Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) also sometimes referred to as preeclampsia or toxemia occurs in about 5 to 10 percent of pregnancies. Chronic hypertension varies from PIH in that it is normally present prior to pregnancy. Both conditions, however, can pose serious health threats to both mother and baby. There are also cases of gestational high blood pressure which do not necessarily pose the same risks, but can increase the chances of the mother later developing PIH. Why PIH poses problems High blood pressure prevents blood to carry normally to all body parts. When there is a reduction in blood flow, it can affect the baby. Placental abrutpion, premature abruption from the placenta, can occur as a result of inadequate blood flow. The baby's nutritional needs may not be met in cases of PIH. That can result in the baby being underdeveloped. The worst case scenario is if PIH is not treated it may lead to death of mother or the baby. These are the symptoms of PIH: You may have a blurred vision, swelling in the ankles and also protien in the urine. Normally a number of symptoms are present when diagnosing PIH. These systems may result in regular trips to the doctor for monitoring to determine if PIH has developed is or likely to develop. Cure Delivery of the baby is almost always if not always necessary to cure PIH, The baby is not usually developed enough though until near the end of pregnancy for this option to be viable. In some serious cases they might need to get admitted in hospital. Complete rest in bed is advised for most of the PIH patients. The stress of a complicated pregnancy affects not just the mother, but those who love them especially the father or partner. I've spoken with a number of fathers whose own blood pressure soared as a result of such stress and tension during pregnancy. The health of a pregnant women can be increased by bringing down their tensions. Many babies born in a healthy state leaves their parents glad after a complicated pregnancy. But it is also very important not to ignore care before delivery. Whether you are experiencing a normal, healthy pregancy or a more complicated one, my blood pressure program can assist with stress reduction. Both partners can benefit greatly by reducing anxiety during such a sensitive time.
