eclampsia.
PRE-ECLAMPSIA
Pre-eclampsia is a medical condition in which hypertension arises in
pregnancy (pregnancy-induced hypertension) in association with
significant amounts of protein in the urine. Pre-eclampsia refers to a
set of symptoms rather than any causative factor, and there are many
different causes for the condition. It appears likely that there are
substances from the placenta that can cause endothelial dysfunction in
the maternal blood vessels of susceptible women.[1] While blood
pressure elevation is the most visible sign of the disease, it involves
generalized damage to the maternal endothelium, kidneys, and liver,
with the release of vasoconstrictive factors being secondary to the
original damage.
DIAGNOSIS
CAUSES
COMPLICATIONS
Eclampsia can occur after the onset of pre-eclampsia. Eclampsia,
which is a more serious condition, complicates 1 in 2000 maternities in
the United Kingdom and carries a maternal mortality of 1.8 percent.
The HELLP syndrome is more common, probably about 1 in 500
maternities, but may be as dangerous as eclampsia itself. These two
major maternal crises can present unheralded by prodromal signs of
pre-eclampsia.
I. CESAREAN SECTION
A Cesarean section (C-section) is surgery to deliver a baby. The baby is
taken out through the mother's abdomen. In the United States, about
one in four women have their babies this way. Most C-sections are
done when unexpected problems happen during delivery. These
include
C-sections are also more common among women carrying more than
one baby.
The surgery is relatively safe for mother and baby. Still, it is major
surgery and carries risks. It also takes longer to recover from a C-
section than from vaginal birth. After healing, the incision may leave a
weak spot in the wall of the uterus. This could cause problems with an
attempted vaginal birth later. However, more than half of women who
have a C-section can give vaginal birth later.

Events Weeks of
Pregnancy
1st Trimester
Fertilization occurs. 2
The fertilized egg (zygote)
begins to develop into a
hollow ball of cells called the
blastocyst.
2nd Trimester
3rd Trimester
The fetus is active, changing 25
positions often.
The lungs continue to
mature.
The fetus's head moves into
position for delivery.
On average, the fetus is
about 20 inches long and
weighs about 7 pounds. The
woman's enlarged abdomen
causes the navel to bulge.
