Pregnancy induced hypertension, also known as gestational hypertension, is a common complication among pregnant women. Pregnancy induced hypertension can cause varying degrees of harm to both the mother and the fetus. Due to its potential harm to the fetus, some pregnant women may worry about whether pregnancy induced hypertension can lead to full-term delivery? So below, let me explain in detail to pregnant friends.
Pregnant women who suffer from gestational hypertension during pregnancy, as long as they can detect it early and take effective measures to control the condition in a timely manner, it will not have a significant impact on the fetus. The treatment for gestational hypertension is to inject an appropriate dose of insulin according to the severity of the condition to stabilize the condition, while adjusting lifestyle and dietary habits.
Pregnancy induced hypertension clinically presents with symptoms such as high blood pressure (both times at 140/90 mmHg), edema, proteinuria, headache, dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, etc. If the condition is not well controlled, as the condition progresses, symptoms such as convulsions, coma, and heart and kidney failure may occur, and in severe cases, death may occur.
Pregnancy induced hypertension often occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy and can be classified into mild, moderate, and severe (preeclampsia and eclampsia) according to the severity. Eclampsia is a condition where seizures occur on the basis of hypertension symptoms. Women under the age of 20 or over 40, twin or multiple pregnancies, overweight, or those with cardiovascular disease are all high-risk groups for pregnancy induced hypertension.
