Gestational diabetes occurs when glucose intolerance is first recognized during pregnancy. Risk factors include obesity, family history of diabetes, and previous large babies. The placenta produces hormones that help the fetus but make the mother more resistant to insulin. This can cause high blood sugar, especially after meals. Left untreated, it increases the risks of complications for both mother and baby like preeclampsia and having a large baby. Management involves blood sugar monitoring, medical nutrition therapy, exercise if approved, and possibly insulin to control sugar levels and minimize risks.
Gestational diabetes and other forms of diabetes that develop during pregnancy can lead to complications for both the mother and baby if not properly managed. Close monitoring of blood sugar levels and insulin therapy if needed are important for treatment. Babies may be born larger than normal or have other issues if the mother's diabetes is not well controlled during pregnancy. Care during labor and delivery and after birth also aims to prevent low blood sugar in both the mother and newborn.
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and genetic factors. It can cause high blood sugar levels that increase risks for both mother and baby. While clinical signs may not always be apparent, common manifestations include blurred vision, fatigue, frequent infections, increased thirst and urination, nausea, and weight loss. Risk factors include previous gestational diabetes, family history of diabetes, high-risk ethnicity, overweight, and advanced maternal age. Treatment focuses on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and possibly insulin to control levels. The goals are to promote healthy fetal development and prevent complications.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that is first diagnosed during pregnancy. It occurs when pregnancy hormones cause the body to become resistant to insulin, sometimes resulting in high blood glucose levels. Women with GDM are at risk of complications during pregnancy like macrosomia and preeclampsia. They are screened between 24-28 weeks and treated with diet, exercise, and sometimes insulin to control blood glucose. After delivery, blood glucose levels often return to normal, but women have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Strict glucose monitoring and control are important to prevent fetal and maternal complications of GDM.
This document discusses gestational diabetes, a form of diabetes that affects women during pregnancy. It is caused by pregnancy hormones blocking insulin's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Most women with gestational diabetes can control it through diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and medical treatment if needed. While it can increase risks for the mother and baby, managing the condition well can help avoid complications and allow for healthy deliveries. The key is keeping blood sugar levels within target ranges to support the baby's growth.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy due to impaired insulin secretion or action. It is usually diagnosed in the second or third trimester. GDM occurs when the placenta secretes hormones like hPL, HPGH, progesterone, and cortisol that increase insulin resistance and impair the pancreas' ability to produce more insulin to compensate. This leads to high blood glucose levels in both the mother and fetus, increasing risks for complications like macrosomia and hypoglycemia. Treatment involves glucose monitoring, medical nutrition therapy, and sometimes insulin to control blood sugar and minimize risks. After delivery, 50% of women with GDM are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes
Type II diabetes and gestational diabetes can be treated through nutritional management. Obese individuals have the highest risk of developing type II diabetes due to insulin resistance and metabolic alterations caused by excess fat accumulation. Nutritional therapy focuses on controlling blood glucose levels through moderate calorie, low-fat, high-fiber diets with balanced macronutrients. For gestational diabetes, nutritional management is similar but carb intake is slightly lower to prevent ketosis in both mother and baby. The goal is to support a healthy pregnancy and delivery for both.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops for the first time during pregnancy, when hormonal changes in the body affect insulin.
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy in women who have never had diabetes before. It occurs in about 5% of all pregnancies. If not treated, gestational diabetes can cause health problems for both the mother and fetus, such as delivering a large baby. Risk factors include maternal age over 25, family history of diabetes, and belonging to certain ethnic groups. Women are screened for gestational diabetes between 24-28 weeks of pregnancy through a glucose challenge test and glucose tolerance test if needed. Treatment may involve diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and possibly insulin.
Gestational diabetes is glucose intolerance that develops during pregnancy, affecting up to 90% of diabetes cases during pregnancy. It occurs most often in the second half of pregnancy and does not cause birth defects since it develops after organ formation. Risk factors include obesity, family history of diabetes, and previous large or problematic babies. Screening is recommended for all pregnant women even without risk factors. Gestational diabetes increases risks for both mother and baby, such as macrosomia, preeclampsia, and cesarean delivery. Treatment involves diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and possible oral medications or insulin.
Mrs. Heera KC Parajuli presented on continued nursing education about diabetes mellitus and pregnancy. She discussed that 1-14% of pregnancies are complicated by diabetes, with 90% being gestational diabetes mellitus. Nearly 50% of women with gestational diabetes will develop overt diabetes within 5-20 years. She provided an overview of the types and effects of preexisting and gestational diabetes on mothers and babies, including increased risk of complications. The presentation covered screening, management through diet, exercise and possible insulin, and obstetric management of gestational diabetes mellitus.
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and affects approximately 7% of pregnancies globally. It occurs when the placenta produces hormones that block the mother's cells from properly using insulin. This makes it difficult to control blood sugar levels and can threaten the health of both mother and baby if not managed. Women are screened and diagnosed with a glucose tolerance test showing high blood sugar. Treatment involves monitoring blood sugar, dietary changes, exercise and sometimes insulin to control levels and prevent complications like preeclampsia, macrosomia and future diabetes. After delivery, blood sugar levels return to normal in most cases but women have a higher lifelong risk of type 2 diabetes.
This document describes the case of a 41-year-old woman, Iman, who is 13 weeks pregnant with her tenth pregnancy. She has a history of gestational diabetes in previous pregnancies and is currently being treated for diabetes with insulin. She presented with high fasting blood glucose and symptoms of polydipsia, polyphagia, and mood lability. Her pregnancy is considered high risk due to her history of gestational diabetes and previous complications. She is being monitored closely and managed according to guidelines for gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth. It occurs in 2-10% of pregnancies due to hormonal changes reducing the body's ability to use insulin. While most women have no symptoms, screening tests are done between 24-28 weeks of pregnancy to check blood sugar levels. Eating a healthy diet and exercise can help manage gestational diabetes and reduce risks to both mother and baby like high birth weight or developing diabetes later in life.
Gestational diabetes occurs in approximately 5% of pregnancies and results in high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. It develops when the placenta produces hormones that prevent the mother's cells from properly using insulin. To manage gestational diabetes, patients must monitor their blood sugar levels, follow a healthy diet with balanced carbohydrate intake, engage in moderate physical activity, and potentially take insulin or other medications.

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It affects 3-5% of pregnancies. Prenatal management includes screening, patient education on diet, exercise, glucose monitoring and potential need for insulin or oral medications. Risk of gestational diabetes increases with obesity, family history of diabetes, and certain ethnic backgrounds. Good control is important to prevent risks to both mother and baby like preeclampsia, macrosomia and childhood obesity.
This document discusses diabetes in pregnancy. It begins by introducing diabetes as a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia that can be caused by lack of insulin or insensitivity to insulin. Gestational diabetes is defined as glucose intolerance first recognized during pregnancy.
The document then discusses how pregnancy affects carbohydrate metabolism. Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy initially facilitate maternal energy storage and later divert energy to the fetus as demand increases. This can precipitate glucose intolerance or diabetes in those with limited insulin production capacity. The placenta also causes insulin resistance in the mother to make more glucose available to the fetus.
The effects of diabetes on pregnancy are then reviewed. Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to complications for both mother and
This document provides information on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), including its definition, causes, physiological changes during pregnancy that can lead to GDM, effects on pregnancy, fetal and neonatal hazards, diagnosis, screening recommendations, treatment including medical nutrition therapy and insulin management, monitoring during labor and delivery, and postpartum care considerations. GDM is defined as glucose intolerance that begins or is first recognized during pregnancy and results from changes in insulin resistance and secretion during pregnancy. Left untreated, GDM can increase risks for the mother and fetus, so proper screening, diagnosis, and treatment are important aspects of prenatal care.
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy in women who did not previously have diabetes. It occurs in 3-10% of pregnancies due to increased insulin resistance caused by pregnancy hormones. Women with gestational diabetes have high blood glucose levels because their bodies do not produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes can lead to complications for both mother and baby such as macrosomia, increased delivery risks, and the potential to develop type 2 diabetes later in life. It is managed through lifestyle changes, medication including insulin if needed, and monitoring of blood glucose levels and fetal growth during pregnancy.

This document discusses diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. It defines diabetes and classifies its types. Gestational diabetes is the most common type seen in pregnancy, accounting for 90% of diabetes cases. Pregnancy increases the risk of developing diabetes due to placental hormones that cause insulin resistance. Screening and management of diabetes in pregnancy is important to prevent complications for both mother and fetus such as macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, and preeclampsia. Treatment involves diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and possibly insulin therapy.
1. There are four criteria for diagnosing diabetes: A1C ≥6.5%, FPG ≥126 mg/dL, 2-hr PG ≥200 mg/dL during OGTT, or random PG ≥200 mg/dL.
2. Lowering A1C below 7.0% can reduce microvascular complications and macrovascular disease.
3. Gestational diabetes is diagnosed using a one-step 75g OGTT or two-step 50g GLT and 100g OGTT, with defined plasma glucose thresholds.
1. Gestational diabetes is characterized by carbohydrate intolerance that begins or is first recognized during pregnancy. It can increase risks for both mother and baby.
2. It is diagnosed through screening tests such as a glucose challenge test and confirmed with an oral glucose tolerance test. Treatment involves diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and possibly insulin.
3. Complications for the mother include preeclampsia and infections. Complications for the baby include hypoglycemia, jaundice, and respiratory distress. Strict control of blood sugar levels can help reduce risks.

Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in pregnancy are defined, along with their signs, symptoms, and treatment. Complications of uncontrolled diabetes in pregnancy include birth defects, large baby, preterm birth, and pregnancy complications. Prevention includes healthy lifestyle before and during pregnancy.
This document discusses neonatal hypoglycemia, including its definition, causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment. It defines neonatal hypoglycemia as a plasma glucose level below 40 mg/dL. Causes include increased glucose utilization, decreased substrate availability, or both. Signs are non-specific and include jitteriness, apnea, and seizures. Treatment involves oral feeds, IV dextrose if needed, and medications like hydrocortisone or diazoxide for persistent hypoglycemia. Close monitoring of at-risk infants is important to prevent neurological damage from prolonged hypoglycemia.
Gestational diabetes (GDM) accounts for 90% of diabetes in pregnancy and occurs when a woman without diabetes develops high blood glucose levels during pregnancy due to insufficient insulin production. Women with GDM are at risk of complications like macrosomia. GDM is managed through medical nutrition therapy, exercise, blood glucose monitoring, and sometimes insulin or oral medications. Strict glycemic control is important for reducing risks.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is glucose intolerance that begins or is first diagnosed during pregnancy. The risks associated with GDM are similar to those with pregestational diabetes. Screening and diagnosis typically involves a 75g oral glucose tolerance test. Management of GDM focuses on achieving metabolic control through diet, exercise, insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents. Fetal surveillance is important during pregnancy and delivery should be monitored closely due to risks of complications. Postpartum care involves glucose monitoring and determining if diabetes persists after delivery.
This document provides an overview of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. It defines gestational diabetes as a metabolic disorder characterized by impaired glucose tolerance that occurs for the first time in pregnancy or worsens if preexisting. Risk factors, presenting complaints, diagnosis, management, and complications are discussed. Management involves frequent prenatal visits, a food plan, medical care including insulin therapy, monitoring during labor and delivery, and care of the newborn to address risks like hypoglycemia. Postpartum care and contraceptive options are also reviewed.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by low or absent insulin production. It is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. The main treatment is lifelong insulin therapy via injections or insulin pump to control blood glucose levels. Strict glucose monitoring and management of diet and activity is needed to prevent complications like diabetic ketoacidosis and maintain overall health. Sick day management may require increased insulin dosing and monitoring of blood glucose and ketone levels.

This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

2. INTRODUCTION
Diabetes is a disease characterized by the inability to produce or
use sufficient endogenous insulin to metabolize glucose properly.
This inability to metabolize glucose leads to altered metabolism.
Pregnancy is a diabetogenic stat. Metabolism of glucose, fats,
protein is altered & anti insulin forces are present. This may affect
the already altered metabolism.
3. DEFINITION
Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as carbohydrate
intolerance that is first recognized during pregnancy. Impaired
glucose tolerance & impaired glucose metabolism rate.
Impaired glucose tolerance is defined as a 2 hour postprandial
blood sugar level higher than 140mg/dl but lower than 200 mg/dl.
Impaired fasting glucose is defined as a fasting blood sugar level
that is 100 or higher but lower than 126mg/dl
4. RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
GDM
Previous large newborn(4 kg)
F/O DM and Glycosuria
Obesity
Un explained pregnancy wastage
Multiparity
Presence of Hydraminos
Previous newborn with congenital anomaly
Hypertension
Age more than 25 years.
Recurrent UTI.
H/O Traumatic delivery
5. CAUSES
Inherent in pancreatic inability to produce sufficient insulin to
transport glucose into the cells
Insulin deficiency may result from pancreatic beta cell damage,
inactivation of insulin by antibodies or increased insulin
requirements.
Type1 diabetes is a chronic auto immune disorders of the
pancreatic islets cells that develops in individuals who carry a
genetic marker.
Viral induced, immune stimulated antibodies against the beta cells
form This auto immune response causes gradual distribution of
the pancreatic beta cells
6. NORMAL PHYSIOLOGY
Pregnancy is a diabetogenic state characterized by mild fasting
hypoglycemia, post prandial hyperglycemia & hyperinsulinemia.
These changes occur to ensure a continuous supply of glucose to
the fetus.
Hyperinsulinemia: insulin production
Estrogen & progesterone stimulates pancreatic beta cells
hyperplasia. As insulin secretion is increased peripheral glucose
utilization is enhanced, leading to a decreased fasting blood
glucose level in the first trimester.
7. During the 2nd & third trimester, rising placental hormones increase
insulin resistance , decreased hepatic glycogen stores & an
increased hepatic production of glucose cause elevated post
prandial blood sugar levels.
This increased glucose presence further stimulates pancreatic islet
cell hypertrophy increasing insulin levels.

9. CHANGES IN CARBOHYDRATE
METABOLISM DURING PREGNANCY
PREGNANCY
Placental hormones + cortisol pancreas
(HPL,estrogen,progesterone,prolactin)
lipolysis
Free fatty acids Insulin
(Used for metabolism)
Glucose spared for fetus. Maternal blood sugar
Antagonism to insulin &
increase peripheral resistance
10. PATHO PHYSIOLGY
Diabetes mellitus is a systemic disorder of CHO,protein & fat
metabolism.It is characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from
inadequate production of insulin.Insulin produced by the beta
cells in the islets of langerhans in the pancreas, is responsible for
transporting glucose into the cells. When insulin is insufficient
glucose accumulates in the blood stream & Hyperglycemia
results.
11. MATERNAL RISK & COMPLICATION ON
GDM
Spontaneous abortion: It is related to poor glycemic control at the
time conception & early weeks of pregnancy.
PIH: Two times more frequently during pregnancy. Hypertension
& resultant vasospasm can be final blows to an already
marginally effective placenta.
Hydraminos(poly)-AF- more than 2000ml. 10 times more often in
diabetic pregnancies than in non diabetic pregnancies.
Hydrominos causing over distention of the uterus, increase the
risk of premature rupture of the membranes, preterm labor.
13. FETAL RISK ON MATERNAL DIABETES
MELLITUS
Macrosomia:Infant weight more than 4000gm occurs 25% -42%
pregnancies complicated by DM.The fetal pancreas begins to
secrete the insulin at 10-14 weeks gestation. The fetus responds to
maternal hyperglycemia by secreting large amount of insulin
(Hyperinsulinism).Insulin acts as a growth hormone causing the
fetus to lay down excess stores of glycogen, protein, adipose
tissue leading to increased fetal size. These infants are considered
as large gestational age.Macrosomia is associated with
dystocia,often resulting vaginal birth(Episiotomy&
forceps).responsible for increased C.S.
14. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
Glucose tolerance test: This is usually done using a 50gm oral
glucose challenge test at week 24-28 of pregnancy. After the oral
50 gm glucose load is ingested, a venous blood sample is taken
for glucose determination 60 minutes later. If the serum glucose
level at I hour is more than 140mg/dl. The women is scheduled
for a 100gm, 3 hour fasting glucose tolerance test. If two of the 4
blood samples collected for this test are abnormal or fasting value
is above 95mg/dl.
15. 1-h (50 gm GLUCOSE CHALLENGE TEST)
Negative less than 140mg/dl plasma glucose positive more than & equal to 140mg/dl
Routine AN care 3-h (100gm) GTT
Retest if glucosuria risk factors Negative positive for GDM
For GDM arise
Retest at 32 weeks if only one value two or more plasma value
Is elevated or any Risk factors of GDM present
16. Oral glucose challenge test
Test type pregnant glucose level
(mg/dl)
Fasting 95
1 hour 180
2 hour 155
3 hour 144
17. MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL OF
GESTATIONAL DIABETES
Screening 50 gm GCT
greater than & equal to 7.8 mmol/l (140mg/dl)
OGTT-Diagnostic
Normal Abnormal
Sugar profile
Normal Abnormal
Diet alone Diet & insulin therapy
Monitor weekly sugar profile
18. MANAGEMENT--ANTEPARTUM
GLYCEMIC MANAGEMENT
Maintain fasting blood glucose levels between 60& 90 mg/dl.
Maintain glucose level before lunch & dinner between 60& 150 mg/dl.
Bedtime glucose between 90&120mg/dl
Keep 1 hour post prandial glucose levels between 100 & 120 mg/dl.
19. INSULIN THERAPY
Early in pregnancy, a women with diabetes mellitus may need
less insulin because the fetus is using so much glucose for rapid
cell growth.
Late in pregnancy, she will need an increased amount because her
metabolic rate & need increase.
Women with Gestational diabetes mellitus will be started on
insulin therapy if diet alone is unsuccessful in regulating glucose
values.
The type of insulin is usually short acting insulin (Regular)
combined with an intermediate typing
20. CHANGES IN INSULIN NEED DURING
PREGNANCY
S.NO TRIMESTER INSULIN NEED COMMON PROBLEM
1. First Decrease 10% -25% to avoid
hypoglycemia
Blood sugar very
unstable.
Nocturnal
hypoglycemia
common.
2. Second 18-24 week Daily insulin requirement increase
gradually. Typically over pregnancy
baseline Type 1-increases 10-
20%,type-2 increases 30%-90%
3. Third
36 week of gestation
Labor & delivery
Post partum
0.9-1.2 units/kg/day
Insulin level plateau& may slightly
decrease.
In active labor may decrease
Decrease markedly related to loss of
Related to diminished
responsiveness to
insulin.
22. BLOOD GLUCOSE MONITORING
A Women typically uses a finger stick technique using one of her
fingerstip as the site of lancet puncture.
She places a drop of blood on a test strip. The strip is then
inserted into a glucose meter that determines the glucose level.
A fasting blood glucose level below 95-100mg/dl2 hour post
prandial level below 120mg/dl .
When a women discovers that hypoglycemia is present she
should ingest some form of sustained carbohydrate such as milk&
crackers.
23. DIET
The pregnant women with pre gestational diabetes has probably
had nutritional counseling regarding management of diabetes.
Dietary management during diabetic pregnancy must be based on
blood glucose levels.
The diet is individualized to allow for increased fetal 7 metabolic
requirement s, with consideration of such factors as prepregnancy
weight & dietary habits, overall health ,ethinic background & life
style changes, stages of pregnancy ,knowledge of nutrition &
insulin therapy.
24. DIETARY MANGEMENT OF DIABETIC
PREGNANCY
Follow prescribed diet plan.
Eat well balanced diet, including daily food requirements for
normal pregnancy.
Divide daily food intake among three meals & 2-4 snacks
depending on individual needs.
Eat a sustained bedtime snack to prevent a severe drop in blood
glucose level during night.
Limit the intake of fats if weight gain occurs too rapidly.
Take daily vitamin & iron as prescribed by health care provider.
25. EXERCISE
Exercise for pregnant women with pregestational diabetes
mellitus
Exercise plan are individualized & should be monitored by the
health care provider.
Select exercises that are enjoyable to foster regularly.
Exercise does not have to be vigorous to be effective
26. HEALTH EDUCATION-PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
Physical activity increases insulin receptor sensitivity by
counteracting the hormonal changes that accompany pregnancy.
Performing 15 to 20 minutes of armchair exercises daily during
routine sedentary activities, such as watching television or
reading.
Can help a pregnant woman reduce hyperglycemia without
increasing the risk of inducing uterine contractions.
27. INTRAPARTUM
Preterm labor:-It is treated with magnesium sulfate because beta
sympathomimetic agents can interfere with glucose control.
Corticosteroids:-If corticosteroids are used to enhance fetal lung
maturity, two doses of 12 mg dexamethosone are administered
orally 24 hours apart. Double the total insulin dosage on those 2
days & monitor blood glucose every 4 hours. Supplement with a
short acting insulin as blood sugar levels indicate.
Goal of insulin management during labor:-Maintain plasma
glucose between 102-90mg/dl.
28. PARAMETERS TO BE KEPT IN MIND
DURING LABOR
Vaginal delivery is usually preferred
C.S for routine obstetrical indication more than 4.5 kg fetus.
Unfavourable condition of the cervix---C.S
Euglycemia should be maintained during labour.
Maternal hyperglycemia in labour cause fetal hyperinsulinemia
and worsen fetal acidosis.
29. MANAGEMENT OF NEWBORN
50% of macroscopic infants observed hypoglycaemia (blood glucose
level< 40mg/dl).
It starts after the cord is clamped due to exaggerated insulin release
secondary to pancreatic beta cell hyperplasia and also there is an
increased risk if blood glucose during labour and delivery exceeds
90gm/dl.
STEPS OF CONTROL OF HYPOGLYCEMIA:
Encourage early BF
If Newborn is symptomatic, give a bolus of 2-4 ml/kg. 10% dextrose
IV.
Check after 30 minutes and start feeding.
IV dextrose 6-8 mg/kg/mt infusion.
Check for calcium, if there are seizure/RDS/Irritability
Examine the infant for other congenital abnormalities.
30. NEONATAL COMPLICATION
Polycythemia and Hyperviscosity due to increases erythropoiesis secondary to fetal
arterial hypoxemia secondary to Hyper insulinemia, shift blood from placenta to fetus
during Hypoxia.
Hypercalcemia---due to functional hypoparathyroidism and Hypomagnesemia
s/s---Irritability, tremor, tongue thrusting,Apnea, seizure.
Hypermagnesemia due to maternal hypomagnesemia increases renal loss with
glycosuria.
Hyperbilirubinemia due to polycythemia , increased extra vascular hemolysis, delayed
oral feeding, liver immaturity.
Hypertrophy congestive cardiomyopathy resolve bt 8-12 weeks, asymptomatic.
RDS--- delayed fetal ling maturity(glucocorticoid effect), prematurity, increased
incidence of C.S
