PCOS is associated with multiple adverse effects during pregnancy, making
these women a high-risk pregnancy. These adverse risks extend beyond pregnancy as
well, potentially posing intergenerational risks to the children of affected women.
These risks can be attributed to the biochemical features of PCOS, as well as other coexisting factors such as high BMI, insulin resistance, hypertension, thyroid disorders,
type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes, which are commonly observed in women with PCOS.
In order to provide a good pregnancy outcome, optimum antenatal care and
surveillance is necessary.
