Pre-eclampsia is a condition that occurs only during pregnancy. Some symptoms may include high blood pressure and protein in the urine, usually occurring after week 20 of pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia is often precluded by gestational hypertension. While high blood pressure during pregnancy does not necessarily indicate pre-eclampsia, it may be a sign of another problem. The condition affects at least 5-8% of pregnancies.
May is National Pre-eclampsia Awareness Month
