2. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk Some women experience health problems during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and high blood pressure. Even women who were healthy before getting pregnant can develop complications. These complications may make the pregnancy a high-risk pregnancy. High Blood Pressure Gestational diabetes Preeclampsia Miscarriage Stillbirth Preterm labor

3. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk If a woman has high blood pressure before becoming pregnant, she will need to monitor and manage it the entire pregnancy, maybe using medication. Gestational hypertension is a term used to describe high blood pressure that occurs during pregnancy. Gestational hypertension typically manifests in the second part of pregnancy and disappears after birth.

4. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar (glucose) that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth. It can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but is more common in the second or third trimester. It happens when your body cannot produce enough insulin – a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels – to meet your extra needs in pregnancy. Gestational diabetes can cause problems for you and your baby during pregnancy and after birth. But the risks can be reduced if the condition is detected early and well managed.

5. Preeclampsia is a serious medical condition that can lead to preterm delivery and death. Its cause is unknown, but some women are at an increased risk. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk

6. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk The term "miscarriage" refers to a pregnancy loss that occurs naturally before 20 weeks. Vaginal spotting or bleeding, cramps, or the passage of fluid or tissue from the vagina are all indications. Vaginal bleeding, however, does not necessarily indicate that a miscarriage has occurred or is occurring. 9 Anytime during their pregnancy, women who notice this symptom should get in touch with their doctor.

7. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk Preterm labor is defined as labor that starts before 37 weeks have passed. Because organs like the lungs and brain finish developing in the final weeks before a full- term delivery, any infant born before 37 weeks is more likely to experience health issues (39 to 40 weeks).

8. A stillbirth is a pregnancy loss that occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy. Healthcare professionals are unable to determine the cause of the loss in about 50% of all reported cases. However, genetic abnormalities, placental complications, stunted fetal growth, persistent maternal health problems, and infection are all medical situations that can lead to stillbirth. 0116 278 9261 leicester@windowtothewomb.co.uk
