But entering the seventh month, Jennifer began to feel as healthy as usual. This situation lasted a few days, until one morning when she was looking in the mirror, she could hardly believe that swollen. Legs and his fingers are also swollen. "Maybe you're too tired," consoled her husband. However, because of the swelling was gone as well, although she has been reducing her activity, finally Jennifer decided to visit a gynecologist.

Jennifer turns high blood pressure (140/90). Whereas previously she had never suffered from high blood pressure. Her Docter suspects, Jennifer got preeclampsia. To further convince her diagnosis, Jennifer was asked to check her urine to the laboratory. Seriously,  Jennifer had urine protein (proteinuria).

Babies born erases swollen 

In pregnant women, swelling around the foot is normal. However, if the swelling to the face and the fingers, especially if never previously experienced renal impairment. You must be vigilant. because there is a chance you are suffering from preeclampsia.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy poisoning disease that usually appears in the pregnancy of 20 weeks. Usually characterized by increased blood pressure, swelling throughout the body and the presence of protein in the urine. Once the pregnancy is over, then the disease is gone, too. 

However, not be taken lightly. Maternal and fetal death in utero often caused the disease. Preeclampsia attacks for many people is often occured suddenly . Nevertheles, this is actually not the case. This disease comes gradually, and if handled carefully, progression to a more severe stage can be handled. In medicine there are three stages of preeclampsia disease, namely mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia and eclampsia. Jennifer cases classified as mild preeclampsia. When mild preeclampsia is 

not taken seriously, can thrive even become severe preeclampsia. That pregnant women frequently do not realize that mild preeclampsia began to attack her womb. Even sometimes obstetrician was not suspected. The problem arises only slight swelling and increased blood pressure which is also relatively little was not to cause interference. Moreover, at this stage of drawing the urine of pregnant women are sometimes not met protein. This is the danger. Because the next thing, you  knew preeclampsia have 

been more severe stage pad. On severe preeclampsia, blood pressure can be more than 160/110 and 

the swelling. In the examination of urine protein must also be found. Usually at this stage, the mother felt a headache, especially in the area near the crown of the forehead, pain under the right rib arch, It is visual impairment and some are accompanied by vomiting or nausea. If then these symptoms accompanied by seizures and even unconscious, this is a sign you've been on the disease more severe stage again called eclampsia.

The cause is not clear

Until now the exact cause of the disease can not be explained eclampsia. However, there are some things that can always be found in pregnant women who suffer from these disorders.

First, is the shrinkage of blood vessels, especially small blood vessels that spread to nearly every organ system. This contraction will ultimately inhibit blood circulation can raise blood pressure. Moreover, the shrinkage will also damage the vessel itself. As a result, the organs will lack acidity and tissue damage characterized by hemorrhage and necrosis. In the worsening situation will happen accumulation of blood clotting substances in vital tissues (disseminated intravascular coagulation = DIC) which can be fatal.  DIC is one of the toughest complications of preeclampsia-eclampsia.

Second, is the increased response to pressor substances. Pressor substances may affect the contraction of blood vessel walls. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women reacted poorly to this substance. 

However, if he has a tendency preeclampsia-eclampsia, then the response to pressor substances will increase. But increased pressor substances can also be due to the side sleeping position continuously. 

Preeclampsia-eclampsia is also more likely to occur in women who previously had been having vascular disease. Especially if she is genetically predisposed to suffer from high blood pressure during 

pregnancy. For the latter, endurance and the body's hormonal factors play an important role in the onset of preeclampsia-eclampsia.Could once, it could be several times. Abnormalities of preeclampsia-eclampsia usually occurs in the first pregnancy. You see, for the first time the uterus to receive a fertilized, often leading to a series of reactions and changes that are not fair. In the reaction of multiple pregnancy, it also  also often occured. Besides the woman at first pregnancy over 35 years, are more likely to develop preeclampsia-eclampsia. Likewise, at the too young age of the mother. 

Then, if a woman who suffered from preeclampsia-eclampsia in her first pregnancy will experience the same thing when she was pregnant again? 

The answer can be no or yes. Preeclampsia-eclampsia,  when you experience it more influenced by heredity, is likely to happen again in subsequent pregnancies. Except that in this second pregnancy the 

mother's body is more receptive uterus reactions, abnormalities of course it will not arise. Another story, if preeclampsia-eclampsia in the first pregnancy because the mother is suffering from chronic high blood pressure or vascular disease. As long as the disease has not been lost, it is probable he will suffer preeclampsia-eclampsia in any pregnancy. 

Additionally preeclampsia-eclampsia in the second pregnancy that occurs when the first pregnancy had no abnormalities usually because the mother suffered from the disease.
