Prepare for the 'Baby Plan' and say 'NO' to high blood pressure during pregnancy!
Every time I go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, the first examination item is measuring blood pressure. Only after measuring blood pressure can I proceed to the next consultation step. Regardless of whether you are pregnant with your first or second child, whether you are a young mom or an older pregnant woman, and regardless of whether you are overweight or underweight, measuring blood pressure is a necessary item for every prenatal check-up at the hospital. Some expectant mothers find it troublesome and ask, 'Why do I have to measure my blood pressure every time I go for a check-up? My last blood pressure result was normal.'

The purpose of measuring blood pressure is to help everyone rule out pregnancy-induced hypertension diseases, which include five types of conditions, the most common being preeclampsia. Preeclampsia refers to elevated blood pressure after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which may or may not be accompanied by proteinuria or edema in the lower limbs or even the whole body. In severe cases, symptoms such as headache, chest tightness, dizziness, and upper abdominal pain may occur. The incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension diseases is not low, around 5% to 12%.
Preeclampsia poses a serious threat to maternal and infant safety.
Pregnancy-induced hypertension diseases are extremely dangerous. For pregnant mothers, it can lead to placental abruption, cerebral hemorrhage, retinal detachment, preeclampsia, and eclampsia; for the baby, the incidence of intrauterine growth restriction and neonatal asphyxia significantly increases.
Eclampsia is the most severe stage of pregnancy-induced hypertension disease, posing a serious threat to maternal and infant safety! If a pregnant mother experiences headache, chest tightness, dizziness, upper abdominal pain, limb edema, or significant weight gain, these danger signals indicate that she should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check for preeclampsia and must not be careless.
If a pregnant mother was already a hypertension patient before pregnancy, she should go to the hospital as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. The doctor will design a personalized treatment plan based on her condition and closely monitor her throughout the pregnancy.
Three measures to effectively prevent pregnancy-induced hypertension.
Currently, there is no method to completely cure pregnancy-induced hypertension diseases, but taking preventive measures in daily life can effectively prevent them.
Manage weight:
After becoming pregnant, family members often encourage the pregnant woman to eat a lot of nutritious food for the child's health, leading to excessive weight gain. However, eating more does not necessarily mean the baby will be healthier; it can actually have many negative effects.
Control diet and sleep.
Supplement an appropriate amount of vitamins, iron, zinc, etc., along with a variety of fruits and vegetables. This not only provides sufficient trace elements but also the fiber in fruits and vegetables can aid digestion and prevent constipation. Additionally, ensuring adequate high-quality sleep is extremely important.
Regular prenatal check-ups.
Prenatal check-ups are very important; none should be missed. Strictly follow the doctor's guidance for monitoring and assessing the pregnancy, controlling blood pressure and disease progression, preventing complications, closely monitoring the fetal growth and development, and promptly identifying and addressing abnormalities to ensure the safety of both mother and baby.
