[edit] Complications of pregnancy

This page needs to be edited for many reasons.

What is a problem? The word is too generic and means comprises everything and nothing.

In medicine there are signs, symptoms, complications and syndromes.

This is a list of signs, symptoms, complications and syndromes.

Signs and symptoms do not always indicate a diseased state; rather, they just indicate that a third party or the first person have noticed something different (from the norm).

The term Complication, on the other hand, can be defined as is read on the relevant WKP page.

Ectopic pregnancy is a state of disease that occurs solely in early pregnancy.

Writing "The routine problems are normal complications, and pose no significant danger to either the woman or the fetus." is a contradiction in terms. COMPLICATIONS ARE, FORTUNATELY, NOT ROUTINE. Where are all the eager beavers?
