Special Issue on Complications of Pregnancy

Complications of Pregnancy are health problems that are caused by pregnancy. In the immediate postpartum period, 87% to 94% of women report at least one health problem. Long term health problems are reported by 31% of women. Severe complications of pregnancy are present in 1.6% of mothers in the US and in 1.5% of mothers in Canada. The relationship between age and complications of pregnancy are now being researched with greater impetus.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring complications of pregnancy. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Gestational diabetes
• Pelvic girdle pain
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Peripartum cardiomyopathy
• Hypothyroidism
• Miscarriage
• Ectopic pregnancy
• Placental abruption
• Vertically transmitted infection
• Complications following childbirth
• Incontinence
• Psychological trauma

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Complications of Pregnancy” should be selected during your submission.
