During pregnancy, some pregnant women may experience high blood pressure or high blood sugar, which are also common diseases during pregnancy. Especially older and obese women are most prone to these situations. Moreover, these diseases pose a danger to both pregnant women and fetuses. What are the hazards of high blood pressure in elderly pregnant women?
If pregnant women have high blood pressure, it can cause symptoms such as convulsions, coma, heart failure, and in severe cases, it can also endanger the lives of the mother and fetus. High blood pressure in late pregnancy can easily develop into preeclampsia and even lead to complications during pregnancy, such as intrauterine growth restriction, premature birth, placental abruption, and fetal failure to survive.
Therefore, pregnant women should regularly measure their blood pressure, and if high blood pressure is found, it should be treated promptly. During pregnancy, blood pressure can be regulated through dietary therapy. If the therapeutic effect is not satisfactory, medication that does not affect the fetus can be taken.
During pregnancy, it is important to rest more, avoid overexertion, get sufficient sleep, avoid staying up late, and pay attention to a balanced diet to control fat intake. It is also important to exercise outdoors regularly and maintain a relaxed mood. Blood pressure should be measured regularly, and if swelling or spasms are found, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. Especially for some elderly or obese pregnant women, they should pay attention to these issues.
