Highlights
Maternal and especially placental health status during pregnancy directly affects fetal development and normal growth[1]
There are several maternal conditions that contribute to placental insufficiency like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia which can compromise fetal development[2]
Preeclampsia is defined as hypertension (SBP>140 or DBP>80) detected on two occasions at least 6 hours apart after 20 weeks of gestational age plus proteinuria
Summary
Maternal and especially placental health status during pregnancy directly affects fetal development and normal growth[1]. There are several maternal conditions that contribute to placental insufficiency like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia which can compromise fetal development[2]. Preeclampsia is a serious maternal placental pathology leading to feral complication. Preeclampsia is defined as hypertension (SBP>140 or DBP>80) detected on two occasions at least 6 hours apart after 20 weeks of gestational age plus proteinuria. In preexisting essential hypertensive patients it is defined as increased SBP >= 30 mmHg or DBP>= 15 mmHg. In preexisting essential hypertensive patients it is defined as increased SBP >= 30 mmHg or DBP>= 15 mmHg This disorder affects 2-6% of healthy nulliparous women in the U.S while affecting 418% of mothers in developing countries. Preeclampsia is associated with both maternal and fetal complication. Most important fetal complications are intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and prematurity
