What are the implications of metabolic conditions during pregnancy?
Metabolic conditions can significantly impact pregnancy outcomes. Women with diabetes need to carefully monitor and manage their blood sugar levels to prevent complications such as macrosomia (large baby), birth defects, and preterm birth. Thyroid disorders can affect fetal development and increase the risk of miscarriage. Proper management of these conditions before and during pregnancy is essential for the health of both the mother and the baby.
