Common Pregnancy Complications

Gestational diabetes develops when your body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands of pregnancy. It affects about 10 to 15 percent of pregnancies and requires dietary management or medication.

Preeclampsia involves high blood pressure and protein in the urine after week 20. It can progress to life threatening eclampsia if not managed. Regular blood pressure monitoring catches it early.

Placenta previa occurs when the placenta covers part or all of the cervix. It causes painless vaginal bleeding and usually requires cesarean delivery.

Other complications include preterm labor, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), ectopic pregnancy, and miscarriage.

Sudden swelling of the face or hands, persistent abdominal pain, decreased fetal movement, and leaking of amniotic fluid are all reasons to contact your doctor urgently.

Management depends on the specific complication, its severity, and the gestational age. Gestational diabetes may need only dietary changes, while some cases require insulin.

Preeclampsia management includes blood pressure medication, close monitoring, and planning for delivery at the right time. Severe cases may require early delivery to protect both mother and baby.
