B. gestational diabetes
C. constipation
D. pernicious anemia

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. gestational diabetes

Step-by-step explanation:

Gestation diabetes is diabetes which usually develops in pregnant women who do not have diabetes normally. It is temporary in most of the cases in which pregnant women do not produce an appropriate amount of insulin in the body to manage blood glucose level.

It occurs in 2-5% of pregnant women. Gestation diabetes occurs because the developing placenta forms hormones that build up blood glucose levels. If this blood glucose level is not managed by body insulin than it cause gestation diabetes. So the right answer is B. gestational diabetes
