Pregnancy Week 13

The start of your second trimester is the start of lots of new developmental milestones for your baby.

Nutrition Top Tip – week 13

Globally, the number of women with gestational diabetes (GDM) is increasing. If you have high blood glucose levels during pregnancy, you are more likely to have a large baby. Babies considered large at birth (> 4kg) have an increased risk of growing up to be overweight children.

If you are at risk, monitor your blood sugar level four times a day (your gynecologist will teach you how to do it) and consider supplementation with myo-inositol and probiotics.
