Many pregnant women experience different changes in their bodies after pregnancy, and some may have symptoms of high blood pressure. This type of hypertension symptom, which only occurs during pregnancy, can usually gradually return to normal after a period of time after delivery. Many pregnant women are concerned about the recovery time of hypertension. So, how long does it take for preeclampsia to recover after childbirth?
Pregnancy induced hypertension usually returns to normal within 12 weeks after delivery. If the blood pressure is still relatively high 12 weeks after delivery, the mother should consider whether there is chronic hypertension before pregnancy; If the mother does not have chronic hypertension before pregnancy, then this condition is due to gestational hypertension disease, which develops into chronic hypertension.
Mothers need to regularly check their physical recovery after giving birth, so that they can have a clear understanding of their recovery status and receive timely treatment when encountering problems. If the blood pressure is still high after 42 days of postpartum follow-up, monitor the blood pressure again at 12 weeks postpartum. If the blood pressure remains high, it can be diagnosed as chronic hypertension. Some obese individuals or those with a familial genetic predisposition have a higher risk of developing chronic hypertension.
Mothers should pay attention to various aspects of their life after giving birth. Good lifestyle habits can accelerate the recovery of preeclampsia, so it is best for mothers to have a light diet and eat more vegetables and fruits; At the same time, it is important to maintain a happy mood, pay attention to rest, and avoid staying up late frequently.
