Are you experiencing symptoms such as sudden weight gain, headaches, or changes in vision? These symptoms could mean you have pre-eclampsia, a dangerous condition that causes high blood pressure and can affect both mother and baby during the second and third trimesters. Pre-eclampsia can result in eclampsia, which can lead to seizures, coma or even death of the mother or baby. During your prenatal visits, your doctor will check your blood pressure, urine and swelling, but if you have any warning signs of pre-eclampsia, contact your doctor immediately.
