hello...<br> please dont cry... its common these days..&nbsp; now start medicines and diet to control blood sugar level and it will not affect fetus if level is controlled...<br> The amount of calories you should consume each day depends on a number of factors, such as your weight and activity level. Pregnant women should generally increase their calorie consumption by 300 calories per day from their prepregnancy diet. We recommend three meals and two to three snacks per day. Eating smaller meals more frequently can help you keep your blood sugar levels stable. <br> Try to have wholegrain varieties where possible. They provide extra fibre, which is important for your digestion.&#160;Eating a good breakfast can help regulate your blood sugar levels throughout the morning. Try to have a low-GI breakfast. Porridge is a good choice because it releases energy slowly and evenly. Or you could choose wholegrain cereals and breads with a small portion of a high-protein food such as a boiled egg or a low-fat yoghurt.&#160;<br> High GI foods such as sugar-coated cereals or white toast and jam can quickly raise your blood sugar levels.&#160;Eat plenty of high-fibre foods. These foods tend to have a low GI. This may help to keep your blood sugar levels from going too high after meals. High-fibre foods include- fresh fruits and vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals, dried peas, beans and pulses.. Try to cut down, or give up, sweets, fizzy drinks, fruit juice, and most desserts. These foods contain simple sugars that are easy for your body to absorb. They can quickly raise your blood sugar.&#160;<br> You can dilute fruit juices with water. Use about one quarter juice to three quarters water, and drink once a day. The rest of the time, opt for water and other drinks without sugar, such as sugar-free squashes and flavoured drinks.
