Closed Caption - Childbirth Risks and Possible Outcomes

Although major complications are uncommon, your overall health will play a role in your likelihood of developing complications, and how well you recover from them. For example, women who have:

· Diabetes

· Heart, lung, or kidney disease

· Seizure disorders

· Sexually transmitted diseases

· Hepatitis

have a higher chance of developing complications than those who do not. This risk for complications is also higher for women who are overweight, or use alcohol, illegal drugs, or tobacco products.
