The types of hypertension in pregnancy discussed here. Compared to hypertension without pregnancy, high blood pressure in pregnant women requires different guidelines and treatments. This condition requires prompt attention since both the mother’s and her baby’s health are involved.

Types of Hypertension in Pregnancy

Chronic Hypertension

This condition indicates that a woman had hypertension before becoming pregnant. It may also show up in the first half of pregnancy. Since there are no particular symptoms of hypertension, it may be difficult to point out how long you may have been affected by this condition.

Gestational Hypertension

This condition occurs in the second half of pregnancy and may last until the end. In most cases, there may not be any other serious issues, and the problem resolves after delivery. However, some high-blood-pressure pregnant women may develop preeclampsia near the end of their pregnancy.

Types of Hypertension in Pregnancy

Chronic Hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia

Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and a decreased platelet count are characteristics of the HELLP syndrome brought on by preeclampsia. These women run the risk of developing high blood pressure and proteinuria. They may also be prone to other serious issues related to hypertension.  

Preeclampsia

It leads to protein in the urine, inflammation of the mother’s face, hands, and feet, and damage to organs such as the heart, liver, brain, and kidneys. The preeclampsia can be fatal to both the mother and the unborn child if untreated. Water retention and leg swelling are possible, but it can be challenging to tell this from a typical pregnancy.

The early detection and treatment of high blood pressure during pregnancy require routine examinations. Women with hypertension also have normal pregnancies and births without any adverse effects. I hope the above-furnished content is informative and valuable. Please keep reading and share it with your friends and family members on social networks.
