While genetics are fixed, the intrauterine environment is something you can influence. High maternal stress hormones (cortisol) can complicate a high-risk pregnancy.
Mosaicism is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a mixture of cells with different genetic makeup within the same individual. In the context of pregnancy, mosaicism can refer to the presence of abnormal cells in the placenta or fetus, which can increase the risk of pregnancy complications and birth defects. One specific type of mosaicism, known as Mosaic-JUQ-016, has been identified during pregnancy, and researchers are working to understand its implications.
Regular ultrasounds and possibly more frequent prenatal check-ups to monitor fetal growth and detect any potential complications early.
