Overview

Women with GDM are at higher risk of developing preeclampsia.^[1]^[2]

GDM is associated with increased risk of polyhydramnios probably because of fetal polyuria.^[3]

Macrosomia is a fetal complication of GDM that may result in difficult labor, shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injury and fractures.^[4]^[5]
