High Blood Pressure during Pregnancy, so so not good!

PRE-ECLAMPSIA



A woman can be called a real woman, if she is able to outgrown an angel inside her womb. For some it is the greatest achievement and utmost happiness they could ever receive.
But did you know that alongside with the blissful feeling and excitement, there is copious of risks behind it.
A woman's reproductive system starts to develop during puberty. All the secondary characteristics are formed during the pubertal stage. All the same, the body is developing more and more. At puberty, on the menarche stage of a young lady, the hormones of the body start to develop the reproductive system for pregnancy.

Once pregnancy seats in, lots of risks are expected and several cautions should be observed to have a safe pregnancy.

One, is Pre-Eclampsia
Pre-Eclampsia is a state where in the blood pressure of a pregnant woman arises up until 140/160 millimeters of mercury /mmHg (which is considered to be high blood pressure).

It would be better to seek early consultation than to arrive to a point that pre-eclampsia would level up to ECLAMPSIA, which is quite more serious for a pregnant woman can experience seizures this time.
