Eclampsia symptoms

Preeclampsia (also known as preeclampsia) was previously called toxemia of pregnancy. It is a more complex disease that affects 5% to 8% of pregnant women. If you develop high blood pressure and urine protein after 20 weeks of pregnancy, you will be diagnosed with preeclampsia. Most of the symptoms begin to manifest after 37 weeks, but they can also be manifested during the second half of pregnancy, during childbirth, or even any time after delivery (usually 24 to 48 hours after delivery). Preeclampsia can also occur during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, but this is rare, as in pregnant women with hydatidiform moles. Preeclampsia varies in severity and progresses rapidly or slowly. The only way to relieve the condition is to give birth to your baby.
