How does eclampsia affect the baby?

Eclampsia often occurs in the late stages of pregnancy. Once it occurs, it will cause harm to both the fetus and the pregnant woman. Therefore, pregnant women should not only understand the symptoms of eclampsia, but also do a good job of daily prevention, so as to ensure the health of their own body and the fetus. If they do not pay attention to it, it will easily induce the occurrence of many diseases. So what effect does eclampsia have on the baby?

First, what impact does eclampsia have on the baby? The connection between the pregnant woman and the fetus is through the umbilical cord, and the umbilical cord is attached to the pregnant woman's uterus through the placenta. If a pregnant woman suffers from gestational eclampsia, she will experience symptoms of abnormal small arteries, which will lead to insufficient blood supply to the placenta, and the fetus cannot obtain nutrition normally, and its growth and development are restricted.

Second, eclampsia can cause fetal distress, hypoxia, and even fetal death. Swollen feet are not a precursor. Preeclampsia is a condition that occurs before convulsions, accompanied by headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, etc. on the basis of pregnancy-induced hypertension, indicating that eclampsia is about to occur. It is recommended that you seek medical attention in time, control your blood pressure, and avoid danger.

Third, if a pregnant woman's preeclampsia worsens into eclampsia, she will suddenly develop symptoms such as coma and convulsions, which will cause her blood vessels to constrict and affect the blood flow to the uterus. When the blood flow to the uterus in the pregnant woman's body decreases, symptoms such as fetal maldevelopment, decreased amniotic fluid and placental abruption may occur. When eclampsia occurs, the baby is usually delivered prematurely. The fetus may be immature and prone to disease after birth. If the pregnant woman has severe eclampsia, intravascular embolism or placental abruption may occur on the basis of placental dysfunction, causing fetal distress, or even stillbirth, stillbirth, or neonatal death. Moreover, when the pregnant woman's condition is serious, in order to control preeclampsia, the pregnancy needs to be terminated early, which means that the chance of premature birth of the fetus is relatively high. Premature babies have poor living abilities, and children with gestational hypertension have weaker constitutions, so the mortality rate is also high.

What impact does eclampsia have on the baby? If a pregnant woman suffers from severe eclampsia, the condition is serious, blood vessels are blocked, the placental function will be reduced, and in severe cases, placental abruption may even occur, causing the fetus to be distressed in the uterus and have a reduced range of motion. If the pregnancy is not terminated early, the fetus may die from lack of oxygen. Therefore, pregnant women should seek timely treatment and take good care of themselves when the disease occurs to avoid affecting the fetus.
