What are the methods to treat or prevent preeclampsia?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor.

With my first pregnancy, I had severe preeclampsia, which was diagnosed six days after the 32nd week with the objective of inducing at 34 weeks but delivered three days later owing to failure to manage blood pressure. How likely is recurring preeclampsia in a subsequent pregnancy?

Please help

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Severe preeclampsia in the first pregnancy is harmful to future pregnancies because it raises the odds of preeclampsia in later pregnancies by five to seventy percent in many situations. I recommend that you begin taking medication to improve placental implantation as well as a blood thinner to maintain uterine impedance low. Also, did your blood pressure return to normal after that? Are you currently using any blood pressure medication? Have you stopped using Labetalol (beta-blocker) and Nifedipine (calcium channel blocker) since then?

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello doctor.

Without medication, my blood pressure is now normal (115/80 mmHg at my previous checkup). At 12 weeks postpartum, I stopped using all blood pressure medications.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It appears that you have discontinued all medications, however I urge that you exercise before becoming pregnant. Walking or running for 30 to 45 minutes per day might help you achieve better results. Dietary adjustments are also necessary.You can take vitamins before attempting to conceive. There is still a potential that you might experience preeclampsia in the future, so get your blood pressure checked at home or at the local clinic.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
