What are the Implications of Preexisting Medical Conditions?
Preexisting medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid disorders can complicate pregnancy. These conditions require careful management and continuous monitoring. For example, poorly controlled diabetes can lead to congenital anomalies, while unmanaged hypertension can result in preeclampsia. Nurses must work closely with other healthcare professionals to monitor these conditions and educate mothers on proper management strategies.
