Hypertension During Pregnancy
February 7, 2009
Before discussing about the implication of hypertension during pregnancy, let’s have some basic idea about the hypertension. If someone has a very high blood pressure, more than 140/90 then we can say he or she is suffering from hypertension.
Chronic high blood pressure may cause heart attack, kidney damage or strokes in the brain as well. To have a control over blood pressure, medication is available. However, such medication should be avoided by the pregnant women during the later period, as they might cause deformities to the baby. If it is necessary to take medicine then consult with a good physician.
On the other hand, if you don’t treat hypertension immediately during pregnancy then again it might cause severe consequences for the both baby and mother. Many time it happens that due to hypertension in mother, the blood circulation get obstructed in child, as it is connected with mother through the placenta. This could lead to the premature ageing of placenta, which eventually leads to restrictive growth.
If you are planning to conceive, but have the problem of hypertension then it’s better to consult with your physician in detail about this problem and its consequences. Don’t feel scared, as today’s medical science has its solution. However, you have to be careful and be regular in consulting your doctor.
Don’t think that you are not going to suffer from hypertension during pregnancy as you never had the record of having it earlier. Especially, during pregnancy many suffer from this. People suffering from high blood pressure during pregnancy usually witness some symptoms like swelling, jerk in knee, spilling out protein in urine and etc.
If you feel such symptoms in you then immediately consult with your doctor without delay. Or else, it can create real worse situation for you. Better be watchful!
