Summary
Pregnancies with previous adverse outcomes present unique challenges to healthcare professionals caring for them. They are a heterogenous group that includes adverse outcomes for mother, fetus and/or baby. Adverse outcome of pregnancy may include miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, fetal growth restriction, congenital anomalies, intrapartum stillbirths, birth asphyxia, birth trauma, neonatal morbidity and neonatal mortality. These could be a result of antenatally known factors, intrapartum events or neonatal complications. Adverse pregnancy events may have long-term implications for the health of the surviving babies/children and mothers.
