News - Complications of pregnancy
The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine looks at pregnancy as a window for future health.
A novel therapy that reduces elevated blood levels of a potentially toxic protein in women with preeclampsia, a dangerous complication of pregnancy, may someday address the therapeutic dilemma posed by the condition – balancing life-threatening risks to the mother with the dangers that early delivery poses to an immature fetus.
A new study suggests that expectant mothers who have complications early on should be supervised more closely in current and future pregnancies.
Complications in early pregnancy or in previous pregnancies can predict the likelihood of further problems in current or subsequent pregnancies, according to research carried out by an international group of experts.
