Patient's question:
1. In May 2013, at the age of 29, I was 6 months and 2 weeks pregnant when I was diagnosed with preeclampsia (proteinuria++, blood pressure 150, facial and limb edema) and had to terminate the pregnancy. At that time, the doctor said I had symptoms of kidney failure, and continuing the pregnancy could also lead to the child's kidney failure. As a result, I underwent an induced abortion on May 30, 2013. My blood pressure has returned to normal.2. I am O-negative blood type, and my husband is AB-positive. I don’t know if preeclampsia is related to our blood types.
3. Pre-pregnancy tests showed no problems with my uterus. However, during the fourth month of pregnancy, the doctor discovered a uterine septum.
Doctor's answer:
In your case, preeclampsia occurred early in pregnancy, and the condition is relatively severe. There is still a high likelihood of it recurring in the future. It is not closely related to your and your partner's blood type. Additionally, the occurrence of this condition is not related to whether the uterus has a septum. You can seek medical advice in the early stages of pregnancy, which can help prevent it to some extent. Measures such as taking appropriate calcium supplements and using aspirin may have a preventive effect.
