Background and Aims: Maternal hyperglycemia during the first trimester of pregnancy is frequently associated with the appearance of maternal and fetal complications. The aim of our study was to analyze the influence of the first trimester blood glucose on the glycemic values from the second and third trimester and on fetal birth weight. Material and method: We performed an observational study on a group of 46 pregnant women who finally delivered on due date. We determined glycemia values in the first and third trimester of pregnancy while an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) was performed during the second trimester (24 - 28 weeks of pregnancy). We divided the pregnancies in two groups: with normal glucose or hyperglycemia during the first trimester. Finally we analyzed the influence of first trimester hyperglycemia on different maternal characteristics and on fetal birth weight. Results: Third trimester glycemia was significantly increased in women with first trimester hyperglycemia in comparison with the control group (p= 0.04) but no effect of the last on OGTT values was recorded. The ROC curve for the influence of first trimester glycemia on fetal macrosomia had an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.551. Conclusions: Firsttrimester glycemia has a low diagnostic accuracy in the appreciation of fetal macrosomia risk.
