INTRO:
Pregnancy is a transformative and beautiful journey, but it can also be
accompanied by a range of complications that pose risks to both the mother
and the developing baby. These complications often require vigilance,
prompt medical intervention, and a multidisciplinary approach to ensure
the best possible outcomes for both.
One of the most common complications is gestational hypertension or
preeclampsia, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and
damage to organs, usually occurring after the 20th week of pregnancy.
Preeclampsia can lead to complications such as fetal growth restriction,
premature birth, and even maternal and fetal mortality if left untreated.
Gestational diabetes is another notable pregnancy-related complication,
affecting approximately 10% of expectant mothers. It occurs when the body
cannot effectively regulate blood sugar levels during pregnancy, leading to
potential birth complications, like excessive birth weight and a higher risk
of developing type 2 diabetes later in life for both the mother and the baby.
Below is a detailed assessment of various pregnancy complications and their
treatment methods.
