What is Risks for Infants of Diabetic Mothers about?
The document discusses the infant of a diabetic mother, noting that abnormal maternal glucose metabolism occurs in 3-10% of pregnancies in the US. Complications for these infants include intrauterine fetal demise, macrosomia, birth trauma, congenital anomalies, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, and electrolyte abnormalities. While strict glycemic control can help, these complications still persist due to the hyperinsulinemic state in utero leading to visceromegaly and macrosomia.
