คุณแม่ตั้งครรภ์ ควรดูแลตนเองอย่างไร? ให้ห่างไกลภาวะครรภ์เป็นพิษ

<p>When <span style="color: #00826e"><strong>a mother is pregnant</strong></span>, one thing that the mother should know for the safety of both herself and the baby in the womb is to take care of herself to stay away from <span style="color: #00826e"><strong>‘preeclampsia’</strong></span>.</p>
<h4></h4>
<h4><span style="color: #00826e"><span style="color: #00826a">What is preeclampsia?</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></h4>
<p><span style="color: #00826a"><strong>Preeclampsia</strong></span> refers to a complication during pregnancy, mostly occurring after 20 weeks of gestation or during the third trimester. The mother will have abnormally high blood pressure, which subsequently affects various organs causing them to function abnormally.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In cases where the mother has <strong><span style="color: #00826e">‘severe preeclampsia’</span></strong> (Preeclampsia with severe features), the danger from complications will be more severe. It may cause abnormal bleeding, liver and kidney dysfunction, seizures, and if not treated promptly, it can lead to the death of both the mother and the baby in the womb.</p>
