Hypertension, Pre-eclampsia, and Eclampsia
Understanding postpartum health is vital, especially when managing conditions like chronic hypertension. It’s important to recognize the differences between pre-eclampsia and eclampsia—both serious complications that can arise during or after pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia involves high blood pressure and signs of organ damage, while eclampsia includes seizures and can be life-threatening if left untreated. Continued monitoring and communication with your healthcare provider after birth are key to managing these conditions and ensuring long-term health for both mother and baby.
