Hypertension during pregnancy is a significant health concern, potentially leading to preeclampsia, which can escalate into a life-threatening condition known as eclampsia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), hypertensive disorders account for 10-15% of maternal deaths globally. In India, where access to antenatal care varies, the burden of these conditions is substantial. Preeclampsia typically arises after 20 weeks of pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure and organ dysfunction. If untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as seizures, multi-organ failure, and even maternal and fetal death. Experts emphasize the importance of early detection, with regular monitoring of blood pressure and urine tests being vital for managing the condition effectively. Furthermore, postpartum preeclampsia can develop within six weeks after childbirth, highlighting the need for continued vigilance. By raising awareness about the warning signs and ensuring access to quality care, many risks associated with hypertension in pregnancy can be mitigated, offering safer outcomes for mothers and their babies.
