Pregnancy complicated by diabetes presents risks for the mother and her baby and a challenge to those responsible for their care. Type 2 diabetes now represents a significant and rapidly increasing proportion of pregestational diabetes. Outcomes of pregnancies complicated by Type 2 diabetes are certainly no better and sometimes worse than for Type 1 diabetes. Perinatal mortality, stillbirths and congenital anomalies are increased between two- and fourfold. Women with Type 2 diabetes and who are of child-bearing age merit special attention for contraception and prepregnancy care. This review considers the implications for women with Type 2 diabetes before, during and after pregnancy.
