- Which of the following statements is true of gestational diabetes? Group of answer choices It is a form of diabetes that is seen in women before and after pregnancy, but not during pregnancy. Infants born to women suffering from poorly treated gestational diabetes have a low birthweight. An overweight woman who suffers from gestational diabetes is not at a risk of developing chronic diabetes later in life. Poorly treated gestational diabetes may lead to difficult childbirth and necessitate a cesarean section. Gestational diabetes does not require medical attention and resolves itself as the pregnancy progresses.arrow_forwardEma, aged one year, and her mother Ogwa recently moved to Canterbury from Nigeria.

- A woman is in labor. The size of the fetus combined with the contractions of the uterine muscular layer stretches the uterine wall, stimulating stretch receptors in the cervix. Signals from these receptors are conducted through nerves to the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary. The hypothalamus/posterior pituitary releases oxytocin. The oxytocin travels through the blood and stimulates the smooth muscle layer of the uterus. Oxytocin has two effects on the uterine smooth muscle: It directly stimulates the smooth muscle to contract more frequently and more It causes the uterine wall to release prostaglandins, which increase the frequency and force of These effects push the fetus more forcefully into the cervix, stimulating the stretch receptors further. The receptors send additional impulses to the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary. The increased activation of the hypothalamus/posterior pituitary stimulates release of additional oxytocin, which further stimulates the uterus. This cycle of…arrow_forwardA woman is in labor.
