Gestational diabetes mellitus flowcharts
The flowchart for screening, diagnosing and referring of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus has been updated to reflect that screening for high risk women should ideally be after 13 weeks gestation.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is the leading cause of hospitalisation during early pregnancy, and second to premature labour as the leading cause overall during pregnancy. HG usually extends beyond the first trimester and may resolve by 21 weeks; however, it can last the entire pregnancy.
Severe HG is often associated with:
loss of greater than 5 percent of pre-pregnancy body weight (usually over 10 percent),
dehydration,
nutritional deficiencies,
metabolic imbalances,
severe fatigue and debility,
depression/anxiety and trauma,
premature labour/delivery, and
adverse fetal complications.
Emerging evidence has found a genetic association predisposing women to HG and children born to mothers diagnosed with HG, are more predisposed to autism spectrum disorder, learning difficulty, depression, anxiety and processing disorders.
May is HG awareness month, NSW Health used the awareness day on Sunday 15 may to highlight awareness of HG on their Facebook page and launched a dedicated webpage to educate professionals and the public about HG.
The NSW Health Guideline Identification and Management of Nausea & Vomiting in Pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum is due to be published and will ensure clear management and treatment pathways. SESLHD aim to develop models of care that integrate hospital, community and primary care pathways to optimise treatment that suits the needs of the community and hospital service.
SESLHD project lead Joanna Pinder can be contacted with any questions regarding care of women with HG. Joanna Pinder can be contacted via email at joanna.pinder@health.nsw.gov.au
