Pregnancy can be associated with a variety of complications that affect the mother, the fetus, or both. Common complications include gestational diabetes, preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy), preterm birth, and miscarriage. Other potential problems include ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo implants outside the uterus, and placental disorders, such as placenta previa.
