This month of May is Pre-eclampsia awareness month and yesterday, the 22nd of May was World #PreEclampsia Day. Eclampsia is a severe complication of preeclampsia. It’s a rare but serious condition where #highbloodpressure results in seizures during #pregnancy.
Seizures are periods of disturbed brain activity that can cause episodes of staring, decreased alertness, and convulsions (violent shaking). Eclampsia affects about 1 in every 200 women with preeclampsia. You can develop eclampsia even if you don’t have a history of seizures.
The following are common symptoms of pre-eclampsia: elevated blood pressure swelling in your face or hands, headaches, excessive weight gain, nausea, and vomiting just to mention a few.
This morning on Breakfast central, we had AWARD-WINNING MEDIA PERSONALITY – SHINE BEGHO who has chosen to create more awareness of Pre-eclampsia.
