Obstetric syndromes refer to a group of medical conditions that can occur during pregnancy, affecting both the mother and the developing fetus. These syndromes can include issues such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and placenta previa, which may lead to complications if not properly managed. These conditions often require careful monitoring and intervention to ensure the health and safety of both the mother and baby. Early detection and treatment are crucial in minimizing risks associated with these syndromes, allowing for better outcomes during pregnancy and childbirth.
