Which of the following is NOT listed as a potential complication of IPV during pregnancy?

• A. Preterm labor
• B. Low birth weight
• C. Placental abruption
• D. Gestational diabetes

Answer: (D)

Intimate partner violence during pregnancy raises risks related to injury and chronic stress that can affect both mother and baby. Physical trauma can contribute to complications like preterm labor and placental problems, while ongoing stress, anxiety, and limited access to prenatal care can contribute to restricted fetal growth, leading to low birth weight. Gestational diabetes, on the other hand, is a metabolic condition caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic function, diagnosed through glucose testing, and is not a direct complication typically attributed to IPV. So the option that does not fit as a complication of IPV during pregnancy is gestational diabetes.
