WHAT EVERY MOM-TO-BE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT PREECLAMPSIA
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also comes with conditions that every expectant mother should understand β and one of them is preeclampsia.
Many people think preeclampsia is just βhigh blood pressure during pregnancy,β but it is much more than that. It is a serious condition that can affect different organs in the body and may put both mother and baby at risk if not detected early.
Preeclampsia usually develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy and can happen even in women who have never had blood pressure problems before.
β οΈ Some warning signs may include:
β’ Severe headaches
β’ Swelling of the face, hands or feet
β’ Blurred vision
β’ Severe abdominal pain
β’ Difficulty breathing
β’ Reduced baby movements
The good news? Early detection saves lives.
That is why attending regular ANC clinics is very important. During your clinic visits, healthcare providers monitor your blood pressure, urine, babyβs growth and overall pregnancy progress. Ultrasounds also help in assessing the wellbeing of the baby and identifying possible risks early.
At Haven Healthcare, we are committed to ensuring every mother receives quality and compassionate maternity care throughout her pregnancy journey. Our team is here to support, monitor and guide you every step of the way.

β

β
