COMPLICATION - FETUS
Oligohydramnios,
non-reassuring fetal heart testing (NRFHR),
and stillbirth.
COMPLICATION - NEONATE
Preterm birth and its consequences
respiratory distress syndrome (RDS),
intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH),
necrotizing enterocolitis [NEC]),
hypoglycemia,
hyperbilirubinemia,
hypothermia,
seizures,
sepsis,
neurodevelopmental delay
and neonatal death.
COMPLICATION - INFANT AND
CHILD
Impaired gross motor development,
cerebral palsy,
lower intelligence quotient,
mental retardation,
speech/reading disabilities,
learning deficits,

Antenatal corticosteroids:
if delivery is anticipated before 33 6/7 weeks of gestation
or for pregnancies between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks of gestation in women without
contraindications who are at risk of preterm delivery within 7 days and who have
not received a prior course of antenatal corticosteroids.
Magnesium sulfate for fetal and neonatal neuroprotection is indicated for
women with pregnancies that are less than 32 0/7 weeks of gestation in
whom delivery is likely.
TIMING OF DELIVERY
Nutrition:
In high-risk women with nutritional deficiencies, increasing
caloric intake with low-protein supplementation reduces the risk
of FGR by 32%.
Inthe absence of nutritional deficiency, high protein
supplementation may lead to higher rates of FGR and should be
avoided
