title: [Intrauterine development of newborns of mothers with diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The examination of 170 babies born to diabetic mothers revealed that the body weight of these children was by a significant percent higher than that of other babies of the corresponding gestation age. Hypertrophic babies are born more frequently to mothers with manifest diabetes than to those with gestation diabetes. In mothers with the long-lasting disease accompanied by vascular lesions, retardation of the intrauterine fetal growth may occur. In order to improve the condition of these infants, their mothers should be constantly supervised during pregnancy and they should be prescribed adequate diet and therapy. Diabetic mothers also require greater care at delivery and a more liberal attitude towards the application of the cesarean section in order to prevent hypoxia and obstetric traumas of the infant.
