The body condition of each woman is different, hence each pregnancy is unique, including the complications that might be incurred. Being well informed and having regular check-ups with the gynaecologist will definitely help to reduce the risks of those complications. The following are some of the commons conditions that one needs to bear in mind when carrying a precious one.
1. Pre-Eclampsia or Eclampsia
The signs of pre-eclampsia are high blood pressure and swelling of the feet, legs, and hands caused by high levels of protein in the urine. These symptoms are sometimes not felt by pregnant women and they should immediately be taken care of by the doctors when discovered. There is no cure for pre-eclampsia and if poorly managed it will continue to turn into eclampsia which is much more fatal. The expectant mothers will have a seizure and be forced to deliver the baby immediately to avoid maternal and infant mortality. The condition makes babies to be born prematurely. There is no known cause of pre-eclampsia and the risk of developing one is higher during first pregnancy and for pregnant teens and women over 40 years old.
