Content updated on Oct 10, 2023
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.
Currently pregnant
Swelling of any body part
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose preeclampsia
Are you currently pregnant?
Do you have any swelling in any part of your body?
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.
