Mothers with PCOS are at higher risk
of spending time in the neonatal intensive care unit or dying before, during,
or right after birth. Complications of pregnancy associated with PCOS, such as
preeclampsia, could be a reason for these risks. Also, conditions common to
PCOS like metabolic syndrome .
Pcos and pregnancy includes :
1• Miscarriage or early loss of
pregnancy. Women with PCOS are three times as likely to miscarry in the early
months of pregnancy as are women without PCOS. Some research shows that metformin
may reduce the risk of miscarriage in pregnant women with PCOS. However, other
studies have not confirmed that metformin reduces miscarriage risk, so more
research needs to be done
2• Pregnancy-induced high
blood pressure. This condition is due to an increase in blood pressure that may
occur in the second half of pregnancy. If not treated, it can lead to
preeclampsia. This type of high blood pressure can also affect delivery of the
baby.
3• Preterm birth: Infants
are considered "preterm" if they are delivered before 37 weeks of
pregnancy. Preterm infants are at risk for many health problems, both right
after birth and later in life, and some of these problems can be serious.
4• Gestational (pronounced
je-STEY-shuhn-uhl) diabetes : This is a type of diabetes that only
pregnant women get. It is treatable and, if controlled, does not cause
significant problems for the mother or fetus. In most cases, the condition goes
away after the baby is born. Babies whose mothers have gestational diabetes can
be very large (resulting in the need for cesarean, or C-section [surgical],
delivery), have low blood sugar, and have trouble breathing. Women with
gestational diabetes, as well as their children, are at higher risk for type 2
diabetes later in life.
Researchers are studying
whether treatment with insulin-sensitizing drugs such as metformin can prevent
or reduce the risk of pregnancy problems in women with PCOS
Finally i want to say for every one : Think Positive ;)
