Abstract:
The prevalence of medical problems in pregnancy is increasing because of a complex interplay between demographic and lifestyle factors, and developments in modern medicine. Women are delaying childbearing until later in life. Now a day’s women are more likely to have acquired medical disorders, such as hypertension (PIH) and jaundice; they are also at higher risk of gestational diabetes (GDM), cardiac disease and anemia. Medical and surgical advances have enabled women to become pregnant despite having chronic conditions that would previously have precluded pregnancy.
