Two conditions are very frequent at the birth: respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and hypoglycaemia. Strict maternal glycemic control during pregnancy complicated by diabetes mellitus reduces neonatal morbidity and mortality. Infants of diabetic mothers are more likely to have respiratory symptoms in the newborn period from either RDS (surfactant dificiency) or retained fetal lung fluid (transient tachypnea of the newborn) after operative delivery UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
