Reduce pregnancy complications

What this outcome means

Pregnancy complications are the health problems that can arise for a mother or baby during pregnancy, from blood pressure issues to growth concerns. On DoseRank it maps to a defined health outcome built from human studies on rates of pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and birth-weight outcomes – data sourced from open sources and specialized resources. DoseRank is not medical advice.
