Im in my second trimester and feeling thoda weak in this heat, MIL keeps saying pi le glucose water. But i get confused with all the sugar warnings na. Is normal glucose ok or should i ask doc first?
Yes, you can definitely have a bit of glucose water if you are feeling low on energy. I used to have a glass of Glucon-D on hot summer days during my pregnancy and had a completely normal delivery, just don't overdo the sugar!
Actually, my doctor told me that while glucose water can give an instant energy boost, we shouldn't take it regularly without checking. If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes or high blood sugar, it's a strict no, so definitely get your blood sugar tested first.
Oh, from what I've heard, taking a little bit of glucose drink when you're feeling extremely tired or weak is okay, but it's best to be careful. Maybe u can ask your elder family members or a doctor just to be completely safe during this beautiful phase.
Haan na, pregnancy me dizziness or fatigue is so common, so having some glucose or Glucon-D water helps a lot. Just make sure your sugar levels are totally fine before drinking it regularly, ho na.
I used to overthink this so much because I was terrified of gestational diabetes! If you really feel dizzy, having a small amount of glucose is fine, but please make sure your blood sugar levels are normal and discuss it with your gynac first.
