Pregnancy is a particularly vulnerable period in a woman\u2019s life \u2014 and in the life of her unborn child. The medical care that a mother receives during her pregnancy can have consequences that affect that child\u2019s entire future.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, doctors sometimes make serious mistakes with prenatal care. They may overlook certain common complications of pregnancy<\/a> and that can lead to a lifetime of complications for the child and the child\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Every expecting mother should expect her doctor to look for the following:<\/p>\n

Preeclampsia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protein in your urine and high blood pressure are two indicators of this serious condition that can lead to seizures and eventually be fatal. It\u2019s a particular concern toward the later stages of a pregnancy and may require bed rest or an early delivery.<\/p>\n

Gestational diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a particular concern for mothers who have a family history of diabetes or who gain a lot of weight during their pregnancy. Your doctor should be especially watchful if you\u2019ve already had the condition with an earlier pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Placenta previa<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a condition where the placenta lies low in the uterus where it may rupture or bleed. It\u2019s important to diagnose it early because a cesarean-section is required to prevent a fatality.<\/p>\n

Low amniotic fluid<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amniotic fluid is what cushions and protects your baby in the womb. If that fluid gets low, it can cause numerous complications for the infant. Doctors can determine if the fluid levels are normal through an ultrasound. If there are problems, the child may need to be delivered early.<\/p>\n

Premature labor<\/strong><\/p>\n

A full-term pregnancy is one of the best things that can happen for a baby\u2019s health, so doctors need to be on the watch for premature labor. Early deliveries can be delayed and sometimes halted with rapid interventions.<\/p>\n

If your doctor\u2019s failure to detect these conditions led to a birth injury<\/a>, you and your child may be the victim of negligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
