Get used too much sugar during pregnancy

We’ve long known that women with gestational diabetes put themselves and their babies at risk of several complications and lifelong problems, but a new study shows that women with glucose levels that are within the normal range, but on the high side, may also be at risk. About 4 percent of pregnant woman in the US—or 135,000—are diagnosed with gestational diabetes each year. The disorder allows excess glucose to cross the placenta, putting the baby at risk of being born too large (a risk for cesarean section), as well as for developing obesity and diabetes later in life. It can also increase a woman’s own risk of weight gain, diabetes, and cancer.

The new study, reported at last month’s meeting of the American Diabetes Association, tracked 25,000 pregnant women over seven years and found that the current threshold for “normal blood sugar” levels may be too high. When women had blood sugar values that were within the upper end of the normal range, there was an elevated risk of the problems I mentioned above that are typically associated with gestational diabetes. Stricter guidelines are clearly in order to lower risk to you and your baby.

I recommend that you err on the side of caution, and request a blood test for glucose, called HgA1C (also known as “glycosylated hemoglobin"), which provides an estimate of your average blood sugar. Typically, women are tested for blood sugar problems during the 28th week of their pregnancy—following a drink of an overly sweetened beverage called a glucose challenge. Don’t wait until 28 weeks, but request this inexpensive blood test when you’re having blood drawn for other prenatal tests—typically around the second prenatal visit. If the number is in the high end of the normal range or above normal, request a referral to a registered dietician so that you can learn ways of improving your diet to lower your risks to yourself and your baby.

First trimester screening in pregnancy

Doctors can make a Down syndrome diagnosis for a baby while the mother is still pregnant. Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome in the baby. In the past, mothers were given the choice of having tests to determine if their baby might have Down syndrome. Mothers over 35 are particularly at risk to have a Down syndrome baby. Today most mothers, especially mothers over 35, are strongly encouraged to have the first set of tests, called screening tests, to see if there is any risk of Down syndrome. This article discusses the types of screening tests that are available and the next steps an expectant mother should take if the screening tests indicate a Down syndrome diagnosis.

Knowing you have a healthy baby as early in your pregnancy as possible can significantly ease your worries and stress. And, if there is a problem, it’s better learning this early on, no matter what you decide to do about it. In the past, women had to wait until the second trimester to have an amniocentesis to test for Down syndrome. But in recent years, first trimester screening involving a simple blood test of several hormones and a non-invasive ultrasound, has become available. The combination of these tests detects about 75 percent of fetal problems. When they’re followed by second trimester testing, the detection rate is above 95 percent.

Though the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists now recommends first trimester screening for all pregnant women, many doctors still don’t offer it to their patients. Since it is fairly new, some may not know about it and others may not be trained to do the ultrasound, but some don’t offer it for ideological reasons—they don’t want the patient to consider terminating the pregnancy. A new study of over 38,000 pregnant women determined that all women should undergo first trimester testing, and when the results suggest a woman is at high risk, she should then be offered a minor surgical procedure involving a needle biopsy of the placenta (chorionic villus sampling or CVS) for confirmation or reassurance. This combination of universal screening followed by the CVS in those with a positive test is called contingent sequential testing. All of this should be completed before the twelfth week of pregnancy as it is in other Western countries like England.

The problem is, only 10% of people have easy access to CVS, so some drive to other cities to get it or others wait until they can do an amnio. I urge patients to ask their doctors about first semester screening—the more women who ask, the more doctors will be pressured into offering this important screening and as the demand for CVS increases, it will become more readily available as well.

Antidepressants and women pregnancy

Even before Tom Cruise provided his unsolicited “medical advice” to Brooke Shields on her depression during her pregnancy, the antidepressant-pregnancy debate has been a heated one dominated by emotion and opinion rather than science. This week, in The New England Journal of Medicine, two large studies provided reassuring evidence that some of the most popular antidepressants, called SSRI’s, do not pose a significant increase in the risk of birth defects. Although they did find an increase in a couple of malformations in patients who took Paxil, these were rare. Finally, these risks are limited to those taking antidepressants during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Yet despite the good news, the New York Times peppered their report with words of caution, and neglected to provide any information on the risks of not treating depression. The latest evidence shows that the risk of untreated depression is clearly greater than the risk of several of these SSRIs. Here’s why:

When a pregnant woman is depressed, her stress hormones surge, increasing her risk of preterm labor and gestational diabetes. What’s more, several stress hormones cross the placenta where they can increase your child’s risk of developing depression and anxiety as well as learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. These risks need to be weighed against the risk of treatment—and this point is chronically absent from the debate and most media reports.

The bottom line: I urge you to track mood changes during your pregnancy. Take preventive steps including getting regular daily exercise and prenatal yoga, and take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement (DHA) which has antidepressant effects (and is great for your baby’s brain). If depression is getting worse, talk to your healthcare provider about treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and the use of these safe antidepressants. The NEJM studies support my own recommendation that Zoloft (sertraline) has the best safety profile—probably because it does not cross the placenta as easily as the others.
