hemorrhoids. In the third trimester, the inferior
vena cava due to compression of the gestational
uterus reduces blood volume in the venous to
return into the right ventricular in the supine
position, resulting in decreased cardiac output
and hypotension.
1.2.5 Urinary System
The kidneys enlarge slightly during pregnancy.
Glomerular ltration rate (GFR) and renal blood
volume increase from early pregnancy, and urine
output also increases.
1.2.6 Digestive System
The stomach and intestinal tract are compressed
by the gestational uterus. Heartburn and constipation are common pregnancy-related digestion
symptoms. Constipation and compression of the
veins by the gestational uterus predispose to the
development of hemorrhoids.
1.2.7 Endocrine System
In early pregnancy, maternal free thyroxine (FT4)
is mildly elevated and thyroid function is temporarily increased. As pregnancy progresses,
Thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) increases, and
although total T4 increases with TBG, hyperthyroidism does not occur because TBG causes a
loss of thyroid hormone bioactivity.
1.2.8 Blood Changes
During pregnancy, the increase in circulating
plasma volume exceeds the increase in red blood
cells, and hemoglobin, there is a fall in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count. The
white blood cell count increases to about 5000–
12,000/μL. The platelet count is unchanged or
mildly decreased compared with nonpregnant
women, averaging 213,000/μL.
1.3 Diseases inEarly Pregnancy
The most common disorders seen in early pregnancy are hyperemesis gravidarum, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and congenital
malformation syndrome related to maternal
viral infection.
1.3.1 Hyperemesis Gravidarum
Sometimes, the pregnant woman has excessive
symptoms such as vomiting almost every day,
inability to eat orally, and persistent weight loss
with strong positive urine ketone bodies. In addition, it may show liver dysfunction and electrolyte abnormalities due to dehydration and may
develop Wernick’s encephalopathy due to vitamin B1 deciency. This is a neurological disorder
with various symptoms such as ocular motility
disorder, ataxia, and disturbance of consciousness. The prophylactic method is administered
10–50 mg of vitamin B1, B6, B12 with sugarcontaining electrolyte solutions [3].
1.3.2 Miscarriage
It is dened as an abortion of pregnancy of fewer
than 22weeks in Japan. A spontaneous abortion
is dened as an abortion that occurs spontaneously due to fetal or maternal morbidity.
1. Clinical classication.
(a) Threatened abortion: A condition in
which genital bleeding occurs but the
uterine cervix is closed and the pregnancy
is maintained. In early pregnancy, vaginal
spotting is not an entire sign of miscarriage and possible continued pregnancy.
(b) Inevitable abortion: This is a condition in
which the cervix is open and the uterine
contents (embryo, villus, a part of gestational sac) are being expelled.
(c) Missed abortion: A condition in which
the fetus remains in the uterus without
obvious symptoms, but the fetus has no
heartbeat.
(d) Complete abortion: Complete expulsion
of the fetus (or embryo) and fetal tissue.
(e) Recurrent abortion (miscarriage): Two
consecutive miscarriages.
2. Diagnosis
When a patient with a positive pregnancy
test, there is a risk of misdiagnosis of ectopic
pregnancy, miscarriage, or hydatidiform
mole, if the fetal sac is not obscured due to
delayed ovulation. Therefore, a careful interview and ultrasound examination should be
performed (Fig.19.1).

dichorionic diamniotic twins at 10weeks’ gestation
3. Treatment
(a) Threatened abortion: No effective treat-
ment has been established for threatened
abortion at less than 12weeks’ gestation.
There is a report that the miscarriage rate
was decreased by rest therapy in the case
of subchorionic hematoma after the fetal
heartbeat was conrmed [4].
(b) Missed abortion/Inevitable abortion.
In Japan, the use of drugs such as
mifepristone and misoprostol are not
approved for the treatment of miscarriages of less than 12weeks’ gestation, so
either watchful waiting for a complete
abortion or surgical treatment (dilation
and curettage or suction evacuation) is
selected.
1.3.3 Ectopic Pregnancy
It is a condition in which a fertilized ovum
implants in a place other than the uterine cavity
and grows to maturity. It can be divided into tubal
pregnancy, ovarian pregnancy, and peritoneal
pregnancy according to the implantation site of
the fertilized ovum [5].
1. Diagnosis
(a) No evidence of a gestational sac structure
in the uterine cavity (after 5–6 weeks
gestation).
(b) A gestational sac-like structure is found
outside the uterine cavity.
339
(c) Fluid retention in the Douglas pouch is
observed.
(d) A decrease in circulating blood volume
(anemia, tachycardia, hypotension) is
suspected.
(e) After probe curettage in the uterine endo-
metrium, no chorionic villi are found in
the extracted specimen.
(f) Indicates acute abdomen.
2. Treatment
In principle, surgical treatment is per-
formed, but the indications for drug therapy
(e.g., methotrexate: MTX) or conservative
treatment are determined according to the
patient’s general condition, implantation site,
blood hCG level, presence or absence of fetal
heartbeat, mass diameter, and fertility.
However, MTX therapy is not covered by
insurance in Japan. In case of surgery, either
laparotomy or laparoscopy should be chosen.
1.3.4 Maternal Viral Infection
It indicates that a pathogen (virus) infecting the
mother infects the child through pregnancy,
delivery, and lactation. Currently, rubella is a
social problem. In Japan, adult males aged 39 to
56 years who have not been vaccinated against
rubella have a great possibility of contracting
rubella and transmitting the disease to pregnant
women through droplet infection. The Ministry
of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) is recommending rubella vaccination for men aged
39–56years for 3years from April 2019 (free of
charge in some municipalities). Figure 19.2
shows congenital fetal anomalies caused by
maternal infection by pathogens [6].
1.4 Pregnancy Complications
Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are the most
common complication of pregnancy.
1.4.1 Hypertensive Disorders

pregnancy (HDP), furthermore, if combined with
proteinuria,
it may lead to preeclampsia. HDP occurs in
approximately 3% to 5% of all pregnancies
worldwide. It occurs in 6–8% of rst pregnancies, 14–20% of multiple pregnancies, 30% of
pregnancies with uterine malformations, and
26% of pregnancies with a family history of
hypertension or chronic hypertension [7].
Pathophysiology andFactors ofHDP
In HDP, the failure of trophoblastic cells to invade
the spiral arteries of the decidua in the placental
bed results in remodeling failure due to narrowing of the diameter of the spiral arteries, leading
to fetoplacental circulatory disturbance. This is
the rst stage of the two-step theory of HDP proposed by Redmann etal. [8]. In the second stage,
the production of soluble fms-like tyrosine
kinase-1 (sFlt-1), a soluble receptor for a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and sEng,
a soluble receptor for TGF-β1 and β3, increases
in chorionic villus cells and enters the fetal placental and maternal circulatory systems due to
hypoxia caused by fetoplacental circulatory failure (Fig.19.3).
Classication by Symptom
1. Mild: Blood pressure: Any of the following
cases. Systolic blood pressure of 140mmHg
or more but less than 160mmHg. Diastolic
blood pressure: 90 mmHg or more, less
than 110mmHg. Proteinuria: 0.3g/day or
more.
2. Severe: Blood pressure: Any of the following.
Systolic blood pressure of 160 mmHg or
higher. Diastolic blood pressure: 110mmHg
or more. Proteinuria: 2g/day or more.

Maternal Management andTreatment
Inpatient management is useful because it allows
a rapid response to sudden symptom
exacerbation.
Caloric intake is calculated according to the
individual’s age, Body Mass Index (BMI) at nonpregnancy, and physical activity level.
Oral hydralazine or methyldopa is the rstline antihypertensive agent, and if the antihypertensive effect is inadequate, continuous
intravenous hydralazine or nicardipine is recommended as the second-line agent.
Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) should be administered to prevent eclampsia associated with
hypertension.
Fetal Management
When fetal growth failure is observed in HDP,
fetal well-being should be assessed using the following methods 1 to 4.
1. Non-stress testing (NST).
2. Fetal ultrasound measurement, amniotic uid
volume.
3. Biophysical proling score (BPS).
4. Blood ow measurement (umbilical artery,
middle cerebral artery, uterine artery, etc.)

• Non-Reassuring Fetal Status (NRFS):
fetal heart rate monitoring shows
decreased or loss of variability, a sinusoidal pattern, variable deceleration, or prolonged deceleration may be present.
1.4.2 Gestational Diabetes
andDiabetes Mellitus
Pregnancy is associated with increased insulin
resistance due to hormones secreted by the placenta. This tendency increases in the third trimester, and the amount of insulin increases to
maintain normal blood sugar levels. There are
two types of problems of glucose metabolism in
pregnancy: pregnancies complicated by diabetes
mellitus, in which diabetes mellitus is present
before pregnancy, and the problem of glucose
metabolism that is rst detected during pregnancy. There are two types of abnormalities of
glucose metabolism rst detected during pregnancy: GDM, in which blood sugar levels are
higher than normal but not high enough to be
diagnosed as diabetes mellitus, and diabetes mellitus detected during pregnancy, in which blood
sugar levels are high (apparent diabetes mellitus
of pregnancy) [10].
Diagnosis
Figure 19.4 shows the problems of glucose
metabolism and diagnostic criteria in gpregnancy
[11].
Treatment
(a) Dietary therapy: Non-obese pregnant woman
(BMI < 25 at the time of non-pregnancy):
Standard weight [height (m)2×22] ×
30+200kcal.
(b) Obese pregnant woman (BMI≥ 25 at non-
pregnancy): Standard weight [height (m)2×
22] × 30kcal.
Pregnancy is characterized by a higher
postprandial blood sugar level than that in
nonpregnant women. Especially in pregnant
women with problem glucose metabolism,
the 2-h postprandial blood sugar level
increases rapidly. To reduce the uctuation
of blood sugar, it is important to reduce the
amount of food per meal and to eat 5 to 6
divided meals to reduce the increase in postprandial blood sugar level.
(c) If the target blood sugar level is exceeded
even after diet therapy: Sometimes a woman
with gestational diabetes must take insulin
[12].
Poor Blood Glucose Control
It is known that the risk increases in pregnant
women with diabetes who have poor control
before and during the rst pregnancy trimester.
Galindo etal. [13] reported that the incidence of
major malformations was 11.7% when the maternal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level was 7–8%
and 15.8% when the HbA1c level was 8% or
higher.
1.5 Postpartum Depression
According to the diagnostic criteria of the
American Psychiatric Association, postpartum
depression is dened as depressive feelings such
as anxiety about baby care, dissatisfaction with

Postpartum Depression Scale” [14]. In Japan, if
the score is 9 points or more, the possibility of
postpartum depression should be considered and

1.6 Lactation
1.6.1 Relationship Between Sex
Hormones andMammary
Glands
Once pregnancy is established, the secretion of
estrogen and progesterone is stimulated by hCG
from the placenta and remains high. This hormonal environment is particularly pronounced
after the second trimester, which stimulates lactogenic differentiation, preparing it for milk production and secretion.
1.6.2 Hormones Involved
intheStructure andFunction
oftheMammary Gland
Hormones involved in the structure and function
of the mammary gland include growth hormonereleasing factor (GRF), corticotropin-releasing
factor (CRF), prolactin-inhibitory factor (PIF),
luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating
hormone (FSH), adrenocorticotropic hormone
(ACTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),
and estrogen receptor (ER) and others.
1.6.3 Maternal Infections
andLactation
1. Human Immunodeciency Virus (HIV)-
infected pregnancies: In Japan, where HIVinfected pregnancies are extremely rare, the
proportion of conrmatory test-positive cases
(i.e., infected cases) in the pregnant women
screening test-positive population (positive
predictive value) is extremely low, ranging
from 3.8% to 7.7% [15, 16] (6.5% in the 2013
survey). Therefore, conrmatory testing is
even more essential for the diagnosis of HIV
infection in pregnant women. Perinatal HIV
transmission occurs through three routes: placenta, labor, and breastfeeding [17]. Because
articial feeding (milk) prevents mother-tobaby transmission [17–19], therefore milk is
recommended immediately after birth [19].
2. Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-
1)-infected pregnancy.
Approximately 95% of mother-to-child
transmission (MTCT) of human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is derived from
prolonged breastfeeding, which is a major
cause of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) [20].
The routes of infection are MTCT, blood
transfer (blood transfusion, organ transplantation), and sexual intercourse (mainly male-tofemale). Articial nutrition, frozen
breastfeeding, and short-term (3 months)
breastfeeding are presented as options for the
prevention of transplacental mother-to-child
transmission in HTLV-1 carrier mothers [21].
1.6.4 Medication andBreastfeeding
In the drug package inserts, many drugs are
described as “transfer to breast milk has been
reported and breastfeeding should be avoided.”
Almost all drugs are secreted into breast milk to
varying degrees, and the infant ingests the drug
through breast milk [22–24]. It should be noted,
however, that drug exposure via breast milk is an
order of magnitude less than the level of exposure
in the uterine (<10% or even <1%). Drug safety
has been investigated based on comparisons with
usual doses (theory) and data from previous
observational studies [22]. In the drug safety
evaluation, “relative infant dose (RID) (%) = total
amount of drug ingested via breastfeeding (mg/
kg/day)/usual dose of the drug administered to
the child (mg/kg/day) × 100” is considered [22].
If the RID is much lower than 10%, depending on
the type of drug, the effect on the child is estimated to be small [22]. On the other hand, when
the RID is much higher than 10%, considerable
caution is required. According to observational
studies, many drugs have a little adverse effect on
the child when taken by a lactating woman [22].
However, the current situation is insufcient to
assess the effects of these drugs. Therefore, we
recommend referring to FDA that has introduced
the ve letter risk categories (A, B, C, D, and X)
for the pregnancy and lactation labeling system
since 1979, and replaced the former pregnancy
risk categories on prescription and biological
drugs labeling [25] (Table 19.1). In 2021, the
FDA published the new Pregnancy and Lactation
Labeling Rule (PLLR or nal rule). The PLLR
also requires the label to be updated when information becomes outdated. The PLLR removed
pregnancy letter categories-A, B, C, D, and X
(Fig.19.5), therefore, physicians should need to
notice drug information under the nal rule [26].

1.7 Notes fromDentistry
Perspective [27–32]
TetsuroIkebe
1.7.1 Timing Suitable forDental
Treatment (Dental Surgery)
The most important factor in the dental treatment
(surgery) of pregnant women is the interview. It
is the communication with the patient through
the interview. In some cases, the patient voluntarily states that she is pregnant on the questionnaire, but in other cases, she does not describe or
declare her pregnancy. The rst step is to nd out
whether or not the patient is pregnant. In addition, since the patient may be undergoing infertility treatment, the interview should be conducted
carefully.
In the case of pregnant women, it is essential
to know the pregnancy period (weeks or days
after conception) to determine the timing for dental treatment (surgery). Therefore, it is necessary
for dentists to have a basic knowledge about the
pregnancy period. The possibility of teratogenicity, abortion, premature birth, and stillbirth
should be considered.
• The gestation period is calculated as
1week=28days, 4weeks=1month.
• The start of the last menstrual period is
0weeks and 0days after conception.
• The day of ovulation (fertilization) is 2weeks
(14days) after conception.
• Delivered at 40weeks and 0days (10months)
(280days).
Based on the above, determine whether the
patient’s pregnancy is in the rst pregnancy trimester, second trimester pregnancy, or third pregnancy trimester of the pregnancy period.
treatment (dental surgery) (be careful of fetal
toxicity).
• Third pregnancy trimester: 28 weeks of late
pregnancy (after 8 months of pregnancy):
transfer of drugs to the fetus. The fetus has an
immature ability to metabolize drugs.
Particular attention should be paid to the rst
trimester, from 3 to 12weeks of pregnancy. This
period is the fetal organogenesis period, for
example, the period of lip formation is around the
rst month of pregnancy, and the period of palate
formation is around the third month of pregnancy,
so if the fetus is affected in any way during this
period, it may cause cleft lip or cleft palate.
Therefore, the most appropriate time for dental
treatment (dental surgery) is between the fth
and seventh months of pregnancy in the second
pregnancy trimester. Unnecessary dental treatment (especially surgical treatment, treatment
with drugs, and treatment that causes mental or
physical stress to the pregnant woman) should
wait until this time. The next period when dental
treatment is possible is the third pregnancy
trimester.
However, even in the rst pregnancy trimester,
if the patient has severe pain or inammation and
it is decided that treatment is necessary for the
health of the pregnant woman, dental treatment
should be carried out after being explained about
the merit and demerit of dental treatments to the
patient.
1.7.2 Eects ofDental Radiation
The radiation dose that affects the fetus, including early pregnancy, is 100mSv or more.
Typical radiation doses during radiography
are shown in Table19.2. There may be no problem in terms of radiation dose when ordinary
dental radiography is performed on pregnant
• Two weeks from fertilization to implantation:
no connection between mother and fetus.
• First pregnancy trimester: 3weeks to 12weeks
(up to 4months of pregnancy): organogenesis
period (a period to watch out for
teratogenesis).
• Second pregnancy trimester: 5 to 7 months:
stable period: appropriate timing for dental

women, but its dose should be kept to a minimum
and the abdomen where the fetus exists should be
protected with a lead apron.
The use of contrast media for CT and MRI
should be avoided in pregnant women. If contrast
media must be used for lactating women, then, it
is better not to breastfeed for 48h after the use of
contrast media.
1.7.3 Inuence ofDental Medication:
Antibiotics andAnalgesics
(NSAIDs)
When oral or injectable drugs are administered to
a pregnant woman, it must be recognized that the
drugs are transferred to the fetus through the placenta. Depending on the type and dose of the
drug, the fetus may be affected during
organogenesis.
Therefore, medication should be avoided, if
possible, until 12weeks (3months) of pregnancy.
The second trimester pregnancy (5 to 7months)
is a safe time for medication and treatment.
In addition, after birth, drugs administered to
the mother may be transferred to the infant through
breast milk. If the drug is taken immediately after
breastfeeding, the concentration of the drug in
breast milk can be reduced. Of course, the drug
should be administered as little as necessary.
Antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-
inammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly prescribed drugs in dentistry. Attention
should be paid to the transplacental passage and
breast milk transit of these drugs.
Antibiotics
Penicillins or cephem antibiotics (cephalosporin)
should be the rst choice of antimicrobial agents
for pregnant and lactating women. To prevent the
emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
bacteria, which has become an international
issue, third-generation cephems should be
avoided, and penicillins such as amoxicillin are
recommended. Amoxicillin is safe throughout
pregnancy and is rapidly absorbed and excreted.
Its transfer to breast milk is low, and there is little
effect on the infant.
If the patient is allergic to penicillins or
cephems, macrolide antibiotic should be used.
Macrolides are more likely to be transferred to
breast milk than penicillins or cephems.
In addition, penicillins, cephems, and macrolides can be used in pediatric patients. However,
new quinolones should not be administered to
pregnant women or lactating women because
their safety for fetuses and infants has not been
established.
Analgesics
As an analgesic, acetaminophen is safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers. The transfer of
acetaminophen (Caronal®) to breast milk is low
even when taken during lactation, and there is no
problem in administering it in regular doses.
However, NSAIDs should be avoided.
NSAIDs are placental transmissible, and when
administered to the mother, they are almost
always transferred to the fetus and may constrict
the fetal ductus arteriosus. This may lead to
decreased amniotic uid and premature birth. It
is also transferred to breast milk. Therefore, it
should not be used after 28weeks (7months) of
pregnancy. Diclofenac sodium (Voltaren®), one
of NSAIDs, should not be administered to women
of childbearing potential.
1.7.4 Local Anesthesia
Local anesthetics for dental treatment should be
avoided in the rst pregnancy trimester and
waited until the second pregnancy trimester.
However, for emergency treatment such as pulp
extirpation or abscess incision, local anesthesia
should be administered with the following precautions in mind.
Lidocaine: lidocaine crosses the placenta easily. Fifty percent of the maternal blood concentration becomes the fetal blood concentration.
Adrenaline (vasoconstrictors): easily
destroyed and not readily transferred to the fetus.
Propitocaine (Citanest
®
) and felypressin
(Octapressin®): the use of felypressin, a vasoconstrictor, is prohibited because of its delivery
(childbirth) accelerating effect.
