Special Issue on Complications of Pregnancy

Complications of Pregnancy is an academic topic that focuses on different conditions or factors that can arise during pregnancy, potentially impacting the health of the mother and fetus. It involves the study of various medical, physiological, and obstetric complications that can occur throughout the course of pregnancy. This field explores a wide range of pregnancy-related complications, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, placental abnormalities, fetal growth restriction, preterm labor, and multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins or triplets). It also encompasses conditions that can develop during pregnancy, such as maternal infections, maternal mental health disorders, and maternal medical conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases. Research in this area aims to understand the causes, risk factors, mechanisms, and potential interventions for such complications. It explores the impact of these conditions on maternal and fetal health and investigates strategies for prevention, early detection, and management of pregnancy complications. Overall, studying the complications of pregnancy is crucial for advancing medical knowledge, improving maternal and fetal health outcomes, and guiding clinical practices to provide the best possible care for pregnant individuals and their babies.
