Good control of glucose levels, before and during pregnancy, can lower the risks. This allows too much sugar to go to the fetus. It can cause the fetus to grow too large. A too large baby is not always good and can make delivery difficult. For example, there may be problems delivering the baby's shoulders.
Preeclampsia is high blood pressure during pregnancy.
This can pose problems for the mother and the baby. It may require the baby to be delivered early. A woman with a mild form of preeclampsia may need to stay in the hospital so that she and her fetus can be monitored. Severe preeclampsia can lead to seizures. Hydramnios occurs when there is too much amniotic fluid in the sac surrounding the fetus.
