Fetus and newborn affected by other maternal medication - what does this mean

When a pregnant woman takes certain medications, the drugs can cross the placenta and enter the fetus' bloodstream. this can cause the fetus to be affected by the medication, resulting in a range of possible complications, such as birth defects, preterm birth, low birth weight, and other adverse effects.

What happens during the disease - fetus and newborn affected by other maternal medication

The pathogenesis of this condition is likely due to the transfer of medications from the mother to the fetus across the placenta. this transfer can occur during pregnancy, or at the time of delivery, and can cause the fetus to become exposed to potentially harmful medications, resulting in various adverse effects on the developing fetus and newborn.
