Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Pregnant women have an increased morbidity and mortality for certain illnesses owing to the physiologic and immunological changes in pregnancy. The most common complications include gestational diabetes mellitus, pre eclampsia, hyperemesis gravidum, infections, anemia. The management of women with these complications requires special attention and understanding the effects on pregnancy. To prevent these complications , pregnant women should be frequently monitored. Gestational diabetes mellitus carries an increased risk of metabolic disease in the mother and child. The gold standard treatment for gestational diabetes is insulin and oral hypoglycaemic agents(metformin, glyburide). Pre eclampsia is a multisystem disorder of unknown etiology usually associated with elevated blood pressure and proteinuria. Adequate and proper prenatal care is the most important part of management of pre eclampsia. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common lower genital tract syndrome in women of reproductive age. Urinary tract infections are one of the most common complications of pregnancy. When the lower UTI’s of asymptomatic bacteriuria and cystitis are not eradicated, the subsequent risk of the development of pyelonephritis is increased. Women often become anemic during pregnancy because the demand for the iron other vitamins is increased due to physiologic burden of pregnancy. The inability to meet the required level for these substances is either as a result of dietary deficiencies or infections give rise to anemia.
