Pregnancy is surely the best emotion in a woman’s life, but it comes with it own 
set of challenges like morning sickness, cramps and pains.
But, that’s not all!
Pregnancy also comes with a few medical conditions, which might 
unnecessarily complicate the pregnancy.
Let’s take a look at those medical conditions:

Diabetes during pregnancy:
Diabetes is basically a lifestyle condition, in which the body does not make 
enough insulin, or the body is unable to use the insulin that is made. When the 
insulin is not properly produced, the glucose is unable to enter the cells to make 
blood, and the body cells die, thus leaving the organs badly affected. However, 
diabetes, during pregnancy, which is also known as Gestational Diabetes, is a 
condition that is not caused by lack of insulin.
To elaborate on this, during pregnancy, the placenta, which provides the 
developing foetus with its all-essential oxygen and nutrients, is also responsible 
for producing oestrogen, cortisol and lactogen hormones, thus blocking the 
insulin. With the growth of the placenta, more hormones are produced and the 
insulin resistance is greater. So, when not much insulin is produced, to stop the 
effects of placental hormones, it gives rise to gestational diabetes. 
 
Depending upon the symptoms, age, and the trimester of pregnancy, treatment 
of gestational diabetes might include daily monitoring of blood sugar, physical 
activity and intake of medicines or insulin. As with uncontrolled gestational, a 
pregnant mother might give birth to baby, larger than normal, and suffer from

Hight Blood During pregnancy or Preeclampsia:
When the gynae wants to examine a urine 
sample at every pre-natal visit of a would-be-
mummy, the doctor is trying to look for the 
signs of preeclampsia. This occurs in women, 
who are going to be mothers for the first-time or 
who are pregnant with twins. High blood 
pressure during pregnancy or pre-eclampsia, 
affects the arteries that carries the blood to the 
placenta, through the 
umbilical cord (umbilical cord blood). If this 
condition goes untreated, the umbilical cord will 
not get the sufficient amount of blood, oxygen 
and nutrients, thus causing slow growth in the

Thyroid during pregnancy:
A butterfly-shaped gland situated above the collarbone, produces hormones 
essential for the body’s functioning. If this organ is unable to function properly, it 
leads to slow hormonal disbalance, thus giving rise to rapid weight gain, hair 
loss, dry skin, fatigue, etc.
However, during pregnancy, the Endocrine Society 
recommends the pregnant mother to keep their 
TSH levels to be between 0.2-
