Pre-eclampsia will only start to affect you in, or after, the 20th week of pregnancy. It is possible for these symptoms to develop quite quickly as the complication rises. Pre-Eclampsia is often preceded by gestational hypertension.

Gestational hypertension is an illness relating to high blood pressure during pregnancy. High blood pressure can cause issues relating to blood flow to the placenta. This can stop your baby/babies from getting the right amount of oxygen and food.

Pregnancy toxaemia is thought to be caused by the placenta not receiving enough blood. This could be due to the placenta not developing properly. It is also possible for heightened blood pressure to prevent oxygen and food reaching the baby.

There is certainly a link between pre-eclampsia compensation and genetics. There is evidence that this health issue runs in families. If anyone in your close family, such as your mother or sister, suffers from pregnancy toxaemia, then you may be at risk.

A large percentage of women suffer from mild toxaemia. The symptoms of this health issues include:

  • High Blood Pressure.
  • Water Retention.
  • Protein in Urine.

A smaller percentage of women suffer from more severe pre-eclampsia. This can involve:

  • Serious Headaches.
  • Blurred Vision.
  • Fatigue.
  • Nausea/Vomiting.
  • Bruising.
  • Urinating Small Amounts.
  • Pain in the Abdomen.

For more serious cases of pre-eclampsia, your doctor may provide blood pressure medication. This will take you until the baby is fully formed. As soon as possible, your baby will be induced. This will be combined with bed rest and diet changes.

The main way to avoid the risks associated with pregnancy toxaemia is to change your diet. Some of the major changes you can make include:

  • Reducing Salt Intake.
  • Avoid Alcohol.
  • Avoid Caffeine.
  • Don’t Eat Fried or Junk Foods.
  • Drink Water Regularly.

If you’re suffering from mild pre-eclampsia, your doctor will recommend several minor treatments. These can include:

  • Increase in Prenatal Check Ups.
  • Less Salt/More Protein.
  • Drinking at Least 8 Glasses of Water Every Day.
  • Lying on Left Side to Free Major Blood Vessels.

Pre-eclampsia is not something that can be cured. Instead, it will need to be treated and managed until the baby is born, either naturally or following inducement. If you’ve suffered pre-eclampsia in the past, it is likely it will return during pregnancy.

Unfortunately, pre-eclampsia is a major cause of preterm births. In some cases, this can result in a few days of in-hospital care. In others, it can lead to terminal cases. Pregnancy toxaemia can also lead to long-term health issues, including learning disabilities.
