Gestational diabetes is a frequent complaint in maternal-fetal medicine; cases are on the rise and therefore neonatal complications in children of mothers with gestational diabetes, which will be reviewed in order to clarify the cause and treatment update. Our study is descriptive and consulted the database: Science Direct, Ovid, Medline, PubMed, LILACS. The objective is to review the gestational diabetes as an entity and describe major neonatal complications. Within the approach of a pregnant woman diagnosed with diabetes mellitus should classify whether type 1 or type 2, set a clear goal in the value of blood glucose and most importantly a nutrition plan, if the above is not possible neonatal complications are and the risk of imminent death in utero is higher. During pregnancy, gynecological evaluation helps us discard obstrética congenital malformations in the fetus at birth and assess neonatal adaptation to initiate early treatment and reduce mortality in the newborn of a diabetic mother.
