Common Pregnancy Complications
Complication during pregnancy is more common than most people
think. Even for those who are healthy and have had children
before, early pregnancy complications could arise, at no fault
to anyone. This article explains some of these complications and
what to watch out for.
Early pregnancy complications
When you find you are pregnant, the first thing you must do is
go see your obstetrician/gynecologist. They will perform an
ultrasound to make sure that your pregnancy is advancing as it
should. Regular visits to your OBGYN will prevent early
pregnancy complications or at the very least, help identify them
at an early stage. The two most common pregnancy complications
are:
Ectopic pregnancies
Ectopic pregnancies are one of the most common early
complications. Ectopic pregnancies refer to pregnancies in which
the egg is fertilized outside the womb so the fetus begins to
develop in the ovary or in the fallopian tube. This can be very
dangerous not only for the fetus but also for the mother. If
surgery is not performed, the tubes could burst and result in
internal bleeding and in some cases, even death.
Miscarriages
Complication during pregnancy can lead to miscarriages, another
common early pregnancy complication. Sometimes the cervix can
open causing heavy bleeding with intense cramping pains. Other
times, the baby can die in early pregnancy. When this happens,
the mother can either wait for a miscarriage to occur or have a
D&C. There are many different complications during pregnancy
that can cause this to happen: blood clotting, infection,
structural problems, or lifestyle choices such as smoking,
alcohol or high caffeine intake.
High risk pregnancy
A pregnancy that is categorized as high risk is one which has a
higher chance of complications arising. You may be considered
high risk if you are
carrying multiple babies, have a long term
illness such as diabetes, or are over the age of 35. If you are
high risk, you may be asked to visit your obstetrician more
regularly as the pregnancy will need to be more closely
monitored than usual.
Pregnancy over 35
It is not uncommon for a woman's fertility to be affected over
the age of 30 and once you are pregnant, you must be aware that
it is more common for complications to arise. The chances of
your child bearing birth defects are significantly higher than
those women who are under 30 and miscarriages also become more
common in the first trimester of older pregnant women. For those
over 35, there will also be an increased risk of diabetes and
high blood pressure. Don't worry, as with today's technology,
almost all these complications can be treated as long as they
are spotted early on.
Multiple pregnancies
A multiple pregnancy is one in which there are two or more
fetuses. It's considered to be high risk because with more than
one fetus, it has a higher chance of developing complications.
Almost half of twins that are born are premature with extremely
low birth weights and underdeveloped organs. This makes them
very vulnerable and it is not uncommon for only one twin to
survive. Twins who share a placenta could result in high amounts
of amniotic fluids.
It is important to keep this information regarding early
pregnancy complications in mind during pregnancy and to
regularly consult your doctor.
