Pregnancy complications refer to any issues or problems that may arise during a pregnancy. Some common examples include:

• Placenta previa: A condition where the placenta covers the cervix.
• Miscarriage: Loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks.
• Stillbirth: Loss of a fetus after 20 weeks.

It's important to note that many of these complications can be managed with proper care and treatment, and many women have healthy pregnancies without any complications. However, it's important to be aware of these possibilities and to work with a healthcare provider to monitor and manage any issues that may arise.

• Rh incompatibility: A condition in which the mother has Rh-negative blood and the baby has Rh-positive blood, which can lead to problems if not managed properly.
• Polyhydramnios: Excessive amniotic fluid, which can indicate a problem with the baby's swallowing or digestion.
• Oligohydramnios: Insufficient amniotic fluid, which can indicate a problem with the baby's kidneys or other issues.
• Fetal growth restriction: A condition in which the baby is not growing at the expected rate, which can indicate a problem with the placenta or other issues.
• Uterine fibroids: Benign tumors in the uterus that can cause pain, heavy bleeding, and other symptoms.
