What is Laches? Laches is an unreasonable delay in pursuing a right or claim in a way that prejudices the opposing party and renders the granting of a claim inequitable. Put another way, the doctrine of laches bars relief where the party seeking relief has been guilty of excessive, unjustified delay in asserting rights.
During pregnancy, the placenta makes hormones that can lead to a buildup of sugar in your blood. Usually, your pancreas can make enough insulin to handle that. If not, your blood sugar levels will rise and can cause gestational diabetes.
If diabetes is present in early pregnancy, there is an increased risk of birth defects and miscarriage compared to that of mothers without diabetes. Women with gestational diabetes have a higher chance of needing a Cesarean birth (C-section) due to the large sizes of their babies. Gestational diabetes may increase the risk of preeclampsia in the mother, a condition characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine.
