The effects on offspring by pregnancy diseases and pregnancy complications

Pregnancy-related diseases or complications have undeniable effects on the offspring's health, representing significant concerns in perinatal and neonatal medicine. Recently, numerous advancements have emerged, acknowledging the fact that even gestational pathologies have an escalating impact on an offspring's health, extending into adulthood.

This search for knowledge necessitates an in-depth exploration of the intricate correlations and effects that various gestational diseases exert on an offspring's health and disease states. Moreover, the potential pathways and mechanisms bridging these two entities warrant investigation. Furthermore, these studies may discern whether there exists an opportunity to modify the offspring's outcome and prognosis through interventions during pregnancy.

This Research Topic welcomes Original Research, Reviews, Mini-reviews, and Perspective articles about the following key areas of interest include but are not limited to:
● The association or underlying mechanism between daily habits during pregnancy and the developmental outcome in the offspring
● The correlation or mechanism between maternal pathological conditions during pregnancy and the health of the offspring
● The link or mechanism between maternal consumption of pharmaceuticals and/or exposure to environmental factors during gestation and the offspring's health
● The influence of assisted reproductive technologies on the health of the offspring
● The effect of interventions during pregnancy to control and/or ameliorate the negative outcome and prognosis in the offspring

Keywords: Offspring, Pregnancy Diseases
