Even though motherhood is a positive and enjoyable experience, it is also a vulnerable period that can be accompanied by various complications. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus are the most significant contributors to these complications. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess if the degree of physical activity during pregnancy has an impact on the development of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus. In this cross-sectional study, 150 women were involved. Among the total study participants, 65(43.3%) and 85(56.7%) of them were engaged in vigorous physical activities and light physical activities during pregnancy, respectively. Of these study participants, 62 (41.3%) of them had pregnancy-related complications. It was found that women who engaged in vigorous physical activity had a lower proportion of complications (17.74%) compared to those who engaged in light physical activity (82.26%). This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.001). The finding of this study showed that pregnancy-related complications, specifically HDP and GDM, were low in women who had vigorous physical activities during pregnancy as compared to those who had a sedentary lifestyle or engaged in light physical activities.
尽管为人母是一段积极且愉快的经历，但它也是一个易受影响的时期，可能会伴有各种并发症。妊娠期高血压疾病和妊娠期糖尿病是这些并发症的最主要成因。因此，本研究的主要目的是评估孕期的身体活动程度是否会对妊娠期高血压疾病和妊娠期糖尿病的发展产生影响。在这项横断面研究中，有150名女性参与。在所有研究参与者中，分别有65名（43.3%）和85名（56.7%）在孕期进行剧烈体育活动和轻度体育活动。在这些研究参与者中，有62名（41.3%）出现了与妊娠相关的并发症。研究发现，与进行轻度体育活动的女性（82.26%）相比，进行剧烈体育活动的女性并发症比例较低（17.74%）。这种差异具有统计学意义（p = 0.001）。本研究结果表明，与久坐不动或进行轻度体育活动的女性相比，孕期进行剧烈体育活动的女性与妊娠相关的并发症，尤其是妊娠期高血压疾病和妊娠期糖尿病的发生率较低。
