Pregnant women with preeclampsia may suffer from life-threatening complications such as heart failure, cerebral hemorrhage, renal failure, postpartum hemorrhage, retinal detachment, blindness, etc.; the fetus may suffer from intrauterine growth retardation, placental abruption, premature birth, or even fetal stillbirth.

How to prevent preeclampsia?

The key to preventing eclampsia is to take good care of yourself during pregnancy. If a pregnant mother has symptoms of high blood pressure, proteinuria, or edema, she must not delay and must seek medical treatment in time. If she experiences dizziness, headache, or vision changes, she must be hospitalized for observation and treatment for the sake of her own health and that of the fetus.

Every autumn and winter, pregnant women with preeclampsia are hospitalized in droves, beds are in short supply, and ECG monitoring machines cannot be operated. Therefore, Bangma kindly reminds all pregnant mothers that no matter whether you are expecting your first or second child, you should always pay attention to your blood pressure and urine. Do not let high blood pressure and urine protein ruin your pregnancy.
