the lung by high maternal blood sugar.
They are”a few seconds after birth, babies with these disorders usually dead,”he said.
After birth, the light Okky various complications are still pending. The process of fault of the mother with OW (more weight, overweight may)) or obese (overweight increased the risk of bleeding. Since the process was not bleeding in pregnant women to perform optimally.
Disturbed reduce blood clots, which is useful, or stop the bleeding caused by the condition of blood vessels that are not ideal, either by accumulation of fatty deposits and cholesterol.
Based on experience with pregnant Okky OW and obesity are often also infected after birth. The other reason is that the number of blood vessels of the pregnant mother has been blocked.
Under these conditions, the wound was so excited and take longer. Since blood vessels is an important part of the Association of scar tissue entirely new. Meanwhile, the folds of the fat layer of skin is to create an enabling environment for the growth of germs. Not surprisingly, when the infection was a matter of time.
”That’s why women planning a pregnancy should be such that their weight is too high. It would be great if we manage your weight is a healthy weight. If the past would have had an ideal weight trying to maintain weight loss,”Okky advice.
Remember”in in the first quarter of weight gain was relatively low, never rising or even reduced because of nausea, vomiting disease. However, conditions in the Quarter 2 was and 3 differently, because most pregnant women experience significant weight gain,”he said.
