Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife is twenty-five years old this year, and she is currently pregnant. It's her first day, but she has preeclampsia in her first pregnancy. We had also planned to have a second child, and now that this condition has reappeared, we are a bit worried. We also don't know if it might worsen. If I get pregnant again, doctor, will it worsen?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if you had gestational hypertension during your first pregnancy, there may be an increased chance of it recurring in your next pregnancy, but it's not guaranteed to happen 100% of the time. So you don't need to be overly anxious right now. You should pay attention to a lighter diet and avoid greasy foods. Then, after giving birth, have your blood pressure checked regularly to monitor any changes.
