Does high ketone bodies affect fetal development?

Patient's question:

Does high urine ketone affect fetal development?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you are currently pregnant. If the pregnancy symptoms are severe and you cannot eat or urinalysis shows ketones, it is recommended to be hospitalized for intravenous fluids. It will not affect the fetus, so there is no need to worry too much. Generally, the symptoms will ease after the third month of pregnancy.
