title: [Prognosis of pregnancy in diabetes mellitus].
abstract: From 1970-1984 116 pregnant diabetic patients were monitored and delivered at the University Hospital of Freiburg, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. During these 15 years, a decrease in maternal and fetal complications was observed. Today the risk of some complications in diabetic pregnancy is not greater than that of pregnancy in nondiabetic women. There is, however, still a higher incidence of gestosis and polyhydramnion in diabetics. The main fetal risk is macrosomia. There is an increasing tendency to spontaneous delivery near term. Today incidence rate of caesarean sections is below 30%.
