pregnancy complications

Pregnancy complications encompass a broad spectrum, from gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders to preterm labour, placental dysfunction, and fetal growth restriction, requiring close obstetric monitoring and specialised management. Advances in prenatal screening, biomarker-guided risk stratification, and maternal-fetal medicine have improved outcomes for high-risk pregnancies. Emerging research addresses the systemic cardiovascular and metabolic sequelae of pregnancy complications persisting beyond delivery.
