Abstract
Pregnancy complications encompass a range of medical conditions that can arise during pregnancy, affecting the health of both the mother and the developing fetus. These complications can manifest in various forms, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, placental abruption, and premature labor, among others. The prevalence of these conditions can vary based on factors such as maternal age, pre-existing health issues, and socioeconomic status. Early detection and management of pregnancy complications are crucial for reducing adverse outcomes, including maternal morbidity and mortality, as well as fetal distress and developmental issues. This review highlights the most common pregnancy complications, their risk factors, clinical manifestations, and potential management strategies. Emphasis is placed on the importance of prenatal care, education, and interdisciplinary approaches to enhance maternal-fetal health. Furthermore, emerging research on the role of lifestyle interventions, nutritional support, and psychological well-being is explored as part of comprehensive care for pregnant individuals. The review underscores the need for continued education and awareness among healthcare providers and patients alike to optimize outcomes for mothers and their children. Pregnancy complications represent a significant challenge in maternal and fetal health, influencing outcomes for both mothers and infants. These complications can arise from pre-existing conditions, lifestyle factors, or arise de novo during pregnancy. Common complications include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm labor, each presenting unique risks and necessitating specific management strategies. This paper aims to explore the various types of pregnancy complications, their etiology, risk factors, and potential impacts on maternal and fetal health. Additionally, the importance of prenatal care and early detection will be discussed, highlighting the role of healthcare providers in mitigating risks. Understanding these complications is essential for developing effective interventions and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.
