What Causes Preeclampsia?
1. Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is a condition that tends to occur after around 20 weeks in pregnancies. The condition is typified by high blood pressure that will cause damage in some cases. It occurs even in women whose blood pressure has otherwise been normal up until the preeclampsia begins.
Preeclampsia is potentially a very serious condition and can threaten the life of both the mother and the child. The most effective way to overcome preeclampsia is to deliver the baby. However, this is not always possible as the baby may not have yet developed enough. Preeclampsia can also happen after delivery, but this is rare.
