Some females develop preeclampsia at the time of their pregnancy and such women’s needed to be examined and monitor closely. The rise in blood pressure is also a complication among pregnant women during their pregnancy period.
Women who are suffering from gestational diabetes are at risk of delivering a larger baby than an average size baby. This problem can lead to shoulder dystocia during labour.
Having gestational diabetes could lead to you having a larger-than-average baby. This could lead to problems during delivery. For example, larger babies are more at risk for shoulder dystocia (when the baby’s shoulder gets stuck during labour).
