My name is Hannah Bajor the Pregnancy Super Coach with
over twenty years in the field taking care of women before, during
and after their pregnancy.
Lets look at pregnancy complications. Well, first
of all we have to clarify that there is minor symptoms associated
with pregnancy, which would be heartburn, nausea, vomiting, leg
cramps, backache, fatigue, and tiredness. They are pregnancy
symptoms and called minor disorders of pregnancy.
The other category that we are here to talk about
is pregnancy complications. That means that something has gotten
wrong in your pregnancy, which puts you into the risk of category
high-risk pregnancy.
Complication of pregnancy would be as follow. You
could have high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, which means
diabetes associated with pregnancy. You can have anemia, you can
have heart flutters, heart murmurs. You could have severe gastritis
or vomiting. You could end up with a medical problem like I have
often seen someone that has appendicitis or rupture of appendix.
Anything basically that is going to end up with the probability of
putting you into the hospital is classed as complication of
pregnancy.
So, that is on the mom side. Other complications
by the way of pregnancy would be urinary tract infection because
that could put you in preterm labor. Vaginal infections, other
infections you could get like such as catching a severe chest cold,
again it could put you into pregnancy complication category. It just
depends on what the disease is.
Now, you look at the baby side of it, what sort
of pregnancy complication can happen for the baby. Well, first of
all, you could be in early pregnancy, there could be a threatened
miscarriage, means that you have not actually miscarried, but your
body is showing signs of miscarriage, so it is threatened to abort,
threatened to lose, that is a complication.
Other complications as far as the baby goes are
bleeding issues such as having placenta previa, means that the
placenta, the organ that grows the baby, is not in the right
position, that it is over the neck of the womb.
Another complication you can get as far as the
placenta go is a placenta abruption meaning that the placenta has a
bleed behind it and it could be an active bleed, very critical or it
could be a slow bleed and just a blood clot forms there.
Other problems, complications that you might have
in pregnancy as far as the baby goes would be that the baby is not
growing in size. Or the baby has an abnormality. There is not enough
water around the baby, so many things could go wrong in this class
of pregnancy complications.
Now, my advice for you is a lot of these
pregnancy complications could have been prevented if the mom was
much more educated and informed about your pregnancy. So, my advice
is preventing complications happening in the first place by reading
about pregnancy, being informed. Because the more informed you are
the smarter choices you make and then the likelihood is that you are
going to run into less problems.
I would like to invite you over to my Web site
where I have lots of facts, lots of information about pregnancy that
can prevent maybe some of the complications that have some potential
to happen to every single pregnant mom.
