Hypertension during pregnancy

So far the cause of this disease is not known, so it is impossible to carry out prevention in a very targeted manner. But obstetric check-ups are done 10 to 12 times throughout pregnancy. The first two basic tests of each obstetric examination are a weight measurement and a blood pressure measurement. Because if you can do regular pregnancy check-ups, you will find pregnant women with such diseases in time.

The clinical manifestations of hypertension during pregnancy are three major symptoms. In general, pregnant women are young, and young women often have no obvious symptoms after high blood pressure, so they will not take the initiative to seek medical treatment.

Most pregnant women will have physiological edema in the middle and third trimester of pregnancy, some edema will not care, and even if he has protein in his urine, pregnant women will not have any symptoms, so they do not have the ability to recognize the disease early. Clinicians can only judge based on advanced pregnant women (over 35 years old), obese pregnant women, and pregnant women with diabetes, or have high blood pressure, nephritis, or some diseases like immune diseases, on this basis, women with such diseases are very prone to gestational hypertension when they are pregnant, so we call such people high-risk diseases.

As a pregnant woman, check-ups are done every four weeks before 28 weeks and every two weeks before 28 to 36 weeks. Many pregnant women develop symptoms of illness between tests between pregnancy visits. If the weight gain of more than 0.5 kg per week in the middle and third trimester of pregnancy, and even the edema of the lower extremities, or even the edema gradually from the knees, thighs to the waist and even the whole body is swollen, these are very dangerous signals, you should go to the hospital in time, not necessarily wait until two months later to make an appointment. Pregnant women themselves should do a good job of monitoring, because now such monitoring is very easy, blood pressure meters, weight gauges can be bought, or can go to community hospitals, can find their early abnormalities.

Elderly pregnant women with a history of obesity, advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, and a tendency to have a viscous blood pressure should also pay attention to their blood pressure in these processes of resting at home after giving birth. Pregnancy hypertension should be paid attention to the situation that induces cerebrovascular accidents, and if there is a local limb movement abnormality, it should go to the hospital in time.
