Common Pregnancy Complications
Overview
Pregnancy complications are more frequent than many realize, even among healthy individuals or those who have had children before. This article highlights some common complications and important warning signs.
Understanding Early Pregnancy Complications
Upon discovering you are pregnant, your first step should be visiting an obstetrician/gynecologist. They will conduct an ultrasound to ensure your pregnancy is progressing normally. Regular OBGYN visits can help prevent or identify complications early on. Two prevalent complications include:
Ectopic Pregnancies
Ectopic pregnancies occur when a fertilized egg implants outside the womb, such as in the ovary or fallopian tube. This condition is dangerous for both the mother and the fetus. Without surgical intervention, it can lead to ruptured tubes, internal bleeding, and in severe cases, death.
Miscarriages
Miscarriages are another common early pregnancy complication. Sometimes, the cervix may open, leading to heavy bleeding and intense cramping. Other times, the baby may not survive early in the pregnancy. Causes can include blood clotting disorders, infections, structural issues, or lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, or excessive caffeine.
High-Risk Pregnancy
A pregnancy is deemed high-risk if there is a greater likelihood of complications. Factors such as carrying multiple babies, having a chronic illness like diabetes, or being over 35 increase this risk. High-risk pregnancies require more frequent monitoring by your obstetrician.
Pregnancy After 35
Fertility can be affected after the age of 30, and pregnancies past 35 may have higher complication rates. The risk of birth defects is greater, and miscarriages are more frequent in the first trimester. Additionally, there is an increased risk of diabetes and high blood pressure. However, with modern medical technology, many of these issues can be managed if detected early.
Multiple Pregnancies
Carrying two or more fetuses is considered high-risk due to increased chances of complications. Nearly half of twins are born prematurely with low birth weights and underdeveloped organs, making them vulnerable. In some cases, only one twin survives. Twins sharing a placenta may also face excess amniotic fluid issues.
Conclusion
Being aware of potential early pregnancy complications is crucial. Regular consultations with your doctor are essential to monitor your health and manage any issues that arise.
