Pregnancy Induced Hypertension

Pre-eclampsia is a dangerous condition that can occur during pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure and increased protein in the urine. It is also known as pregnancy-induced hypertension, or PIH for short.

Most cases of Pre-eclampsia or pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) are mild and don't cause any problems. It can make the mother have seizures, called "eclampsia." It can slow the growth of the baby. It can kill the mother and the baby if it isn't treated.

Women can have pre-eclampsia without showing any signs. It is important to have regular prenatal checks of blood pressure and urine to find the condition before it becomes dangerous for the mother and baby. If you can't make it to a prenatal appointment, it's important to reschedule it.

Pre-eclampsia is also called pre-eclamptic toxaemia or hypertensive disease of pregnancy.

Faqs

Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a type of high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy. It is diagnosed through blood pressure readings taken at prenatal appointments, and it is usually defined as blood pressure of 140/90 mm Hg or higher on two or more occasions at least six hours apart. PIH can cause complications for both the mother and baby, so it is important to monitor and manage blood pressure during pregnancy.

PIH can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, premature birth, and low birth weight. It can also lead to health problems for the mother, such as kidney damage or stroke. To manage PIH, women may need to monitor their blood pressure more frequently, follow a healthy diet and exercise plan, and take medication as prescribed by their healthcare provider, such as Dr. Arati Kotpal at Kotpal Hospital.

Women can reduce their risk of developing PIH by maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and following a healthy diet during pregnancy. If women are diagnosed with PIH, they should work closely with their healthcare provider, such as Dr. Arati Kotpal at Kotpal Hospital, to manage their blood pressure and monitor for any potential complications. Regular prenatal care is important for managing PIH and ensuring the health of both the mother and baby.

General and High-Risk Obstetrics

Anaemia

One risk of being pregnant is getting anaemia. When you have anaemia, there aren't enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to your tissues and your baby.

When you're pregnant, your body makes more blood to help your baby grow. If you don't get enough iron or other nutrients in your food, your body might not be able to make enough red blood cells to make this extra blood.

Most pregnant women have a mild form of anaemia. But if you don't get enough iron, vitamins, or something else, your anaemia could get worse.

A person with anaemia might feel tired and weak. If it gets bad and isn't taken care of, it can make problems like preterm birth more likely.

During your prenatal test, Dr. Arati Kotpal will check for anaemia. It is usually found in the blood during a regular test.

Faqs

Anemia is common during pregnancy, with up to 50% of pregnant women experiencing some degree of anemia. The most common cause of anemia in pregnancy is a lack of iron, which is needed to make hemoglobin in red blood cells. Other factors that can contribute to anemia during pregnancy include a history of anemia, heavy menstrual bleeding, a poor diet, or multiple pregnancies.

Anemia during pregnancy can increase the risk of complications for both the mother and baby, such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. To manage anemia during pregnancy, women may need to take iron supplements as prescribed by their healthcare provider, such as Dr. Arati Kotpal at Kotpal Hospital, and make dietary changes to increase their intake of iron-rich foods. In severe cases of anemia, blood transfusions may be necessary.

Women can prevent or manage anemia during pregnancy by eating a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of iron-rich foods, such as red meat, beans, dark leafy greens, and fortified cereals. Women who are at risk of anemia, such as those with a history of anemia or heavy menstrual bleeding, may need to take iron supplements during pregnancy as prescribed by their healthcare provider. Regular prenatal care with a healthcare provider, such as Dr. Arati Kotpal at Kotpal Hospital, is also important for monitoring and managing anemia during pregnancy.
