The ultrasound results indicated that the baby was 3 weeks smaller than the actual gestational age. On the 28th, high blood pressure and generalized edema were discovered. On the 30th, induction of labor was performed. The diagnosis was severe preeclampsia.Doctor's answer:
Hello, preeclampsia is a disease specific to pregnancy, while severe preeclampsia is a severe stage of preeclampsia and is one of the important factors or causes of maternal and perinatal mortality. The impact of this disease on the fetus is mainly due to placental blood supply insufficiency caused by uterine vascular spasm, leading to placental dysfunction, which can result in fetal distress, fetal growth restriction, stillbirth, fetal death, or neonatal death. Since the cause of this disease is unclear, it is currently not possible to completely prevent its occurrence. However, taking the following preventive measures plays an important role in preventing preeclampsia.Suggestions:
1. Ensure good prenatal care, conduct regular prenatal examinations, and promptly identify and correct abnormalities.
2. Pregnant women should reduce the intake of fat and salt while increasing the consumption of foods rich in protein, vitamins, and trace elements.
3. Perform predictive diagnosis.
Lifestyle care: Pay attention to rest, reduce stress and pressure, and maintain a positive mindset and emotional state.
