Impact of low and late fertility on gestational diabetes mellitus and macrosomia

Key Points

• This research investigates how low and late fertility affects the risks of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and neonatal macrosomia.
• Examined the impact of fertility timing on neonatal outcomes
• Analyzed gestational weight gain (GWG) among women with varying fertility patterns
• Evaluated the association between GDM and risk of macrosomia
• Appropriate gestational weight gain reduces the risks of neonatal macrosomia
• Women with low and late fertility are at higher risk for GDM
• Higher GDM prevalence correlates with increased macrosomia in the studied population
