An expectant mother hopes for an uncomplicated pregnancy and the safe delivery of a healthy baby. In short, she longs for a good start on her life together with her unborn child. Yet the changes affecting her body are often the cause of concern. For example, she may have heard that hemoglobin fluctuations have an impact on birth outcome. Or she may know the potential for gestational diabetes, without understanding how blood sugar can affect fetal growth and the risk of toxemic pregnancy. If she already knows that she has diabetes, she may even have acute fears about birth defects, intrauterine death or the risk of caesarean section. Above all, she probably wonders about the tiredness, thirst and weight gain she experiences. Are they simply the symptoms of pregnancy, or the result of a more serious condition?
