What is pre-eclampsia?
Pre-eclampsia is a condition that seriously threatens the health of both mother and baby. It occurs during the later stages of pregnancy and after delivery, causing fluid retention and protein to build up in the mother’s urine. It generally results in the mother’s blood pressure rising to dangerous levels. Other symptoms include headaches, swelling, nausea, weight gain, breathing problems and abdominal pain.
Medical staff usually discover pre-eclampsia during the screening process and will treat it appropriately. However, occasionally the condition goes undetected or untreated, with potentially serious consequences for the health of mother and baby.
Failure to diagnose pre-eclampsia can lead to a stroke, organ failure and even death.
Maternity units need to be particularly aware of those groups of women who are most at risk of pre-eclampsia, such as first time mums, multiple pregnancies, family history, age and obesity.
