Can I have a second child with gestational hypertension?

Preeclampsia is a relatively serious disease, so girls must pay attention to the possibility of high blood pressure during pregnancy. If there are any abnormal conditions, they must go to the hospital for examination in time and decide on their own reproductive process under the advice and guidance of obstetricians and gynecologists. Do not be too blind, because preeclampsia will not only affect the fetus, but also have an impact on the health of pregnant women. So, is it possible to have a second child with gestational hypertension?

1. Treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension: general treatment

Rest in the left side lying position: Rest is extremely important for gestational hypertension, and the left side lying position has important therapeutic significance. The left lateral decubitus position can correct the right rotation of the pregnant uterus, reduce the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries, and increase the blood supply to the uterus and placenta; reduce the pressure of the pregnant uterus on the inferior vena cava, increase the amount of blood returning to the heart, thereby increasing renal blood flow and urine volume; improve the blood supply to the uterus and placenta, and correct fetal intrauterine hypoxia; clinical observations show that subjective symptoms are alleviated, weight is reduced, and edema subsides, with obvious therapeutic effects.

2. Treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension: diet

Pregnant women should limit calories appropriately and avoid overeating. Because obesity is a risk factor for gestational hypertension, and pregnant women require less calories after bed rest, excessive calorie load can aggravate the condition. Appropriately reduce salt intake. Excessive salt intake can cause sodium to be retained in the blood vessel walls, increasing the sensitivity of the blood vessel walls to pressor substances. Eat high-quality high-protein food, because pregnancy-induced hypertension causes proteinuria, often accompanied by hypoproteinemia, except for those with renal insufficiency. Appropriate supplementation of vitamins, minerals and calcium can reduce the incidence of gestational hypertension.

3. Three major symptoms of pregnancy-induced hypertension

3.1. Mild gestational hypertension: The main manifestation is a slight increase in blood pressure, which may be accompanied by mild edema and trace proteinuria. This stage can last from a few days to a few weeks and can develop gradually or worsen rapidly.

3.2. Moderate gestational hypertension: Blood pressure rises further, but does not exceed 21.3/14.7 KPa (160/110 mmHg), urine protein increases, accompanied by edema, and may have mild subjective symptoms such as dizziness.

3.3. Severe gestational hypertension: including pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Blood pressure exceeds 21.3/14.7KPa (160/110 mmHg), urine protein is above 10~++, edema varies in degree, and subjective symptoms such as headache and dizziness appear. In severe cases, there are convulsions and coma.
