Whitehead, L. (2018). The Effects of Different Types of Dietary Advice for Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Pregnancy Outcomes. Clinical Nurse Specialist, 32(4), 175–176. doi:10.1097/nur.0000000000000382.

Gestational diabetes mellitus affects a great number of pregnant women every year. Gestational diabetes mellitus can therefore be defined as high levels of blood glucose concentration that is first recognizable at the onset of pregnancy.

Gestational diabetes mellitus indicates strongly that a patient may later develop T2D. Gestational diabetes also increases the risk of poor health outcomes of the fetus and the matter.

In the study conducted, there were no benefits of the diet investigated in healthy control of gestational diabetes in pregnant women.

Preeclampsia continues to be one of the most prevalent hypertensive disorders during pregnancy.

The current approaches to the nursing management of preeclampsia Include accurate blood pressure monitoring and measurement.

The monitoring of changes in body weight is also an important aspect of current approaches to nursing management of preeclampsia.

Finally, assessing the severity of preeclampsia in a pregnant woman will be important to determine the optimal time of delivery to avoid any form of complications.

Second stage labor practices can play a significant role in helping in achievement of safety reduction of primary cesarean birth in low-risk nulliparous women.

Second stage labor practices can also help to optimize fetal and maternal outcomes associated with birth and labor.

Nurses can also utilize second-stage labor practices to improve women’s birth satisfaction and support physiological birth.

Implementing skin-to-skin (STS) care in the OR after a cesarean birth plays a significant role in boosting maternal satisfaction among women.

Implementing STS care in the OR also played a significant role in reducing the maternal perception of pain compared to women who did not perform skin-to-skin care after cesarean birth.

Health caregivers should therefore utilize STS care in cesarean births to enhance the birth experience and enhance other positive implications.
