Pregnancy Info - 28 weeks

mak yong @ 7 months preggy.. comel kan... ;p

Some mums-to-be can suffer from gestational diabetes, causing high levels of blood sugar. Your doctor will screen you regularly for sugar in your urine, but if you’re at higher risk you’ll be given a screening test around 28 weeks. If you do develop diabetes during pregnancy, you can control the symptoms with a combination of healthy eating and regular exercise. You may also be given medication to take.


If you’re RhD-negative you’ll be given an anti-D injection at 28 weeks. This helps to prevent the problems that can cause anaemia, jaundice, liver and heart failure in babies in subsequent pregnancies.

Did U Know?

It’s a good idea to eat oily fish such as mackerel and sardines during pregnancy to get a healthy intake of omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to be important for your baby’s brain development. You shouldn’t eat more than two portions a week though, because pollutants from the sea can build up in the fish and aren’t safe in larger amounts.
