The Fetus of the Diabetic Mother

  • Chapter
The High-Risk Fetus

Abstract

There were also higher rates of spontaneous abortions and premature labor in those pregnancies that continued into the third trimester. In 1920, DeLee1 observed that spontaneous abortion and premature labor occurred in about 33% of all diabetic pregnancies.
