When a woman is pregnant, there may be some diseases that only occur during pregnancy, such as anemia, pregnancy diabetes, etc. These are generally pregnancy complications, and pre eclampsia is also a kind of pregnancy complications. So will pre eclampsia affect the fetus?
1. Pre eclampsia can affect the fetus. Pregnant women with any disease can affect the fetus, including preeclampsia. As for the extent to which it ultimately affects the fetus, it needs to be determined based on the condition of preeclampsia.
2. The condition is mild and the impact is minimal. If a pregnant woman suffers from mild preeclampsia, such as spasms in small arteries throughout the body, it can lead to insufficient blood supply to the placenta, thereby affecting the normal growth and development of the fetus.
3. The condition is severe and has a significant impact. If a pregnant woman suffers from severe preeclampsia, it can cause a decrease in placental function, leading to vascular blockage or placental abruption, which can result in fetal death. Therefore, when preeclampsia reaches a severe level, pregnant women should consider terminating the pregnancy.
4. Deterioration into eclampsia. If preeclampsia worsens, the pregnant woman may experience coma and convulsions, and the blood vessels in the pregnant woman's body will also contract, affecting the blood supply to the uterus. The fetus may experience developmental abnormalities, placental abruption, and other conditions. In this case, pregnant women can choose to give birth early, but the baby is also prone to illness due to premature birth.
