Document Summary
Higher incidence of preterm delivery, gestational diabetes, and hypertension. Having 2 or more of these abnormalities increase risk of disease: Visceral fat produce inflammation and oxidative stress. Weight loss during pregnant decreases risk for large for gestational age infants but increases risk for small for gestational age and lowers duration of pregnancy. Weakness, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, after eating produced from rapid emptying of the stomach. Leads to thiamin, d, b12, iron and calcium deficiency. Decrease maternal complications in obese women before pregnancy. Chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and endothelium damage. Endothelium damage and oxidative stress = endothelial dysfunction (restricted placenta blood flow, increased blood clot, plaque) Present before pregnancy or before week 20. Blood pressure >140 mm hg systolic or >90 diastolic. Preterm delivery, fetal growth retardation, placenta abruption (separation of placenta from the uterus wall before delivery) Reduce salt intake *but not too excessive. Elevated blood pressure detected after mid pregnancy.
