In the United States (U.S.), between 2% and 10% of pregnant women have gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The purpose of this study is to assess the implications of GDM on pregnancy and birth outcomes as well as maternal morbidities and complications. Data from the 2019 U.S. Natality public file was analyzed on 3,423,238 singleton birth records. At the time of their pregnancy, women with GDM were more likely to be over the age of 30. Comorbidities of gestational hypertension/preeclampsia and eclampsia were substantially more common in pregnant women with GDM. Also, women with GDM were more likely to give birth via Cesarean section than those without the condition (p<.001). Newborns to mothers with GDM had a 7% higher chance of being preterm, a 29% higher chance of being low birth weight, and a 59% higher chance of being macrosomic (newborn weight =4000 grams) than newborns delivered to women without GDM. Early, targeted first-trimester screening and nutrition/exercise interventions for pregnant women at risk for GDM should be implemented to reduce adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.
