Patient's question:
I recently just found out that I am pregnant at the age of 39, which makes me a high-risk pregnancy. When I went for prenatal check-ups, the hospital recommended that I have a preeclampsia monitoring test. However, I noticed that other pregnant women didn't do it either. Is this test mandatory for all pregnant women to undergo a thorough examination? How is the preeclampsia monitoring test conducted?Doctor's answer:
To implement monitoring data for gestational hypertension, the main thing is to frequently measure blood pressure, because with age and pregnancy, it is very easy to cause a recurrence of high blood pressure. You can purchase an electronic blood pressure monitor and measure your blood pressure at fixed times every day to prevent the recurrence of high blood pressure. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid eating too salty foods, otherwise it is also very easy to cause high blood pressure.
