Patient's question:
First pregnancy with preeclampsiaDoctor's answer:
Hello: Pregnant women with gestational hypertension should engage in moderate exercise to enhance their disease resistance. Calcium supplementation should be appropriately administered during pregnancy. Generally, it is recommended to start supplementing from the 20th week of pregnancy, which can reduce the incidence of gestational hypertension. Additionally, pregnant women with gestational hypertension should sleep in a left lateral position. This position prevents the uterus from compressing the major blood vessels adjacent to the spine, allowing the lower limb veins to return blood to the heart normally. As a result, it can prevent edema and reduce the occurrence of gestational hypertension. It is also important to regularly undergo prenatal examinations.
