What are the effects of diabetic pregnancy on the fetus?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The impact of diabetes on pregnant women primarily depends on the severity of diabetes itself and its complications. High blood sugar levels can easily cause fetal hypoxia in the womb. Due to excessively high sugar content in amniotic fluid, it may lead to polyhydramnios, and it also increases the risk of miscarriage. Postpartum infections are often more severe.
