Associated risks to the fetus include intrauterine growth restriction, preterm delivery,
low birth weight, and neonatal ICU admission. Ongoing monitoring for increased
pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, most often the liver and
blood pressure had been normal. Preeclampsia can also lead to eclampsia, a serious
condition that can have health risks for mom and baby and, in rare cases, cause death.
If preeclampsia leads to seizures, you may have eclampsia. The only cure for
preeclampsia is to give birth. Even after delivery, symptoms of preeclampsia can last
6 weeks or more.

pregnancy when she was 23. She delivered a full-term female child at a birthing
center via normal spontaneous delivery. She had a complete prenatal check-up with 2
doses of Tetanus Toxoid. Ferrous sulfate and folic acid supplementation was
prescribed, however due to GI upset, the patient did not comply. At the age of 27, she
had her second child, however due to mild Pre-eclampsia she delivered a male child
via cesarian section. Methyldopa 250mg tablet was maintained taken twice a day. She
was also given dexamethasone at her 28 th week Age Of Gestation. Child was born at
36 weeks gestational age and was classified small for gestational age. Tetanous

Heart - The heart itself is made up of 4 chambers, 2 atria and 2 ventricles. De-
oxygenated blood returns to the right side of the heart via the venous circulation. It is
pumped into the right ventricle and then to the lungs where carbon dioxide is released
and oxygen is absorbed. The oxygenated blood then travels back to the left side of the
heart into the left atria, then into the left ventricle from where it is pumped into the
Lungs - The lungs are pyramid-shaped, paired organs that are connected to the
trachea by the right and left bronchi; on the inferior surface, the lungs are bordered by
the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the flat, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of
the lungs and thoracic cavity. The lungs are enclosed by the pleurae, which are
attached to the mediastinum. The right lung is shorter and wider than the left lung,
and the left lung occupies a smaller volume than the right. The cardiac notch is an
indentation on the surface of the left lung, and it allows space for the heart. The apex
of the lung is the superior region, whereas the base is the opposite region near the
diaphragm. The costal surface of the lung borders the ribs. The mediastinal surface
Liver - The liver holds about one pint (13%) of the body's blood supply at any
given moment. The liver consists of 2 main lobes. Both are made up of 8 segments
that consist of 1,000 lobules (small lobes). These lobules are connected to small ducts
(tubes) that connect with larger ducts to form the common hepatic duct.

although the right kidney is often situated slightly lower due to the presence of the

● Potassium, magnesium,

hand, may help control
blood pressure. Fruits and
vegetables are high in
potassium, magnesium,
and fiber, and they’re low
in sodium. Stick to whole
fruits and veggies. Juice is
less helpful, because the

age, chronic hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (Ruano R, et al., 2005). Other studies
indicate that, after adjusting for other cofounders, women of advanced maternal age
are 1.5 times more likely to have preeclampsia compared to those under 35 years of
age (Lamminpää R, et al., 2008). Multiple pregnancy is a moderate risk factor for the
who have any of the other moderate risk factors for pre-eclampsia (first pregnancy,
age 40 years or older, pregnancy interval of more than 10 years, BMI of 35 kg/m2 or
more at first visit, or family history of preeclampsia), should receive a daily aspirin
