Do pregnant women have high blood lipids that affect the fetus?

High blood lipids in pregnant women affect the fetus.

High blood lipids may lead to atherosclerosis in the placenta, reduce placental blood perfusion, and then affect the fetus to obtain adequate nutrients and oxygen, which is not conducive to the normal growth and development of the fetus. In addition, after the placenta function is adversely affected by high blood lipids, the fetus may be in a relatively hypoxic state in the uterus, which will increase the incidence of fetal distress. In severe cases, it may endanger the life of the fetus.

Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to monitoring blood lipid levels during pregnancy. If there are abnormalities, they should seek medical advice and reasonable intervention and treatment under the guidance of doctors to ensure their health and the health of the fetus.
