Now that the country has fully opened up the second child policy, many mothers want to have a second child. So is the idea of having a second child feasible for women with hypertension? Is the second child born in this situation healthy? Will it cause greater harm to the mother's health? Let's take a look at the article shared by the editor below.
What should I do if I have high blood pressure and want to have a second child
Pregnant women with hypertension are divided into the following situations:
Eclampsia: Combined with preeclampsia and seizures, cannot be explained by other reasons. Pre eclampsia and eclampsia account for 1% of the total number of pregnancies, and these two conditions pose extremely high risks to both the mother and the fetus.
There is a history of chronic hypertension in the past, and there is no significant increase in blood pressure during pregnancy, nor is there any manifestation of preeclampsia such as proteinuria. This accounts for 1% of the total number of pregnancies, and as long as blood pressure is well controlled, the risk is relatively low.
What to pay attention to when having a second child due to hypertension
Control high blood pressure, pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late and overworking, do not engage in vigorous exercise, do not drink alcohol, do not eat spicy foods, and eat less sweet and fried foods. Low salt and low-fat dietary habits. It is possible to conceive and give birth to a baby. If you have another child, consider the high risk. I suggest you carefully consider that your physical condition does not allow you to have a second child, as you are older and have high blood pressure, which poses a high risk to both the fetus and your life.
After the explanation by the editor, I believe everyone has gained some understanding. The editor would like to emphasize that pre pregnancy checkups are necessary. Women who want to have a second child should not consider themselves as experienced and think that many tests can be done or not, as this will bring great risks to themselves.
