Wherein, the most prominent one is preeclampsia.In case of
this pregnancy induced hypertension, initially you witness a surge in
systolic
BP by thirty mm and diastolic BP by twenty mm. Presence
of protein contents in urine confirms this type of hypertension.
It is just because of this preeclampsia resulted hypertension
a pregnant is constantly required to keep track of blood pressure. This blood
pressure complication usually arises in mid pregnancy. Women who have conceived
for the first time are very much susceptible to preeclampsia. Pregnancy in late
thirties or forties may also be a cause of such high blood pressure.
Among most pregnant women this preeclampsia propelled surge
in BP is witnessed after six or seven months of pregnancy. This high blood
pressure usually prevails till the delivery. Once the child is borne the
hypertension lowers down and vanishes within few days. If a woman suffers a
greater surge in blood pressure in her later stage of pregnancy, cesarean
delivery before the scheduled date of delivery remains the only option. For,
only the delivery would result in normalcy of blood pressure.
Although a less severe case of preeclampsia is difficult to
be identified, a reasonably higher level of preeclampsia hypertension could be
identified with constant headache, frequent vomiting, dizziness and blurring of
vision.
A pregnant woman must be informed of various symptoms of this
hypertension so that she could take immediate action once she finds herself with
these symptoms.
This hypertension originates probably due to placental
disorder. It is said that placental blood vessels constricts to result in
hypertension. Women may also suffer from this complication due to less than
required intake of various vitamins and nutrients that are essential during
pregnancy. Some hormonal disorders may also contribute to this hypertension.
All in all, I would suggest all pregnant women to take
preventive measures for preeclampsia as it adds to the ordeal of being pregnant.
