Which of the following is NOT listed as a pregnancy complication of hepatitis C?

• A. Hyperemesis gravidarum
• B. IUGR
• C. Brachial plexus injury
• D. Fetal distress

Answer: (A)

Hyperemesis gravidarum is not linked to hepatitis C in pregnancy. When considering complications specifically associated with maternal hepatitis C, the outcomes more commonly noted are effects on fetal growth and well-being, such as intrauterine growth restriction and fetal distress, which can reflect placental involvement or maternal illness. Brachial plexus injury is a birth injury related to delivery mechanics rather than the viral infection itself. Therefore, hyperemesis gravidarum stands out as the option not listed as a hepatitis C–related pregnancy complication.
