What are the harms of high copper levels in pregnant women?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Blood test during pregnancy revealed elevated copper levels. Upon reviewing relevant literature, there is no clear evidence of copper's teratogenic effects. You do not need to be overly anxious, nor should you take any medication indiscriminately. The early stages of pregnancy are a sensitive period for embryonic development, but after three months, organs have largely formed, and the risk of teratogenic effects becomes significantly lower. Please undergo regular prenatal examinations to monitor the intrauterine development of the fetus.
