What is Preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication involving high blood pressure that can develop suddenly. It typically starts after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and can happen after delivery as well. Severe cases can include organ damage, such as to the liver and kidneys. Eclampsia is a further complication when the patient develops seizures due to the pregnancy.
Typical Symptoms of Preeclampsia

Feel my child is moving less. (Decreased fetal movements)
Episode of high blood pressure (systolic blood pressure of 140mmHg and above)
Decrease in urine volume
Swelling of the arms or hands
Headache
Facial swelling
Premature separation of the normal placenta (placental abruption)
Doctor's Diagnostic Questionson Preeclampsia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Are you pregnant?
Is your child moving less?
Are you urinating less?
Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
Treatmentof Preeclampsia
Prompt medical care is necessary with the OB/GYN and appropriate specialists. Medications to control the blood pressure and reduce the risk of seizure are typically started. Depending on how far along the pregnancy is, delivery of the baby may be recommended to treat the condition and keep the mom and baby safe. If safe to do so, the specialist may suggest more frequent check-ups and/or medication to control blood pressure while allowing the pregnancy to continue.
