Question 1 of 5
The 28-year-old pregnant client (G3P2) has just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes at 30 weeks. The client asks what types of complications may occur with this diagnosis. Which complications should the nurse identify as being associated with gestational diabetes? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,D
Rationale: Infants of diabetic mothers can be large as a result of excess glucose to the fetus. Congenital anomalies are more common in diabetic pregnancies. Seizures do not occur as a result of diabetes but can be associated with preeclampsia, another pregnancy complication. Infants of diabetic mothers are usually large for gestational age and do not have a low birth weight. Preterm labor is not typically associated with maternal diabetes.
